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

Parked next to a Raptor and realised that not only is my truck way cooler, it's also just as tall at the hood

That's the one all right. And I have to say that after driving my truck a day with it, we get better gas mileage, less tire wear, cleaner air inside, brighter sun outside, and a very much enhanced general sense of well-being! Who knew???

:lmao:

Although I do like my $9 Walmart special much better than the goofy huge oem knob I'm thinking my truck is a little more deserving of a quality knob and that one looks really nice. Could you post a pic of it on your truck? Thanks! :boink:
 
Not today but on Monday and Yesterday had my lift install and BMC.
Cutting the BMC

looks like that dude went to same welding school as me...lol:p

Congrats on the lift...looks great!

Thank you, hopefully we can see you and Antman on Sunday. As far as BMC and welding all I care that it is out of way of my tire it is round and all together and you can't beat a freebie, well kind of a freebie.

Here's a pic of the TRD shifter installed. I really love it. It feels elegant, is contoured on the front for fingers, and really adds to the overall feel of the interior.

Here's the link at TRD Parts (thanks to SBVIED) Leather Shift Knob PTR51-00110

It fits PERFECTLY, and the install instruction sheet says it's for 2010- automatic transmission.

Note: I got mine from the huge auction site and the price can vary. Watch out for cheap imitations if you use the auction site. Mine came from a Toyota dealer.

That looks great! It really flows with the interior well. Could I ask you, is the total height of the knob about the same as the stock one? It seems to sit taller, but that probably because a lot more of the metal shaft is exposed.

BTW, sorry to be a stickler, but is the shift knob and the t-case knob 1 or 2 degrees off? If so, plz make it 100% straight ASAP. I have an OCD for these little things :)

I think it's same height. It does for sure show a lot more of the shaft.

As for the alignment, I sure do appreciate your input. I didn't even see that the t-case knob was 'off' (although I did set the shifter so I could see the TRD better). I'll get out there and FIX IT!!! :kiss: :hello: :target: :bluejump:
 
BTW - when you unscrew the stock shift knob, there is a LOT of thread to be unscrewed. And a lot less thread when putting the ultra-cool TRD knob on.

Went and picked up my new umbrella for my little backyard oasis. A 13' octagon cantilever, this thing is huge and with no poles it beats the crap outta the 12x12 insta-awn I had before.



Lauren liked it so much that she flipped out :D

 
Today i came home after long shift and saw some boxes next to my house.

Also sold my original wheels and tires in two days after posting them for sale on craigslist.
 
Right now I'm sitting next to TitanPat camping. Steaks for dinner, campfire is rolling and the tent smells like manfarts. Mmmmmmm.

Gonna be a nice weekend!
