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

Looks good how about a strip of rubber between the 2"conduit clamp and compressor body, or do you think it will work it's way out while in use?

Also any luck finding standard hose fitting, I bought a compressor from OW and it came with those 1-off connecters and i can find anything to fit

Forgot to mention that, I did add some rubber gasket between the clamp and compressor. It is very secure, no movement that I have noticed yet. No luck on fittings, so I lopped the end off the hose that came with it and used a hose-barb and clamp to go with the standard fitting. So I have to hoses, the one that came with the compressor for the non standard end, then another 25' with standard fittings. It works for now.

Thanks,

Logged 10K on the odometer today. ATTEMPTED to complete the LED interior light mod as well. So far, I have the driver's side puddle light (psgnr side connecting rod got pushed back into the housing; gonna have it looked at when I take it in for its second oil change) the map lights. Still needing to complete the dome and vanity light. Kinda hesitant to complete the back hatch lights bc I've been reading how pple have noticed they ten to stay slightly illuminated. Really wanting to upgrade the reverse lights. I know its a small touch with those but its the little things that count.:boink: Btw, does anyone know a part# and a distributor I can go to for reverse lights. Been trying to PM so_LED but as some of you know, he's backed up and responses are SLOW:smashputer:

I hauled some crap. No, really, I hauled some crap!
For the garden, spent the week-end putting s**t in my wife's garden so she would give ME crap!

Paid a visit to our new vehicle sponsor down at the border.

A big thanks to John, Sergio, and Liz! Fantastic people to work with, and an equally fantastic product. Really doesn't get better than that!

I went to home depot, for me it was a 1/4" hose barb with either a 1/4" pipe end in brass. 1/4 in. x 1/4 in. Brass Barb x MIP Adapter-LF A192 at The Home Depot. Depends on the inside diameter of the hose you have, most are either 1/4" or 3/8" with 1/4" pipe thread for the other end.

Hope that helps

Got the rear links I made last week back from powder coat today and assembled them. Turned out like little pieces of art. BEAUTIFUL. :biggrin2:

Can't wait to put them on this weekend!!!!

not in my 4Runner or me driving but my Wifes Venza has been wrecked now for the third time in 7 months:wtf:, not major, some old guy driving around in a parking lot in lala land drove into the drivers side rear bumper, quarter panel and rear door. Same spot as the last two, except each time the damage is progressivley moving alittle bit forward. So frustrating to deal with other peoples insurance companies:vader:. Just a rant.

If I were you, I would always park with that particular side of the vehicle directly next to a concrete wall. Just sayin'...

Sorry man- sounds very frustrating. Better luck to ya!

Hit 10k on the way to the last snowboarding trip of the season that quickly turned into hiking at Turquoise lake outside Leadville, CO on a 65 degree day. I wish these CO back roads were open to snowmobiles AND 4runners.

It was yesterday, but I swapped out the limited rims/tires for some FJ 265/70r17 rims (Trail rims, but a little darker pewter vs brighter silver)

Installed 5100s all around. Front set to 0.85. They feel awesome!

Had a pretty productive day yesterday...

Installed ARB Fridge Tie Down system to sliding tray (No drilling) Tip: If you removed the divider in the back of the tray, you can use the existing holes which was perfect. For the front, I mounted it underneith to holes already in the frame of the tray.

I also installed the ARB Fridge Wiring Loom, and ran all my wiring for the IBS Dual Battery system...just waiting on the aux battery.

Still need to wire some switches and figure out why my amp is making a horrific noise when one of my RCA cables is plugged in???

 

[Antman]

and figure out why my amp is making a horrific noise when one of my RCA cables is plugged in???

= ground loop, most likely. When the truck is running?- What noise and conditions?
Change the ground on your amp, and or ground the outer portion of one of your RCA cables directly to the vehicle ground; if it's a ground loop.

Pics!

You install them yourself? I've been considering getting some to help the ride out and lift the front end up a smidge.
