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

Nah I like them painted. Same for the door handles. Could have just plastidiped them but ordered the color matched Canadian ones. Looks cleaner in my opinion.
 
^^^ Don't know the back story but that Sasquatch sighting is awesome.

On an unrelated note, went skiing and had reason to use the chains for the first time with the new truck.

Chains? Really?

Growing up in snow country, I wouldn't even consider putting it in 4x4 yet.
 
High speed run from DC to South Carolina and back. Had to surprise a friend and mentor as we celebrated his retirement after 30+ years of service.

Packed up and ready to head off to Santa Barbara for vacation, I was pleasantly surprised that even with the roof box and all this luggage I still averaged 19.7 MPG.

What brand hitch carrier is that and how do you like it?

Looks like a ROLA. I just got one of their truck organizers off Amazon during a lightning deal. I like it, working out great so far. Prevents all the little stuff from falling in the crack when I pull the tray out.

We got our tree the other day, always fun doing the load and unload off the top!

I want that suit in the background for the next time we're sitting around the campfire and Antman is passing gas...

Congratz on your Bro's career
 
Went and fetched a Christmas tree...and while I was at it...picked up a new icing decorating kit I've had my eye on for awhile...

The Christmas treat bake off is tomorrow at school...and there's this one broad that I just want to whip her a$$ in the worst way...and the new kit may push me over the top on my world famous raspberry filled wreath cookies:banana:







oh yea Jeff..

What does you growing up in snow county have to do with whether chains were prudent on a shaded section of a certain road in Colorado that regularly (based on personal experience the last 8 years) has a layer of ice under the snow near a runoff in October and November? Just curious.
 
Despite babysitting a house full of sick kids and starting to feel like this :toilet: myself, I installed my 10" Rigid SR SPOT today in the center of my Gobi. Just couldn't wait.

I don't recall anyone else having the spot beam?

A quick night drive confirms that the spot was a good choice when combined with the two 6" Specter driving lights on the sides. According to the Rigid light chart it projects useable light over 1/4 mile...yeah. It borders on stupidity, that's how bright they are.

I will post pics in my thread when I start feeling better! :barf:

Put new shock absorbers on son's truck today, While the wheels were off, put one up to the 4Runner. Looks good, too bad they won't fit. Toyo 295 M/T on Moto metals.

What size tires are those exactly? Several of us run 295/65R18 (myself) or 295/70R17, a handful even run larger (305s). Those may fit your TE!
 
Tires

Toyo M/T 295/70/17. I don't have a lift yet, they looked close to fitting on the back. Your input gets me more interested in a lift now.
