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

[cbielat]

Are you going to DIY or have a shop install?

I'm going to have a shop that knows exactly what they're doing install them. I'll take out the diffs and bring them to have them done. It's not like rotating tires lol. I'll pay someone with the expertise in this area to do it for me.

Ordered new seals, oil, nitrogen fill port, 700lb springs, uniballs and spherical bearings to overhaul coilovers and UCAs. About 70K miles on the Icon coilovers and they are overdue for rebuild and need more spring, 40K miles on the TC UCAs and I think I'm starting to feel a little play in the uniballs.

Anyone be interested in a how to on rebuilding Icon shocks?

GoPro Mount

I did not like the view from the roof rail, too far back. Don`t have a rack to get it more up front. Thought I would try mounting it to the lower front grille.
Now I need to get off-road for a better photo and maybe a water crossing. I used a GoPro roll bar mount with the grille sandwiched in between. I will use plasti dip to cover the shiny screws.

Took Midnight out for a romp (all highway) to Fremin's Restaurant in Thibodaux, LA for a little fine dining with the wife....
Old building with lots of history turned into a restaurant that serves really good food.

 

[Mistaken]

^ Nice! I took the wife to New Orleans last year and we had a blast!

Keep the frame rate high so you can get some good slow motion of entering and exiting the water crossing.

You need 1/2" gap or the bumper will hit the body. The bumper is attached to the frame and moves independently from the body.

What dirt/dust issue? That area is open to the outside normally.

Thanks for the clarification. I read somewhere someone was having problems with dust/dirt getting inside the cab but after hearing from others, it seems it may have been an isolated occurrence.

Did the same thing with the same mount when I went off-roading a couple months ago and controlled it through the app on my iPod. It gives a great angle and cool video.

I just got the suction cup mount. I'm going to try it out soon. Figured I'd mount it on the hood.

Installed Fuel Boost rims and Toyo AT2's a week after we purchased our 2015 SR5 Premium. She sure is pretty! Now need to read and figure out how to post pics.
