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

Got the hookup with some 265 70 17 Duratrac's on 17x8 -10 Level 8 MK6's...awesome tire, had minor, minor rubbing on right side flap, so removed both. These are P metric I know but there are literally no offroad trails here and this is my DD...very faint but pleasant hum at varying speeds, they balanced out perfectly.

very nice looking rig, I have been debating the duratracs vs destination MT.
 
Finished making a bracket and testing fitting an auxiliary power distribution fuse box. This is based on writeups from both [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] and [MENTION=55815]Okki[/MENTION]

Friday

Saw this yesterday, cable access road in Nevada above the river, water damage that looks like it could trap a 4Runner.

Got my T4R back from my Detail go-to guy and took my wife out for her birthday!

Clayed it, paint correction and ceramic coating.....
He makes a black vehicle look like a wet mirror!

Enjoy

Holy bajeezus! That is one hell of a detail job on black paint IMO. Hats off to your detailer...

Front window tinted?
 
What wiring kit did u use?

It's a BOSS Audio Systems KIT2 (8 gauge) and the Blue Sea Systems 6 circuit fuse block. The wire kit probably isn't ideal as 8 gauge is too small to fully utilize the the fuse block, but I only plan to add a small compressor and possibly some lights so I don't need all 100amps. The kit came with a 50amp fuse. It seemed cheaper to get the kit than to pick up the parts individually. I'm using some of the wire, the fuse holder and fuse, a couple of the terminals, and the wire loom. There's lots of extra wire in the kit.

Thank you sir!

No tint on front window, except for the band across the top..... even with my tint exemption sticker in LA it is still not allowed any further down than that.

wonder if its ok to use a 80amp fuse or just step up and get one that has a 100amp or 150 amp fuse.
 
Got this same lift sitting in the living room. More pics!

Got caught up working and forgot to get pics along the way. That and we needed 4 hands for a lot of the work. Piece of cake once you figure it out... except for the KDSS, kind of a pain.

You want to make sure the fuse protects everything else so it should be rated for less than anything else in the circuit. In my case, the fuse block is only rated for 100amps so a 100amp fuse would be max otherwise the fuse block could fail before the fuse. Also the wire gauge will determine fuse size. I think 8 gauge wire is only rated for 50 amps. For 100amps 6 or 4 gauge wire would be needed.

If you look for a kit that has 6 gauge wire, it would probably come with a higher rated fuse.
