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

Got 3/4 done yesterday, finished up the rear this morning then had an alignment and tires mounted.. I'll take proper pics tomorrow.

Pretty typical oil change today, however, watching the 10lbs of debris fall from my skid plate and hit the mechanics floor was priceless. He was pissed until I offered to help clean up. :whistle:

Sounds like me when I took the truck to get the winch bumper installed. But my problem was a big coating of bugs on the facia he had to work on. Lol.
 
OME 885's added to the front and Bilsteins set at 0. Traxda 1.25" spacers added to rear. Finally........ Thanks @Hrod. The ride is back to the progressive rate it had before adding the SSS bumper and winch. And the stickers are still breeding. :becky:



 
Not installed yet, but my LS460-R's are built and will ship tomorrow.

How do they manage to level your cutoff, unless they have a 4runner on site to install them? Our 4runner doesn't have a left to right adjustment so it makes it much harder to align it perfectly before the epoxy hardens. It took me a bit to align it to at 50 ft the cutoff is connected to one.

Anyways heres mine, rx330 afs , tsxr, custom shield. 2week project.
 
Went on a short little hike at Gunpowder Falls-

Forecast is for deep leaves!

Girlfriend put a hole in the sidewall of my tire... No she didn't slash my tires. She claims she didn't hit anything but you can see a rub mark and a cut.

One of the guys on my street yelled out that I had a flat as I drove past him, looked down and saw the tire pressure light turn on and heard hissing every time the tire rolled around the spot. Nearest Discount Tire is in Raleigh... Looks like this weekend is gonna be an adventure.

They mount or strap the headlight to a bench, install a bulb and mark output on a wall. After they get the projector in they put it back on the bench in the same spot adjust the projector rotation and alignment based on markings on the wall.

No vehicle needed.

The headlight assy is set level in a jig with the halogen beam lit against a wall at 25'. The cutoff line and step is marked with tape, and the new HID projector is then aligned to the tape. One of the reasons I pay a retrofitter is they know how to do that shite.

Nice choice in lights btw.

Well, of you're going to Raleigh and you've got some time to spare, you should check out Umstead Park. It's beautiful there and there's tons of hiking/biking. I've camped there 100's of times...you can't go wrong. There's also an REI...so...need I say more. :whoo:
