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

Thanks guys...RCI does some job....fit was spectacular.... Only thing frustrating was the 1/4" bolt on the skid was too short to work.
 
The Budbuilt hidden winch and Warn M8000 are installed now. I also installed my RCI aluminum LCA skids. They were so pretty I couldn't bring myself to paint them. Gotta say, the quality, packaging and customer service are top notch. I'll eventually be replacing my ARB skids with RCIs.

Was it the 1/4" bolt on the LCA skids? I had the same issue. Bought some 3" at Home Depot and they worked fine. So, no problem with fit around the radiator supports with your swaybar relocate or fit around the cat-tubes? Are the holes in the front of the engine skid custom or standard?

Everything fit with no issues...thanks for the HD tip...I'll probably just order some grade 8 from McMaster Carr
 
De-badged the SR5 logo. Always thought it was an odd place to put an emblem. Was easy, just heated with a heat gun and twisted the logo and it came right off. Left no adhesive residual. Just wiped and put some wax on the area.

Cut about 1" off the exhaust to provide more departure clearance. Also used the chrome exhaust from a highlander. Was a alittle cheaper than the 4runner one, installation was easier compared to the 4runner one. I liked the oval shape.

Did for my 4Runner

Spring cleaning. Got my grind on again on one of the three skids.

[MENTION=77842]EasylyConfused[/MENTION] Did you cut your front OEM bumper cover to keep the under headlight pieces or did you use the supplied ones from Shrockworks(assuming that's a Shrockworks bumper)? I only ask because those are the cleanest and most flush looking pieces I've seen for this application. Maybe it's just the angles and the lighting the more I look at it.

It is a Shrockworks bumper, and I did cut up my front bumper, as it was already damaged on the bottom, so I was never going to sell it. I will likely take some better pictures later. This took me close to 8 hours with cutting the bumper and installing the front bud built skid plate, with the plate on the shrockworks bumper. Overall I am very happy with the way it turned out.
