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

I saw they were siped for studs...if I lived up north I'd rock them.

The stud's have been great. They tires and stud's where my snow tire when I lived out in CO. I have little use for them here in the south. In about 20,000 miles I will replace them with some new DuraTracs just without stud's. It truly is an AWESOME tire. A great all rounder!
 
Love my SR5, had it off road with my brother out at my grandparents farm. I love Michelin MS2's, great all weather on road tires. But as others have said, they are mud magnets off road. Really wish I had Cooper's or something else yesterday.

Mounted a S&W collapsable baton using 1.25" Clipper Clips. I also finished blacking-out the chrome a couple weeks ago with platidip. I wish I'd done it sooner!

Dude, that's pretty freakin' awesome; I love weaponized T4Rs. I drove up to Tulsa last weekend. A baton would have given peace of mind at QT on 11th and Utica.
 
The wife and I took advantage of the first real day of spring and took the sea kayaks to Jamaica Bay in Brooklyn. Still need the drysuits though, the water is in the 40's!

Here's the wife proving that there's always time for Facebook! And to secretly give me the finger as well...

And of course a shot of the truck on the old seaplane ramp with the kayaks loaded up, on the way to stuff ourselves with broiled scallops and corn on the cob.

Must have been sweating your ass off in those dry suits after a paddle workout? I did some dry suit diving in Alaska and I never sweated so much in my life.
Good pictures

Thankfully they're not diving drysuits, they're only for surface immersion. They're made from Gore-Tex. They're not that bad, I was wearing just a set of Underarmor underneath and tube socks. It will kinda suck soon when the air is 80 and the water is still 50. There will be a lot of rolling to cool off! My wife wore her hood today (she's always cold) and she has a tan face and white head. Its hilarious...

Season changes can be a pain in the ass around here!
 
Yesterday actually....
I installed Metal Tech offset rear lower links and Toytec Superflex rear springs to replace the SAW rear springs.They gave me 1/2" more lift and are stiiffer then the SAW's as I have some weight going on the rear soon.Also removed the rear Icon Piggy backs to check and lube the bushings.Still good at almost 55k miles on them.

Comparison between the Metal Tech and stock rear lower links.

always look forward to your posts, Gary. any reason in particular that you went with the MT links over some of the other options? any plans to do the uppers/panhead?
