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

Bought it on Wednesday, windows tinted on Friday. Nothing yet today but I had to play catch up. :D

Nice, you are going to like this truck. Be very careful of this forum tho, it's addictive and will likely lead to bad spending habits.

Thank you. Luckily for me my other addiction already gets the majority of my extra cash. I plan on playing around a little with the 4Runner but it's main job will be getting the bike on the left to the race track. :D

Well today I TRIED to put on my new icon resi rear shocks but it turns out none of the original upper mounting hardware will fit and icon didn't see fit to ship any with it so I now have to figure out how/where to source it and order and wait a week for it :(

Seems like a pair of $1200 shocks could have maybe included a set of upper urethane spacers, washers and top nut! :mad2:

Call Icon. I'm sure they include the mounting hardware.
 
First major snow storm up the hill... Decided to collect some fire wood and do a bit of exploring!

Well that sucks; they should have at least indicated you would need the new hardware to install them.

they do; were included with mine. i was also super anal about laying out all my parts and to be 100% sure i had everything i needed before i took a wrench to it. even still, i didn't discover the rear resi mount hardware was SAE, not metric. i had to poach some skid bolts to make do until i had it all back together and could drive to the hardware store.

Don't know if this crappy photo helps:

that's an interesting way to mount the rear reservoirs. (i don't mean that in an overly Eddie Haskell kind of way.) mine are tucked behind the rear quarter, mounted horizontally, with the end poking just out into the fender well. your CDC adjusters would still be super accessible in that position.
 
Found a good deal on an M&P 9 Shield for my lady an hour or so away, so picked that up

Make sure you plan many romantic dates to the range so she gets practice (both of the ladies!).
 
Haha, I knew someone would say something. I don't really even notice it anymore.
I might could live with it, if I changed out the LED for a red one, added an "UN" in front of "ECO" and maybe a pitchfork background to go along with my 10.2-14.3 (best) MPG calculation.
