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

Just testing our my new k02s in the fresh snow. I took the truck on the dirt roads around some of the reservoirs by me. So far I'm happy with the tires, it went through anywhere from 3"-9" of unplowed snow like a champ

You notice that my dog is wondering what the hell I'm doing.

I was catching some beautiful rays when along came the postman. I had my husband run up and greet him because clearly I was half dressed. And looks-looks what I got, the rest of my led bulbs. No more sun for me, I need to turn it up in my ride now.

Grayed out my front and read badges and added my rear trail badge (also gray)! It was my first time dipping badges so....I'll need to redo them and not rush next time. But...I love the color and am very happy with the look.

Lift kit weekend

Installed 5100's x4, OME 884's & Daystar rear spacer. Would have gone with rear springs but all say on 2010+ models you get a full 2" with so called 1.5" springs. Was looking for 2.5" in the front and 1.5" in the rear to give a 1" rake.
Ended up at full 3" in front. Got a bit of reverse rake now, hoping the fronts will settle a bit. Test drove it and tore up the front tires quick. Did a "hockey stick" toe align after so I can make it to the alignment shop tomorrow.
Only took 3 hours for entire job.

Try anything interesting, like 4Hi with MTS on the mud/sand setting (what Toyota recommends for deep snow)?

Sure did! That was part of the reason for getting out. Even getting out of my driveway 4H was having a hard time, so I locked the rear diff and turned on A-TRAC which popped me right out. I used MTS for getting around in that trailhead parking lot and after feeling more confident used it while pulling off the road into deep snow and plow build-up for photo stops.
 
Drove around town listening to an Astros game on the radio. Just for the hell of it. The wife thought I was crazy but she doesn't understand what it's like to be in love with your truck. :p

Discovered that I have a broken spring. I'll give [MENTION=44448]ToyTec Lifts[/MENTION] a call tomorrow.

Sheesh that is a lot of rust, and we use mag chloride out here. Mine don't even look like they have any rust compared to yours.

Spent the first 28 years of my life in NH and went through a muffler about every three years. Ever since my move to Colorado, lots of cracked windshields but not a single muffler in over 20 years. Don't understand why they STILL use salt back east. Nasty stuff!
 
Went to the Mule Expedition Outfitters Open House. Was a good time! Lots of FJ's and awesome Landcruisers. Only saw a couple 5th gens.
