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

Any details, tips or tricks? I'm planning to do the same if mine ever shows up.

Yea, cut more than you think you need. I measured/scribed about 3 times in an effort to cut it perfectly the first time. It was a little short on the fender well end and it kind of bothers me but no one else even notices when I point it out. I used a jig saw with a fresh metal cutting blade. Like butter.
 
Had a light day!!!!

Installed:
Yellow 9005
HID 5000k H11
LED replacement for door, cargo and map lights (9 bulbs)

(did morimoto LED fogs last weekend)

Here are some pics, i couldnt get any of the interior as the cell phone was not liking the night photos

Not sure if this picture does justice but since i drive at night every day there is a HUGE difference in what can see and how far

Washed. Waxed. Oil change. Tire rotation and tried out some plastic dip. It came out clean. I did 4 coats. I'll start blacking out more next weekend.

Yay! New Glass

The one day this year I decide to drive to work instead taking Metro... Landscape vendor decided to send a rock through the passenger window with his mower. At least they came and got me, and have offered to fund the replacement.

Completed 30 hours of advanced first aid training. The 3-Day Tactical Casualty Care course. Blast scenario here (different student, I took the photo) first time the company offered course to non LE/Military. Note the 4R in the background :usa2:

A productive Sunday! Finally found some time and a buddy and I installed a warn winch into my Shrockworks bumper. Bumper install deja vu with removing the entire bumper and front skid.

5 hours, some bashed knuckles and 2 angered wives later it was done. Now just need to get longer bolts to mount the fairlead to the lower winch holes. The supplied bolts were too short.
 
FYI
4 wheel parts is having a sale, free shipping on orders over 75 until midnight.
Just ordered a highlift jack :)

Also just put a deposit on a ARB rooftop tent to pick up when I get home.

:)

Was that done through InSights?

Went to a hot spring in Baja Sur, Mexico

Awesome day driving in the rain, across arroyos, through serious rock slides, up and down roads with no more dirt left, just rocks....all to get to a pristine hot spring on a cool day in August due to nearby hurricane Marie.

All this with OEM Dunlop tires. Would be easier with All-Terrains or the like, but hey, I've got Crawl Control!

Beach run this past weekend to Destin, FL. Sorry, vehicles not allowed on the sand there so no pics of true beach running. But the vehicle got us and all the beach gear and ice chests there in style & comfort. Most seat time I have had in it to date, being the wife's daily driver. Very happy with this purchase and thrilled with the front bilstiens. Avg mpg 19.2 running mostly 80. Thinking that's not bad.

Decided to forgo some practicality and jumped head long into Cooper STMaxx on Stealth SR8s. Tires ride great. Ever so slight hum I can hear but I have bat ears for that stuff. Toytec BOSS lift comes Thursday then my build will be pretty much complete.

Well I finally broke down and got a lift. It'll be the last thing I do for awhile since I am saving for a house. I have some crappy photos right now but I may put up a build thread in the near future.

Finally got a chance to snap pics of my new suspension:

OME 885 Coils w/ Bilstein 5100's set at .85 in Front
Light Racing UCA's
Differential Drop Kit
Toytec Springs in the Back
Bilstein 5100's Rear
Goodyear Duratrac 285/70/17 on Method NV Race Wheels

I'm a happy camper :D

how are those tires on the road? sound wise
 
Stopped by Shrockworks in Houston to pick up my TE rocker trim from the recent group buy for my 2012 LE.

Grabbed a gratuitous bumper/slider pr0n pic while I was there. Enjoy ;-)
