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

put a fat chick in the back, that will level out the stance

You need to bump front CO up to 1.75 if you add the 2" super flex springs. Stinkbug will go away. EDIT: n/m are your 5100 and spring combo adjustable? If not I see your using a ome heavier spring. Just try bumping the 5100 up one notch. Pain to do though if not adjustable CO.

Yeah. I bumped the fronts down from 1.75" to the 0 notch when I had the OME's installed to offset the weight of the front bumper/winch, but that barely had enough added weight to drop them down to 2" of lift. I may look into bumping the front to the 0.85 notch, but it will wait a while. And if I do that i will be very close to needing to do a diff drop. I still have to put my couple hundred pounds of work gear back in the cargo area. I'm hoping that will settle it back down at least a little.

She probably has the original factory rake back, but I am so used to my slight reverse rake it is just disorienting to me.

I was thinking about filling the spare with water. Lol

Yeah, our windchill was -35 to -40 this morning.

Yupp, I got -13 in Edina last night, my milage is 13.8 at the moment

I'm at 3" up front and no diff drop fwiw. I know some people run the diff drop but it makes nearly no difference to the CV angles.

pfft, we've been avg around -9F ambient, -25F+ wind chill.

Pfft to your Pfft.

[MENTION=78909]alexb[/MENTION] here is the one I bought. The switches popped right in. I spent a good amount of time cleaning up the wiring so it wasn't so bulk otherwise it was not too bad of an install and they do get hot!!

Pfft to your Pfft.

Drove to Santa Cruz today. It was a balmy 74 degrees. Sorry......

 

[fatbacks]

Since we are talking temperature....

Yesterday morning was chilly. I think it was colder, but the thermometer in the truck only goes to -40. Was getting 15.1 mpg mostly highway.

Added a chrome exhaust tip and posted about it on the "Exhaust Tip Installed" thread……I tried installing this outside this morning. It's just a five minute job…right. Unlike the 74F at sunny Santa Cruz it was -5F windchill with wind blown snow but it was sunny. The tip didn't seem to fit properly so I took it to a heated garage put the vehicle on the ramp and fitted the tip in 5 minutes.

New guy here. All I did yesterday was clean the snot out of it after a trip north for some snow fun. Glad I had the Katzkin Leather put in. It's so easy to keep clean and always looks cleaner. Had cloth in my Highlander and it got dirty so quick.

Yup, thats a bit 'chilly'. Honestly once it goes negative I don't feel much difference if its -5 or -30. Maybe because I'm not spending much time outside either way.

I was pleased with the ebay ones. They shipped immediately and had free 2 day shipping from Cali. Just as good as Amazon Prime.

Not to be intrusive, but how much did the leather install cost (looks good)?

1700 all seats, including third row. Installed. Don't regret it for a minute. Love the way it turned out.

Is that with the heated seat option?

Joined the lightbar club.

20" Aurora

It was easier to take the whole front-end off than to shortcut it by only working from behind the grille. Tapped threaded holes into the crash bar, used washers as spacers for the lightbar mounts and did the electrical. It's solid! Testing it out soon.

Oh no. I'm in AZ. No heated seats for me. I wish they had cooled seats hahaha. Just standard seats with all power driver seat.
