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

I like the way you mounted those, is that a custom mount or from Rigid?
Thanks . Meant to do this sorry

Thanks, and to answer your question no custom mount. Just used what was supplied, drilled some holes for the bolts to run thru the bumper, and added a bigger washer to hold against bumper. I also had to dremel some of the stock grill in order for the D2's not to hit against it. Hope this helps!
 
well then you have plenty of time to get that fixed

yeah, but I cant let it just sit. annoys me to see it now.

did a quick price lookup on replacing the rear spoiler, just in parts I am looking at $4-500 dollars not including labor and paint.

gonna hit the body shop today to get an estimate on fixing it.

price of just repainting it and for replacing it (don't know if any internal damage was done, cant tell).

then hit the door repair place and see what they are gonna charge me for trying to fix the panel or replace the one I bowed out.
 
so anyone have any input on if I can get this buffed and repainted or do I need to replace the rear spoiler since its plastic?

the left side that is scraped does seems a tad bit loose compared to the right side, but its still solid.


.

looks like most of it will buff right out. I wouldn't bother with repaint or replace, you can't see the damage unless you were standing on top of the truck.
 
Got my new wheels wrapped and on the truck today. Here are some quick cell phone shots. I'll try to get some better pics this week.

Probably in my head but these wheels and tires make it feel nice and trucky!

Simon - what color did you used ?
It's Plastic Dip Smoke.
No need to remove anything, just mask everything else off, and spray as many coats as you like until you get the darkness you're looking for. I sprayed 7 coats. It's a clear plasti dip color, so it ends up looking perfect with the chrome under it.

I'd be doing swing out for the express purpose of being able to mount a fullsize 33" spare tire.

I'm a little concerned about losing the rear view camera. So that may become a new project, i.e to buy a second OEM camera, and wire it into the system.

I also heard from CBI that they have found the swing out table doesn't play too nicely with the Gobi Ladder, so I may just avoid the table, and get a single jerry can holder.
[MENTION=54404]jbstrd[/MENTION] thanks, I'm not sure who will do the install. I may be ordering via 99 West Trailers, and having them do the install. Does everything lock up nice and tight on your rear bumper? I just don't want to cut the bumper off and have any thing that wiggles around when off road.
 
traded in my 15' limited for a 15' limited

I've had my white with Sand 15'Limited 3rd row seating 4runner since Nov 14'. I love the truck but I really wanted the Nautical Blue with the Redwood and no third row seating. I pulled the trigger this weekend and traded the white one for a blue one exactly how I wanted it. Its still on the boat coming over.
