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

[RIC3BOY]

My 2011 LE turned 50,000KM.

I bet those shocks got a major workout being on the a$$ end of a trailer out past the wheels.

We took our 2015 TE camping over the weekend...

I built a parcel shelf for the back and used a 10sqft cargo box on the roof and was able to get:
3 adults
2 children
2 dogs (a lab and a hound dog)
2 tents
5 sleeping mats
5 sleeping bags
5 camp chairs
2 coolers
1 dutch oven
1 shovel
1 bag of charcoal
and a crap-ton of other crap into the truck.

:tea:

For the less than 50 miles it was on there, I'm sure they did.

That sounds like family trips when I was a kid. As a Mexican its not unheard of to fit 20 people in a station wagon.

So you will have to. I rub during flex and either need to do the bmc,which I won't do, so my second option is to use spacers and trim some plastic and hammer my pinch weld back 1/2". The BMC just has me so worried lol. ..but can't wait to see it in person!

I'm not rubbing the body mount, but I had to remove my factory mud flaps. I'm going to install some rally armor ones and see how that works out. Otherwise I just ditch the flaps completely.

I lost some MPG for sure with the new tires. Guess I just need to start farming baby dinosaurs to make my own gasoline.

Camped/fished all weekend next to the Middle Fork of the Stanislaus River. Photo of the river and my view for Sunday lunch on the way home.

:thumb3: Ha! I broke rule number one - pics or it didn't happen. I should lose my internet card.

I'm planning on putting some speaker box carpet on the shelf that I built from MDF so it looks better, and after I do that I'll take some pics :high5:

I didn't rub till i put my aftermarket bumper on and turned backing up/flexing it out. I barely hit it by like 1/8th maybe 1/4, but that doesn't bother me. I need to probably adjust my front coil overs again, but waiting till after my trip next week.

I pulled the flaps off and rolled over our high curb and didn't get any rubbing at full turn. But I'm using the stock front end bumper until I damage it enough to warrant going to a Demello front end.

I get the mudflaps on Wednesday and will install those and see how they do.

Other than that the tires have been great and the Icon Stage 5s are amazing.

After work, I went back through the field where I was last stuck. I avoided the mudhole which has tripped me up last time, and tried the easier route I had taken once pulled free. Too bad that route was so overgrown that I couldn't see the big sinkpit and associated 9ft drop which would have rolled the truck, so I turned around and found a safer way. Either way I still had fun with the angle it takes to clear this ravine near one of the hangars. Where I stopped for pics is mowed infrequently, the rest of the excursion had grasses and weeds above hood level. I also tried turning on A-Trac and locking the rear diff to see how it felt, more lights on my dash than I've every seen before! Still 3 miles to go in 4wd this month.

Also my 30 extra hp from the T4R.ORG stickers arrived thanks to [MENTION=165]momo.75[/MENTION]! It's too hot to install them right away, I'll have to wait for some cooler weather or when I'm bored at 2am.

But Honey... I *need* tires and a lift... It's a safety thing. ;-)

What's up with the Predator writing on your front plate?

Just curious if you go up that way often. If so what trails do you usually drive?

I head up to the Alpine area once a month and I've heard there are some really good trails further down near the Avery area.

Beautiful, do you mind sharing the location of where you camped exactly?
Coordinates, Google maps, link , anything

I'm up in this area all the time. There are fire trails all over. All pretty tame.

We stayed at Baker Campground in the Kennedy Meadows area.

The photo of the "lunch spot" was taken about 10 miles south of Pinecrest Lake on 108.

Finished up with the arse end. Added my reverse lights and jerrycan holder to the rear bumper. I added the spare tire cover a couple weeks ago to both keep the spare somewhat clean and to hide the fact that I haven't invested in a matching spare wheel.

I just finished putting the Canvasback Cargo Liners to add some protection to the cargo area.

Here are some pictures (before, after, and after with the 2nd row seats back up). With the flash and shadows, the third picture shows the crease quite prominently but they actually look better/ok under natural light (see picture 2). At this point I would say I am 9/10 satisfied with the product. Will see if it holds up well and is easy to clean/maintain.

Next up on the wish list: window tints and nerf bar/steps
