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

Took a mini road trip over to Utah - Zion and Moab - from Wednesday to Sunday. First place in Zion was amazing with a really fun trail to get to a plateau to camp on. Most of the days were spent hiking so I seem to only have night shots. Enjoy.

Gooseberry Mesa? That place is awesome. It's a great place to go to get away from the crowded, touristy-feeling campground in Zion (but you're still close). Great, but very technical mountain biking too.

Close to Gooseberry, it actually may be it. This was off of Smithsonian Butte Road over near rockville. I will have to take my mountain bike next time.
 
Do those side steps get hung up on rocks? They look as strong as sliders but just wondering. I want sliders but my 5'1" wife would prefer me to have some type of step. Thanks!

Those are n-fab steps.... they mount to the body and NOT to the frame.... they are "steps".... ABSOLUTELY NOT a slide, and do not try to use it as one....
[MENTION=90288]boyfester[/MENTION] , if your family needs a step and a slider.... look into Shrockworks Slider with Thread Plate.... works perfectly as a step...

I have never used my truck for driving over boulders but do take it through various logging, primitive roads and dirt mounds. I get the front skid plate and rear hitch & bumper riding against the surface more than having anything touch the nerf bars.

They are not as strong as sliders The bottom of mine are 14 inches above the ground on my stock TE with oem tires. I think other things will hit first. I have dinged my skids and not hit the steps yet.
 
Put all the windows down including the rear glass, opened the sunroof and drove home in the 90 degree south Louisiana heat in my T4R...
Oh, my side exhaust mod worked like a charm, no exhaust smell!

Lovin' it! :p

If you are going to take pictures that good you should start a build/picture thread.

Added Shrockworks front and rear

Over the weekend (Friday afternoon to Sunday evening!!!) I installed the Shrockworks front and rear bumpers on my 14' Trail with an Engo 10,000lb winch in front. I am very happy with them but the install wasn't without its hiccups (to be kind). Overall the process was smooth, but had to make a few trips to Home Depot for hardware that was not included. Still need to install a replacement backup camera and the reverse lights in the bumper housings.

Loaded the wife and 3-week old baby girl up in our 4Runna and headed out to the Barton Creek green belt. We finally got to test the new $550 BOB jogging/trail stroller...BADASS, and worth every penny!

lol Independent suspension and trail tires, needless to say my daughter is going to be a trail head :)

I was thinking about heading out there Saturday but decided to go trail riding. Should have went to Barton cause I sliced my ankle while on the trail...
 
Road trip to CVT in Bend

Departed the home lodge at o'dark thirty and even with a quick stop at the Madras Air Museum was at the CVT back door in Bend when they opened. Toured the showroom and help Robert install my new CVT awning, then hit Camp Sherman for lunch and some fishing. 100 degrees and Green Drakes were popping! Home late to scrape off the bugs and flush the red dust out of everything...

Looks good!

How was the rear bumper install? I ordered mine in the last group by, should be getting it sometime in July

Thanks man, it was pretty straight forward. Did you get the swingarm? If so, when you route the Lite Plate license plate lights to your tail light, the green LP light wire splices into the green tail light wire and the black LP wire splices into the black/white striped tail light wire - I couldn't find that anywhere on the net. If you are decently handy, you shouldn't have any problems with the install. Some of the stick nuts can be tricky, but be patient and you'll get em. Also, make sure ALL hardware is present and accounted for - not by looking at the front sheet of the instructions, but by reading through them. I had to buy about $30 worth of hardware for the front and rear, luckily HD is close by. PM me if you have any other questions and I'll be glad to try and help.
