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

[MeBe4running]

Failed at a small creek crossing. Tree's either side, so the only way was to turn back (boring) or straight in and straight out, however it was a little deeper than predicted so I got a nice moooud bath instead.

Winch time, always fun! Washing the mud off, not so much!

Mud really sucks!! But really? Even with A-track on?

I love when people drive 5 miles to the gym so they can run 5 miles on a treadmill there. I do it too sometimes, but always appreciate the humor.

no cardio at my gym right now. today was supposed to be chest and tris. I get my cardio in the evenings when i roll jiu jitsu and train muay thai.

Looks like some thick and sticky mud at that. Had my share of fun with that kind of mud. Have fun cleaning it!!

with some speed you could make it. at the same time you could cause some serious damage. the mud was thick and had a quick sand effect. I tried everything just for fun and got nothing but flying mud! i approached the embankment in 4-lo with the rear-diff locked. to be honest I kind of wanted to get stuck... you know, get that recovery bag out and refresh my winching skill's

Not in my T4R, but I designed this for my father-in-law. Once I get the rest of my parts, I'll show you the 5th gen I'm working on. (I was able to scavenge enough parts to finish the FJ tonight).

Not to mention take some awesome shots of you being stuck right? Only a true photography enthusiast would whip out the DSLR before the recovery bag in that situation

Sooooo, what are you shooting with if I may ask?

 

[eddiebx]

I went to my local dealer in hawaii and saw a gray te and the headlight housing is gray and not black....

I am picking a sr5 4x4 because I need the 3rd row... I would love a te but no 3rd row...

I think that looks like the standard TE headlights? I recall mine being more of a black chrome than a flat black, but I honestly haven't looked too closely at them...

That's awesome! Do share the 4R project when your finished wish it

want details on cool dog. Labrador retriever? Got a few years' age on him, judging by the grey whiskers. Labs rule!

Canon 7D (crop sensor) You can get them new for around $1000-$1200 now (body only)

School's descent man. Nothing really to brag about, and it's taking up a whole lot of time to wheel. Unfortunately I haven't got that SR40 yet. I sold the defiant and hellas a little while back to get a winch, and decided I'd wait till I did a bumper. Other then getting my awning mounted up I haven't had much to do other then routine maintenance.

Plus I spent the winter doing this! And it severely depleted mod funds.

Thank you!

Oh, it happened. First pic in day was on Sunday when I was checking it out (1 of many times) the 2 others in the parking garage were last night. They let me take it home over night. I will officially have the keys Monday.

How have you all been mounting them?

Lots of people mount it on top of the steering column, below the gauge cluster.

I mounted mine like this:

Mine started out on top of the steering column with Velcro but then [MENTION=6163]phillyd2[/MENTION] gave me a BlendMount so now it resides above my rearview mirror. You can also check out [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION]'s build thread for another great mounting option.
