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

This weeks booked all ready and M-day this weekend. I have a mechanic that will do it tomorrow... hmmm... wait 2 weeks or just Git 'er Dun...

I think you are gonna be very ass high with 2" rear coils, you might want to go with the #4 setting up front.... oh and Git R Done!
 
I agree with the [MENTION=123978]4Surfin[/MENTION] you either need a heavy load in the rear or have to really want some serious rake unless you adjust those fronts higher. [MENTION=117446]CSix[/MENTION]
 
Decided to kill 2 birds with one stone... took the girls to the park for some bike riding/scooter scootin' .

While they had fun I clay-barred the entire truck and threw on some Turtle Wax ICE liquid wax. I know it's cheating- I have all the good stuff at home but hey, this stuff can be applied in the sun- over all the black trim and it shines like all hell. Guess I'm, getting older and smarter, lol. Hid most of The Cove scratches- and there are A LOT of them.:bounce:

The girls get more use of the storage area than me too- ha!

I have the exact same setup and my ass end sits higher about an inch. Before the SSS bumper and winch, I was about 1/2-3/4 rear end high. But mine should level out once I get a rear bumper and add an extra tire along with some cargo stuff.
 
ugh just looking at the way they are sleeping just send my muscles into Charlie horse spasms.

to be young and sleep weird positions. I remember those days when I would sleep in the back seat while dad drove 900 miles to Detroit for xmas with grandma from Georgia.

stuff some pillows in the seats to make that hump not hurt so much.

You Failed, while the 4runner took up 4 spaces you choose to allow your daughters to place their stuff in 3 spaces, almost a win except that 2 of those spaces were already occupied by the 4runner so instead of occupying 7 spaces you only occupied 5 with 1 vehicle............you can do better :whipping2:

P.S. It looks like fun and a good use of time (spending it with family while getting work done!)
 
Went to Moab for the weekend and ran a couple trails.

Tuesday

Did my own tire rotation today, checked shocks, bushings etc while tires were out of the way. Checked tires for damage after last few off-road trips. 32K miles and the brake pads all looked very good.

After getting dirty and tired, did something easier. Loaded Techstream and set my windows and moon-roof to open with the key fob. Saw entries for tire transmitter code numbers and pressure for each tire. Too bad Toyota did not make the pressure available on the Nav screen.

Actually, it did not come out that bad. It kept the stock rake but 2 inches higher. Now, I may change it to the 4th... I will also be loading up with gear and hitting some trails...

Yeah I need to up my techstream game so I can do these type of things. Hopefully it's not too hard to get up and running, from a casual search it seems like the hardest part is finding an OS old enough to run it.

yeah shouldn't be hard to add this, I mean come on, my sons 2015.5 camry has this in the multi display inbetween the speedo and rpm dial.
 
A whole caravan of Nor Cal guys are going there at the end of the month. How much Is it roughly for gas round trip?

Left SAC full to I-80 to Fernley then cut over to Highway 50. Stopped in Fallon, NV, Eureka, NV, Delta, UT and Moab, UT for fuel. The 4 fill-ups were about $160. Gas in Moab was at $2.74 per gallon.
