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

[DannyLlama]

Picked up my Keystone Passport Elite 23RB yesterday. It's my 23ft home away from home when I'm not deployed since I'm a geographic bachelor. It's pretty solid. You can't see it because it's covered but it's an undermounted stainless steel sink. So far it tows pretty well, the 2" of butt sag sucks but will be corrected next week, once I'm resettled, with an Airlift 1000 kit. Before any bashing about a tow vehicle, I know it's not an ideal TV but I compromised on the RV (length/weight) to keep the 4R, since it wasn't practical or financially viable to trade it in for something else (not to mention once I park it, it's not moving for several months, except 10 miles to the lot where it's stored while I'm gone). Fully loaded (for me) it sits around 4800lbs (I know others have been considering other RVs around 4400ish lbs, so I wanted to pass this experience along. I have never towed with a vehicle before (towed many of boats with a boat) but I definitely don't feel like I'm white knuckling anything with this even with the steeper grades by my house (about 12%). First 100 miles been avg 12.8mpg which I expected based on other threads. Doing an 800 mile trip from WA to Bay Area, CA. Will report how that goes when I'm done.

Good Sh it man! That trailer looks awesome! How many does it sleep and what did it run you?

Sleeps 4. 2 in the bed (obviously), and the couch flips out and has an airbed attached to sleep another 2. Came with a BBQ, fully sealed underbelly, heated tanks, 19ft awning, outdoor and indoor speakers, 22" TV with DVD player, oven, furnace, A/C, and lots of storage. There's also 2 bar stools on the other side of the "L" to sit at the counter that aren't pictured.

All said and done with sewer and water hoses and a full cover for it, I was out the door at $27,500.

Getting my 30k service at Helena motors in Helena, MT. So far, so good.

Finally got my '13 TE back from the body shop after two weeks of a crappy rental. It was in the body shop longer than I have driven it since buying it. Stuck a Smitty beaver tail on the back so the next person that rear ends my will get a little surprise.

Installed a prefab JL Audio HO 10 inch single that put a grin on my face.

Next to come is a lift and some new shoes!

Anyone install an Inno universal fit fairing? I'm thinking about it for wind noise reduction

 

[Semi-Hex]

They were able to turn off my seat belt alarm noise maker! I'm happy.

Removed my OEM hood protector to inspect mylar strips that I was planning to remove and replace anyway. ONR'd the front of the hood and then waxed that section covered by the protector. Once cleaned, I then applied new mylar strips and doubled them up to protect against the brackets. I've had the hood protector on for close to 10,000km/6,000mi and the original strips were in tact but some were crimped.

About as hardcore as I get.

Complete LED swap... Looks amazing on the blizzard pearl.

I put a target deer on my roof to take to my sisters wedding. Typical Sunday...

Drove to Pinehurst and played Number 2 this morning...

Err....:yuck: :evil: :wof: :barf: Green??

If you like it then it's awesome!

 

[eddiebx]

what you guys think

The neon green looks a bit out of place since it's just that alone...maybe color match a few other little accent pieces along with it? Or stick a few monster energy drink logos all over the body and windows :bigok:

Just my opinion of course

I agree. I actually like it but think it would look a little better with some other matching parts. But be careful because you will be dancing in the thin line of ricer if you go to far.

Rain-X'd all the windows for the first time since buying it. Oh and last Thursday marked 6 months of ownership. :reddance:

Worked on a new Rear Bumper

I went up into the hills in Alpine and got into some cool stuff. Pushed my bumper inside out on the trail and popped the hose off my intake.

Nice trail scars!

Is that Anderson Truck Trail by chance?

Decided to plasti dip the emblems on my new-to-me FJ wheels. The shadow makes it look like the edge is black to but they aren't.
