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

[Gabex35]

This was my setup & it didn't work exactly as I wanted it too lol. The extreme 350 was the only thing available at the time. The yeti 1250 had just been released shortly after.



-3 GZ extreme 350 power packs

-2 boulder 30 panels



So I had the 3 packs daisy chained to each other. The panels would only power the pack that started to lose some juice. The 350 came with an inverter, I realized that plugging the arb directly into the AC inverter would draw way too much power. Ditched the inverter and used the DC plug-in. This setup would work for most of the day, but when it got dark and the solar panels weren't charging anymore, the fridge would consume too much power at about 30 degrees constant. So when I woke up, all 3 batteries were dead & it took almost 12 hours to charge 1 battery with just solar. So it would just be an ongoing fail to charge all 3 batteries every day on the road and having enough power to keep the fridge running. Also the panels have to be in direct sunlight, if it's cloudy you're pretty much screwed.



The yeti 400 or 1250 might be a better choice. That or run a dual battery and you'll be golden.

Good info. Thanks!

Wow! Is all that corrosion & salt under there?

Lol, I was thinking the same thing . . . we obviously don't see that in Calif.

Looks like the location where they shot the TRD Pro 4Runner Ad. Looks fun.

Got hit at low speed by a young kid in mid-January, I've just get a new front bumper, inner fender, fogs and flasher replaced. It also removed all dings and scratches from trails me and previous owner have been.

That's nuthin! I was hit today by a lady that ran a red light while I was attempting a left hand turn... I don't have after pics just yet. :tsk:

5K Oil Change

Finally hit that first mark. Took it in for the 5K oil change, and the service guy was really impressed by my Metal Tech sliders. @LT

Put a Canvas Back liner in for my drooly hound dog puppy. Definitely recommend the product, perfect fit and all you have to do is velcro it right on. I'm sure he's just going to jump over the seat and try to get in my lap so we'll have to work on that.

Went to June Lake for the long weekend. Kinda late but here's a pic!

Hey Marco - What kind of window deflectors are you rocking? I like the way those are setup.

THanks!

Dirty Harry got a quick wash down, oil change, all fittings greased and a Weathertech cargo liner.

Ha yeah man. It's all salt. I spray it down religiously. It's awful up here in the Northeast. Be glad you're in So. Cal.

Thanks man... AVS slim edition. Got them from amazon! Make sure your fronts are tinted or they might look a bit off

Cleaned up my plasti dip lines on the part of the flares where they are molded to the bumpers. Decided to use some black silicone sealant to hopefully give me a tighter seal than the plasti dip. Since it's silicone it should be able to peel off with some effort just like the dip.

Before:

Taped off and spread the silicone with my pinky finger and smoothed out for a straight line:

After:

Installed the TRD grille last night and threw on the radiator cap while I had that damn radiator cover off, and added the oil cap as well. I'm really diggin' the look of it on my silver, looks totally different!
I also threw on some AVS window shades, just forgot to snap a pic of all that stuff; I'll take a few in the morning.

Installed Shrockwork armor and found out if you installed a diff drop you gotta modify the engine skid some...

Dipping continues. Got the front valance dipped.

Also managed to break the pin off of my spanner wrench for the BOSS kit trying to re-adjust my coilovers. Going to send ToyTec an email and see what they say.
