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

Took the bulldog to get spayed. Damn shame as she has top notch bloodlines but I don't want to deal with another female with PMS...

Always loved this Far Side:

went to the dealer for my first 5k check, didn't have them rotate my tires. so just lube the mechanical then went to America's tire to have the tires re-balanced and rotated. Runs straight and smooth once more now that the tires had a chance to break in.

Installed Surefire flashlight holder a la [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] style. Thank you yet again for another wonderful idea, Mr. Antman.

Used plastic-deck Reese carrier to haul off a set of wrought iron railings original to the front entrance of my 1926 house. Had rails bead blasted and powder coated ahead of a pile of concrete work (new driveway, garage floor and front steps). They look great and are ready for next 87 years. Rain has the concrete guys a little behind schedule, but the rails are ready to go.

Traded in my 2010 Black Trail w/ 90K miles for a new 2013 Black Trail. Both KDSS/Nav models. Loved the 2010 but I'm putting on about 35K miles a year (got the 2010 TE 2 yrs ago used with 13K miles) and I thought I'd refresh and 're-zero' the odometer while i could still grab a 2013 that would get me through to the Gen6 series (2017?). I just can't warm up to the front end of the 2014s TE, plus I got a great deal on the 2013.

first post after 3 yrs of lurking ... and learning.
 
chagned my oil (resulting in a small ecological disaster), greased all the drive shaft zerks, pounded my ARB skids back into shape after they took a fairly significant shot while wheeling, waxed out some red neck pin stripes, and gave the under carriage a good spray down, and planned out my next set of mods. pretty productive day
 
Went to visit family in Ruidoso, NM and decided to mess around a little bit on Capitan Mountain in the Lincoln National Forest. Got to test out the new suspension and tires...was fun times.

Did a fun trip to Montana. No, I didn't see Ducmonsta, though I did drive all over Idaho and Oregon. 2400 miles pulling my trailer, averaged 16 mpg.

Met up with my mom at Starbucks. I sold her my 3rd Gen last year when I bought my 5th Gen. This is the first pic I have gotten of them together since I lifted mine. She loves rockin the modded 3rd Gen though:guitar3:

Drove from Las Vegas to Cathedral City CA for a buddies birthday, went the scenic route through Amboy and Kelso dunes, took me 3 hours and averaged 19 MPG, (It was windy as a MoFo)
Drove back the next day and got 21 MPG

You know that every little problem that car has you're going to have to fix.

Moms, you gotta love them!
