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

Picked up a refurbished Titan Rod Vault at their factory...perks of them being based in Denver! After plasti-dipping it anthracite grey, installed them today. If you use the stock cross bars, you'll need two spacers for the rear mount, and shorter bolts up front.

For a second there I thought you repurposed an old 30mm GAU-8 barrel as a single-shot traffic abatement device!!
 
^^^^Soooooo jealous! Looks like it was epic.

Thanks I could not have slept in the truck 11 nights if it wasn't for your cargo mod! :cheers: I do have a shower set up so it wasn't 11 nights without being clean lol... Here is a pic of your cargo mod the "back saver" below along with a few other pics from the trip.

Cool! Really nice to hear that.:guitar3:
 
Took the family to Everglades National Park today. Thanks to [MENTION=123965]paulndot[/MENTION] for recommendations. Walked parts the Shark Loop Trail and got to see some awesome wildlife and gators. On the way back even took the scenic route across from the Taimiami road (gravel off road trail) and got to lube up the front differential for the month. Too dark for the vehicle pictures but was nice to have the 4runner have some fun in its natural habitat.

One last project for the day. Mounted up my iPad Air 2 to the inside trim piece using [MENTION=129593]MTN4RNR[/MENTION] tutorial: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-g...-driving-adventuring-mtn4rnr.html#post2190114

LOOK AT ME, I'M A TESLA!!!

The AIR might be a bit too big for trail use, but I'm going to futz with it some more before I decide on going iPad Mini. It's all connected to the DUAL XGPS 160 velcro'd to the back of the case.

Weather finally warmed up so I decided to plastidip most of the chrome. (Still need to do rack.) Hadn't seen another Nautical Blue Limited "de-chromed" so I thought I would post some pics. (Super, super easy)

Got dark. Final pics tomorrow.

Decided to plastidip the roof rack and the Limited emblem. They are in process.

Damn, that looks like a Star Destroyer's interface panel.

I love it, it keeps things ridiculously hot for a ridiculous amount of time, my only gripe is the top's hole is left too big, so I keep expecting a scalding hot jet of coffee to come shooting up during a sudden breaking.

I like to think of it more as The Matrix, in which case, "Blonde, Brunette, Readhead, I don't even see the code anymore..."

Thanks for the nod Cymon! Glad you enjoyed Shark Valley. We spend a lot of time out there and at Big Cypress. PM if you ever wanna go wheel or canoe, or just enjoy the glades! I guess we were out there at the same time. I bought a set of crossbars, mounted the canoe, and headed out on the Turner River to see some more gators.
