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

Waxing the truck as we speak using Mothers Carnauba Wax.

I drove a popular motorcycle route through the Hill Country northwest of San Antonio today. Beautiful drive. Probably would have been funner with a Vette or Camaro, but the 4R sufficed just fine. I even ran into this group of original off road vehicles looking like they had just finished the route. I'll be meeting with a group of central Texas off roaders tomorrow to go play at The Canyons ORV Park, up north of Fredericksburg.

[MENTION=105481]3wbdriver[/MENTION], please report on how Canyons is. I've never been to that off road park, but would go if it's cool. Looks like you had a good time today. Hill Country drives are very nice. It's really an unknown part of Texas to people from out of state.

Got the runner back from the shop. Couldn't be any happier with the result!!!

UPS is enroute with my rear long travel as we speak! Which rear spring rate did you go with? I went for the heavies due to my rear bumper coming.

Mediums. I had seen them in duty previously with a similar amount of weight as I usually carry and felt confident with the 650's
 
First time cleaning the engine compartment since my purchase back in 2/2010.
Sorry no before n after pics. The hood liner gives you an idea of what the engine looked like before cleaning.

I attempted to hit the OTay Truck Trail in San Diego but couldn't find it...#*?@! I was so ready for some scenery and a little wheelin'.
 
Built myself a storage box for the cargo area! Lots of great build threads for drawers, but I didnt have the material/know how to do drawers, so I opted for a top open box. I didnt really buy any material apart from the hardware; 3/4" finish ply would be better for the whole thing, but I used scavaged 2x4s from another project. They were really pretty easy to deal w/ if you dont have a nice table saw to deal with ply sheets. The top (each side opens independently) is a finished maple ply (also scavenged). If anyone is interested, I could make a thread with some other pictures! Not perfect, but it fits, and looks better than I thought (I am not handy..) Now just need to fill them

Leveled the floor...

Certainly not as cool as F1scher's the storage system right above, but I leveled the rear floor with a basic platform. It's basic, bit it will serve its function for camping back there.

As bonus, it also works a ramp for my elderly dog.
