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

Last night we went to the dealer and drove home with our new 2012 4Runner Trail Edition!! Not waisting any time, I installed my first "family" mod....

Damn where'd you get them?? there's a whole thread about that damn tissue box Here:shrug:
 
Wait, 2012's tell you it's a tissue box? I don't think mine says it. You have a pencil holder? Huh, never noticed!
 
Isle 14 next to the TP in Stop & Shop!

I was there today and looked again, no joy :mad: No matter I guess. I got a box thats just a bit to big jammed in there and its still full after 6 months so that'll prolly last til 2014 :wink2:
 
Today I picked up my new T4R with only 4 miles on it... and learned how to make it fit in the garage.
 
Although it is super easy, getting too old to memorize the shift pattern of manual 4wd lever. (Don't use it enough....) In accord, way to old to see un-highlighted patten imprinted on the knob. I solved the problem with a little touch up paint.

Finally got around to plasti-diping my rear emblems. Super easy. Then sprayed spray-on truck bed liner on the rear bumper. It was getting pretty beat up.

I am going to have to do the same to the fender plastic as well. Every time I come back from exploring it is more and more jacked.
 
Can you post some pictures of the finished product and what spray did you use, my dogs are scratching the poop out of mine.
 
For the emblems, I just masked out a square around everything. 4 coats and just pealed off all the plastidip around the letters.

The bedliner spray I used is the Rustoleum brand. I chose this brand because it has less of a texture to it than the Dupli-Color product. I might have to do more coats, but I wanted to see what it is like on there. From a distance, you cant really tell that it is even there at all. Here are some close ups.

I just masked everything off and sealed the back hatch opening with plastic. Then took a tack cloth and cleaned up the area on the bumper.
 
New WeatherTech digi's :thumb3:

Though I knew they are quality mats I was skeptical of the fit. Man was I wrong these things fit perfect!! :bigok:

sweet! What model did you get?

Sweet X2! Pics of it opened?

Lmao I only ask just so you'll open it again, no doubt you've already opened it like 10 times :boxer: :wink2:
 
Finally got done with refinishing one of my great grandfather's safari boxes. It is #3 of 11. It is a custom Anvil case from around the late 60's I believe. It weighs almost 40lbs empty. These things have been around the block a few times from Alaska to Australia.

I haven't made up my mind if I am going to use it as a food box, or a third utility box yet.

It's the ARB Pilbara. Identical to the Simpson III only without the entrance vestibule thing.

I actually picked it up and put it on while I was "at work" so was in a hurry and as a result it's mounted so that it would open forwards. Have to wait until I can get someone to give me a hand taking it off tomorrow so I can put it on the right way. Otherwise I'd probably sleep in it tonight :D
 
Ok, thanks to pawzitiv the tent is mounted properly and I was able to open it. Pretty impressed with how easy it is to use and the amount of room inside.

towed my G-cat from Key Largo back home with it. In the process of backing up to the trailer to hook it up, scratched the rear spoiler pretty bad.....this did not make me happy.

Sold the damn boat the same day. Now time to get the buffer out..

mtbnole - how do you like the T4R compared to the Xterra? We traded our '08 SE 4WD last week for a SR5 4WD and love it! I do miss the touchy throttle and firmer suspension but no real regrets so far.
