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

All loaded up and heading out near Yosemite with my 8-year old for some camping and fishing. Opening weekend of trout season! Forecast is rain all day tomorrow. The fish don't care so why should we?
 
Looks like my Saturday is going to be busy installing CBI swingout bumper

nice upgrade.

yeah have been seriously looking at ultra lite's. but the problem I have is I need it to be 17 ft or less in length so I can fit it in the garage for winter.

also must have a pot/shower.

not much in under 20k price range for the features unless I step up to an airstream for 42k, yikes.
 
Today must be bolt on Slider Day

Earlier this week I rented this red SR5 in Salt Lake for a business trip and ran up Farmington Canyon.

Then I came home to Denver and finalized my negotiations on a white trail premium.

I signed my life away and sat in it for the 1st time. Full on member of the team now! Picked up a 2015 silver Trail w/ KDSS, Nav, Remote start and clear bra. I was a dealer car that I got a good deal on. I was looking for a Trail premium but quickly realized I didn't have it in me to wait 12 weeks and pay a ton more. Only thing I missed out on was the moon roof. I will live happily without it.

Sweet another bay area owner. Welcome to the club!
 
Rear Cargo D-Rings

Started the day with a quick 15-minute mod. Added d-rings to the rear cargo area for more versatile storage options using carabineers, etc. I ordered the d-rings from Camelbacks parts. They are part #58460-35012 and called the luggage striker assembly. I believe they are meant for an FJ. I decided to leave the plastic hook up, mainly as a cover for an area that otherwise would have been exposed if I would have just installed the d-rings. I had to use a dremel with a metal cutter to trim the edge of the metal backing on the d-rings in order to get the plastic hook to fit back over. The d-rings are rock solid and I feel comfortable with them supporting a fair amount of weight/tension. Small project, but it made me happy.

Also mounted my axe and hand-saw to the underside of my leveling board in the rear.

Nice New Shoes

Just got back from Barbers Motorsports Park watching a little Indy Car and GT racing stuff. The first little trip with the new BFG KO2's that were put on early this morning. These things are really all that and a ham sandwich. Very nice highway manners. My stock Nitto's only had over 5000 miles on them and they are nice but the BFG's really seem all around better in every respect. I know some of this may be butt dyno stuff because they are new but I'm sold. I ran Revo and Revo 2's on my Tacoma for years and wish now that I would have tried the KO's.
For those that have run the original KO's and now the KO2's can you tell a big difference in anything? Just curious.
