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

I took the truck into work today. Vacuumed and cleaned out the interior. I took the TPMS sensors out of my factory 20" wheels/ Blizzak DM-V1
snow setup and balanced them with rubber stems (TPMS sensors are going in the new non-snow tire setup). Greased all the drive shaft fittings.
Wheel alignment (wanted to mount the heads to stock wheels instead of the new ones). And I was planning on changing the fluid in all the diffs,
the crush washers for the plugs showed up but the fluid did not yet.
 
Placed my order yesterday for the 6112's, 5160's, Billet Bilstein Clamps & some ProComp Shock Boots!
Also got thes goodies for the install as well from my local Toy Parts guru at a phenomenal price!

That looks like you have all the pieces needed to complete the shocks... Nice work!
 
Installed some Shrockworks sliders and wheel spacers today. First mods of the new truck

Looks great, reminds me I need to order some Trail rocker panels as my shrock works sliders should be in soon.

Were you in on the early December group buy by chance?

I added grab handles to my headrests for my kids today, no basket weaving skills like [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] so I just bought them.
 
Bought angle grinder and went to work on the body mounts. This was needed since I added Spidertrax spacers. Never used an angle grinder before, but wasn't bad at all.

Changed the freaking oil and found two stripped bolts - one that holds the skid plate on, one that holds the plastic fairing to the front skid plate. Time to pull out the tap kit.
 
Any chance you have photos comparing this blue to the blue of the OEM switches. I love my white OTRATTW swiches in the center consul but I will run out and therese I think might look more intergrated when next to the factory switches i nthe blanks to the drivers left knee

Here I hope this helps somewhat. Cell pic but you get the idea.

Thanks. I was not part of the group buy. Ordered these a few months ago. Pretty sure I was on the phone with SW 2 or 3 days after I bought the truck.
 
hooked up my AOB switches to my light bars thanks [MENTION=103267]Saker[/MENTION] for a great right up!

Took of the exhaust from the Y-pipe back to see what the 4runner would sound like straight piped and took it for a test drive.
