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

Made it to the top of Imogene! Driving down into Telluride looking out at Black Bear we noticed a large traffic jam. Some moron in an old Suburban was driving UP the turns going the wrong way.

Installed a cargo tray, also have a new 20x36 inch raingler net on there. I have some extra tie down points I need to add as well.



 
New wheels and tires. [MENTION=85422]FNWheels[/MENTION] BFD's with 265/70R18 Cooper Discoverer A/TW's

Initially a fair amount of rubbing, but the dealer was kind enough to do the fender liner mod to make some room in front and remove the mini mudflaps (after my suggestion).

You can tell I'm not great with the phone camera, but more pics here.

Looks like your trip is going well, stay dry and post more pics!


Scheduled new duratracs for tomorrow and alignment for new UCAs. Will see what that looks like....

Great to see those tires on a 4R. Not as aggressive looking as I would have thought, but the tread pattern looks killer for wet or snowy road driving. Thanks for the pics!

Hmmm...I'm pretty sure I saw you in Santa Fe, NM this past weekend. Was that you???
 
Did you plastidip your fender flares?

Yep, did the flares and front valence. Still haven't done the rear... One of these days I'll get to it.

Dammit! Another reason for the sheriff to ***** about needing to close Black Bear.

Yeah it was pretty ridiculous to look at. He was probably just past half way up and was trying to pass another car. It was hard to tell so I got out the telephoto on my Nikon and zoomed in as much as I could. There were tons of other cars waiting at a turn out just above that. Honestly I was surprised at the cars I saw on that road. For as dangerous as it is, I saw a big conversion van, a crossover and other stock SUVs. Followed by a ton of lifted jeeps.

That's a sweet looking T4R. Are those the ST MAXX''s?

Yep, 255/80/17

It's going great! We did part of the Alpine Loop up to California Pass then over down Corkscrew Gulch on Tuesday. I took my mom along for that, HUGE MISTAKE lol....
I've taken a ton of pics on my SLR and GoPros. The internet at the house we are at is pretty terrible though so I haven't posted much. That shot was with my phone, but I got several others with the SLR at the peak.

Yeah that was probably me! We stop there on the way up Saturday and got some lunch. Pretty cool down. We may stop by on the way home again this weekend.

No more dangerous than other trails in the area, not difficult at all either, a stock 4runner would have no problem. It's got to be the most over-hyped trail on the planet. Traffic is 2 way up to the falls.
 
Installing my sliders today I noticed this.

Looks like I bent back my body mount thing while wheeling last time. Technical I know.
Can I just bend this back? Danger if I do?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Got a cab mount /body mount chop this morning. Feels good to do full lock turns again.
