No problem Juan, It was a good time and nice to meet you. I wish I would not have been feeling so bad on Saturday... but I still had fun.
It was cool seeing so many built 5th gens running around. I was too zoned out to take any pictures though. I'm hoping [MENTION=100417]J Hoss[/MENTION] got some with his killer photo skills.

What a friggin idiot! :tape2:
Sorry- I just been waiting for an opportunity like this since you joined...
Sucks you had a bad day, sincerely!
Have to go back to get a better switch. They just duck taped the one that came with the lights.

I live in Raleigh now. LOVE it here. No more winters , and rain is the new snowpeople let you merge when you blink, and rush hour is ONE HOUR.
I'm from Raleigh, moved to Charlotte 6 yrs ago. Was back home last week and Downtown Raleigh was boomin. I was shocked. Can't believe they tried to charge me to park. Ended up 10 blocks away by the Marbles Museum.
Broke my new 4runner in along CA 395. We had a long Thursday to Monday weekend. Did some camping around Mammoth Lakes and backpacking near Tioga Pass. Put it in 4x4 for the first time exploring some random BLM road that went up to some aspen groves that are just starting to turn, got some nice new pinstripes while cruising along some high-desert roads around Mono Lake. The cargo area was perfect for all our gear and even sleeping in one night. I've never loved a vehicle this much.

Did the all important anti-glare vinyl hood mod, actually, this is my second time doing it. First time was a total eff up, this time was about the same, but made a little addition so there are no wrinkles - but there is a seam. :/
Found this stuff when I ordered the vinyl called "knife tape" made a really nice sharp line without putting a razor blade to the hood. Has a strand of kevlar under the green tape that cuts the vinyl.
The hood scoop is a son of a to wrap around, anyone that does this for a living - your job is safe. Cut down the center and then cut out a section and spliced another strip down the center, looks good enough.
Done, about to reinstall the hood scoop insert after a few coats of plastidip.
All Done! washed and blocking the glare!
Also bought a 20" LED bar to put behind the grill, need to make up a bracket - that'll probably take me forever. These bad boys have a lifetime warranty and a real good price for some solid output.

I used a heat gun sporadically, mostly pushing the vinyl into the hood scoop space. I tried to watch as many youtube videos relevant to the hood scoop, but as I may have grown up in this technology infused world, I'm fairly inept in my search fu.
One of my jobs many years ago had me putting on a lot of vinyl stickers and decals, for this go around I used a bit of soapy water like i would with the stickers to assist in the application this time. Helped, but I'd rather sand rough wood smooth for a few hours than wrap my hood again.

Finally got the Canvasback cargo liner in. It's far superior to the WeatherTech liner. The only drawback is stuff does slide around on it, but I can live with that. Had a wet and muddy mountain bike back there, and it all just wiped right off with a wet rag. Came with Velcro along the edges, so it's super easy to put in. Fits great too!

I really like this as well as your fire extinguisher location. Going to look into something similar.
