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

MT sliders came in last week, knocked it out a few hrs before the snow came in last night...

Been busy. Took advantage of the nice weather to re-do plastidip on some trim pieces. I think the matte silver bits popping out look a lot better than the all-black I did before. Also created an [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] specialty awning for about $25. New wheel and tire combo is on but I don't have pictures yet :tsk: (BFG KO LT265/70/17C on Level 8 Trackers). Working on some weekend camping trips to Turkey Bay and Black Mountian OHV parks to get out and get dirty!

Spent another day waiting for a real spanner wrench to adjust my ToyTec coilovers. :censored: As my good deed for the week, I ordered a few to test out for ToyTec & my fellow 4runner owners that Kevin at ToyTec said he'd kick up to the honchos so we're not stuck with sheared or bent pins. I know I could use some of my tools the wrong way & get them adjusted, & the temptation is there being a former tanker, but the former helicopter mechanic in me won't let that slide. & yes, I'm a proud member of the White Letters Out Club.

Factor 55 Hitchlink was waiting for me today

Got a piece of equipment to forever remind me of my first off road vehicle- blue, which was my 2nd hand FJ- built for trails

Factor55 produces some insanely over-priced pieces of aluminium. I like my flatlink, though I wish it were a little thinner. My ARB shackles take some, uh, persuasion, to fit on it.

I've got a prolink and if they're the same inner diameter then the tjm shackles will fit no problem.

Haha I said nothing about price! Yes I have definitely noticed that they are quite expensive!

That Flatlink is exactly what I was looking at (after I get another winch), pretty smart, I like the idea far better than a hook.

You mean the mouth is too narrow? Well on the bright side if you ever put enough tension on it, it will keep the pin from bending! Good to know though, are ARB shackles the only ones you have tried? I have Crosby's. I assume there are nominal differences in the dimensions. I'll look for some schematics first before I drop $140 bucks on one of those for sure. Thanks :)
 
Removed my center caps during a tire rotation on (Tuesday) now out with the kiddo looking at upgraded audio setups

Reverse rake like whoa! What are those coilovers set at...like 5" lift? I hope you get your spanner wrenches ASAP for your sake :)
