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

Got my Silent Armors rebalanced. I'm happy now.

And it was my girl's birthday.

What did I do in my 5th Gen today?

Got picked up by the wife from a 1 year trip to the sandbox! Deployment complete.

Back home and ready to figure out what new mods y'all have come up with while I was away.:biggrin2:

Welcome home brother! Glad you made it home safe and hope the rest of your unit did as well.
 
Cruised down to Alki Beach, enjoying the sun while it lasts. If you ever visit the Emerald City its a must see spot. Grab some fish n' chips watch the ferries. :usa2:

Ripped the chipped plastidip off my chrome grill wing and sprayed it with Rustoleum Truck Bed Coating. I really like the textured finish.

We'll see how this holds up now!

My daughter and I just got back from a little exploring of some park services dirt/gravel roads within about 30 miles from my house. Found at least 10 miles worth of scenic back country roads to drive on. No real need for 4wd, but you can engage the system and have a pleasant drive. I think I found a new favorite Sunday afternoon drive!

Installed Bud's sliders today. I had them powdercoated a textured black and I really like how they turned out, closely resembling the texturing on the stock plastic trim.

How long did you have the Plasti-Dip on before it started to chip?

I just sprayed mine today.

It's really not a question of how long, more like until some ******* in a dumptruck pulls in front of you and drops bouncing gravel lovedrops all over the road at 50 mph. :)
 
Let me ask you guys, are you doing it for looks or increased ground clearance?
Or both? Just wondering

Oh just saw this...I messed up both my front bumper and my rear bumper in Moab this spring. So, I figured if I was gonna spend a bunch of dough fixing that, I might as well do the conversion.
 
Spent 3 hours Sunday evening clay-barring tree sap of my truck... and still not done... Most annoying stuff to get rid of EVER.

Give Goo Gone a try on sap, worked great for me!

Thanks.. will do... the vertical surfaces are pretty well clean. the hood has speckles on it (although feels smooth), so I may simply take the polisher to that.

My main issue is going to be the roof. I really wish that Gobi bolted the mesh on instead of welding.. at least that way you don't have to take the whole rack, lights, etc off. I understand the whole structural rigidity deal, but it would have been nice in this case!

I'll give the Goo-Gone a whirl on a Swiffer wet pad and see how that works. Yippee for the Swiffer-mod!
