Doh! that's rough. MetalTech is pretty good though. I was out at their shop the other day, they have some cool toys.
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Lift went in this evening. Toytec/Eibach fronts with bilsteins set to 0.85 (I've been running the shocks for 2 years) and toytec super flex rears also with bilstein shocks. The springs ended up giving 1.5in additional lift in the front and about 2.25in in the back. So I have a bit of a rake again, but it'll be fine when loaded up. Time to settle in and get an alignment. I'll get better pics of the truck when the rain clears up.

Yesterday: Icon billet UCA's and MetalTech rear lower links.
Last week: Schrockworks rocker trim.
Also found this yesterday. Two years old and 28k miles on these Icon VS 2.0, both are leaking this is the worst of the two. I would think for the $$ that these would last much much longer than they have.
Billy! You're back! Haven't seen you on here for a while. Began to wonder if you sold your truck lol. My rears look somewhat similar but not that bad. Not as thick as yours.

Billy nice to see you around. Mine Icon shocks less then year old and 8.5K miles and have some evidence of leaking too, not as bad but they have it. In the begging they were squeaking, so i send them to Icon and they said the seal was installed bad, now they are leaking. I'm sure Icon will come around.

Thanks guys!!
Yeah the right side is definitely leaking the left could be seepage but leaks start small....
Got a pm from [MENTION=90499]mx355[/MENTION] the other day asking about the OEM SR/Limited mud flaps being used with the Schrockworks rocker trim. They fit okay though they sit about 2 inches higher than with the Limited rocker, I had to drill new mounting holes (1 in the flap 2 in the fender flare) to mount them. They're not perfect but they'll keep some of the crud from covering the side of the truck. A couple of pics you be the judge.

Thanks Billy. I don't have any touch sensors. My truck is an SR5. Oh yeah, I took the SR5 emblems off today too. I'll edit that in there lol.

Armored up.
Budbuilt bump out sliders & expo weight (1/8 lite steel) skids.
Nice, I didn't realize they made lighter gauge ones.

Trip pics
Well finally downloaded all the pics from my road trip, had fun even though I was sick the whole trip with a nasty cold and cough. A few snapshots of the truck... my wife took some absolutely amazing pics of things along the way, although I was in charge of any 4Runner pics. I'll see if I can figure out how to post some here... sorry if it comes out wrong. Should be two Moab, a flower my wife snapped, Ouray, then the top of Wolf Creek pass on the way home.

Hmm
Looks like those pics posted but sizing is off, sorry! The trip was inspired by all the travels of everyone on here, although I lugged all my camping stuff the whole trip I was too sick to camp at all, but it was still a great trip. We went from Denver to Silverthorne for a night then to Moab, then stopped in Ouray, had planned on driving through Silverton but the road was shut down, DOH! Backtracked then went to Durango for a couple days and back up through Leadville to Silverthorne where we have a place for another day. We spent time in Arches, Canyonlands, and hit Mesa Verde NP to see the cliff dwellings (that wasn't all that exciting actually).
Roof rack and ladder will be here any day and new suspension will go in soon, I'll be ready for the next trip, hopefully we'll stay healthy! I plan to take the kids camping this year for the first time, they've done the back yard so I think they are ready for car camping. Although my 3yr old is quite concerned about the idea of no potty, I think she'll be ok!
