What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Went to the local mountains in So Cal, found a little snow. In 2WD was able to feel the Trac doing its thing. Set off the VSC beeper too. in 4WD nothing slipped, no beeps as expected.

I'm waiting for a good foot of snow here in Connecticut! I want to play around with my 4RT and the different controls....
 
I ran out to my dad's house to install a new toilet. He is in his late 70's. Anyway, my parents live out in the country on 6+acres. After installing the toilet, I shot a few rounds through my Remington 870 Tactical. It was one of my Christmas gifts and I was anxious to shoot it! This is what it looks like after some slight modifications. It is the one on the left.:50cal:

God help the person who decides to enter my home without my permission!

After returning from the "laser" car wash, I was planning out the transmission cooler install and noticed a little surprise from the "free" dealership oil change. It's a busted bolt that holds on the skid plate (left & right side broke).

OK....nothing is really "free"

Same happened to me, they didn't bother putting the plastic bolt back. My first trip to my local dealer ended up with a leaky oil change that made a line of oil for about 30 Km. I'm afraid to go back..... Nearest alternate dealer is 1 hour and 30 mins away..... Really thinking of going to a quick lube.
 
Installed a blue sea fuse box underhood on the passenger side to better organize wiring to my accessories. I used a variation of the cutting board mount pioneered by Antman. I also cleaned up my dual battery wiring and added conduit so DucMonsta won't make fun of me next time I am at his shop.

Finally, I installed a blue sea USB charging socket in the center stack wired as 'always on' and also pre-wired to add two additional always-on outlets in the back.

Switched out the chrome SR5 fog lamp bezels for black TE Bezels. Replaced the stock amber turn signap bulbs with some brand new old school SiverStars that I found on ebay. These bulbs look blue when not in use and light up amber when in use.

Had some free time so I "stubbied" my Aries grill. Its growing on me. Maybe by next year, I will get bored of this look and go Defiant. Who knows.

Yes, I know, the truck is filthy.

I also know my Toyota emblem is missing. The plastidip is drying.

Looks nice! Where did you get the TE Bezel?
 
I took my 2013 TE to the notary to sign over my Gen 3 to its new owner. On the way back, the wife says "I'm sad. I loved that truck." [sniff]

I got a little misty too....right up to the point when I deposited the cashiers check in my bank account. :biggrin2:
