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

Blacked out emblem

Completed my first mod, plastidip the front emblem.

I put Fuel Boost rims and Toyo A/T II tires on it when we first got it in November. Immediately after, it developed a shimmy at about 40 MPH. Took it back to be rebalanced and that didn't fix it. Finally got it fixed when they put a new set of Toyos on.

Tinted the front windows to match the rest yesterday. Will be ordering N-Fab steps next week. Would like to level it and add remote start.

I like that! Might have to copy!
 
I spent the afternoon and most of the evening installing the lift I bough on cyber Monday. My back and knees/legs are killing me.
 
Siped my tires. Not fun.

Had planned on picking up some winter tires, but with how mild this winter has been, figured I could keep the MTRs with some siping. With my luck, temps will now drop to below freezing for the next 4 months and there will be weekly blizzards.
 
Messed around with the stereo system a little more today. Added the EQL and tidied up some wires. This is temporary until I am able to build a new box this Spring.

Bike still fits!

Hope you are right for the sake of my skiing, could use more snow.

I rinsed off my truck and cleaned out the inside and put the new Husky liners in. Found two rust spots on the liftgate, bummer.
 
Followed Okki's write up and did the rear breather extension. Rather than buy a new filter, I used the one from the diff. You can probably use thinner diameter fuel line (I went with 3/8"). 12mm removes OEM breather, 14mm for the replacement union.
 
I knew you'd squeak that bike in there! Looking good, Lowcel :D

Thank you. Next step is some sound deadening to the front doors. Hopefully that will help with the doors and the door handles rattling. After that I'll move on to the hatch area and go from there.
 
Dabbled with Plasti Dip some today.

Diff vent

You may want to get an ARB filter or front diff vent. The original rear vent is a one way valve and can cause a negative pressure in the rear diff.
 
Weather Tech cargo liner added today. Too much slip sliding back there and stuff would fall out when I opened the hatch.

Also added a Portugal country code decal to pay homage to my Portuguese heritage. The other decal is a Washington state zombie hunting permit. ;)

Thanks for the tip. Read about the front diff breather on TW and ordered part 90830-03136, which appears to be a true breather, and not just a vent. Mad now that I didn't know about this, as I ended up buying the breather from the same place I bought the union! Damn you double shipping!!
