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

[Antman]

Personally a huge fan of the Exige (I know its not an Exige) coming from a supercharged Miata.......maybe for my mid life crisis. They seem to devalue fairly fast (unlike the 4runner!)

Why are your headlights so perfectly clean?

You engineers are so friggin' wierd.:nerd:

Yea its outrageous here for some reason... nfi why labor costs so much? Did you use XPEL or 3M?



yes it does have some tint from the factory but I added more to make it a bit darker. Loving the look!

I had XPEL on it. Still looked great after 2 years when I traded it in.

Took out the 4Runner out to Greenwater, Washington for our annual July 4th Asian Shoot Fest.

Don't mind that useless mossberg "chainsaw". haha

Rather than take I70 for a 3 hour drive (normally an hour) I told the wife we should head over Georgia pass. It's fairly easy except for one small section near the top, she wasn't excited about it but agreed. Several comments along the way, I was happy when I passed an H1 and full size lifted pick up that didn't seem to know where they were going and knowing it was going to be tight for them (4Runners rule!).

Peaked out just in time to see these guys hanging out, the wife says "Wow this was so worth it, sorry I complained about coming this way" Total commute still 3 hours, including the 30 mins watching these guys and the kids eating yogurt at the top, stress levels.. mostly nonexistent.

It's not [MENTION=66300]Intruder[/MENTION] quality, but hey it's an iPhone...

Breaking in the 4x4

Durty lil sister has the duties of bringing home the the new shoes for the TEP. Took a quick shot for comparison even though worn, 285km2 beside the new ST Maxx 285s, aggressive for ATS. If I'm happy with them I'll probably do 315s on FJ since she's due soon

Kill the chrome!

Looks good... almost as good as your photo taking pose... :hail:

I had a feeling I was going to hear about that little pose I got going on.

Just ordered a fridge for the 4runner. Can't wait to get it in and try it out.

You should be sure to run a seperate line for it.

Medano pass and Great Sand Dunes

Got my front skid beat up crossing a muddy section that had blocked off the Medano Pass Primitive road for about 5 days. It reopened a day before we showed up.

Since this was my first real "off road" attempt in the 4Runner, I almost decided to not do it.

Here are the results

Here is the damaged bit (Anyone notice the mount point of the swaybar does it look damaged?)

Greased my uca bushings.. Ahhh no more squishie squeekies

Went with the Indel-B 50L. I have heard good things about them, we will see how it works out.

Sorry... I had to! :fear:

Here is the damaged bit (Anyone notice the mount point of the swaybar does it look damaged?)

From this picture it looks like you bashed your skid, protecting the kdss piston like it's supposed to. The sway bar mount on the lower control arm looks brand new. I'd order an aftermarket front skid, they're heavier duty and hold up better.

Amazing photos

Thanks! The entire NM/CO area we covered is absolutely beautiful.

With regards to the damage, I was referencing this bit here (will try to get better pictures later once we are back home).
