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

Got the heat gun out today and fixed this eye sore. It wasn't bent real bad but it was kinked on the flat under the tail gate, which pushed the whole seam out. Slow, even heat and pressure in the right spot works great!
Clips and bumper weren't cooperating (clips snapped or bumper tabs cracked) so I cheated a little with the screw under the tail light assy.
Came out ok. Garbage can looks good in the reflection. Need to get better at taking pics. Oh and I put my new Weather Techs in as well [MENTION=122940]ramonortiz55[/MENTION], Thanks for the GB!!

Not actually in my 4Runner, but I wanted to test out my new stove before camping this weekend. This is the kind of stuff that happens when you live in a city.

[MENTION=130900]Tuckenstein[/MENTION] how do you like that stove? Do both burners work equally well and can both be controlled at a low simmer?
 
Put the roof top tent on Riley last night and packed up my gear. Gonna head down to the SFWDA meet and ride in Alabama today.

Hooked my boat up to the new 4Runner for the first time. Towing was about the same as my 4th Gen, although the backup camera added a nice touch.

Do you deliver?

No, but I can gladly post pics of the results...

Thanksgiving is the big day, I'll be adding stuffing in the middle of the breast before I smoke it and adding a cranberry/brown sugar glaze over the bacon weave on the last couple hours..

Here's my brisket from last month, traditional Texas BBQ style..

Looks freaking delicious man!
 
Pics! I'd really love to know how this turns out.
I'm still balked by this end cap thing, too. What I sent you is everything that was between the fenders/mud flaps.

Its the plastic caps that connect and continue on from the fender. I should get these on this weekend. :reddance:
 
Rock hit my wind deflector so I get to make a new one and a DIY yay go me

Rock smacked exactly where I had my zip tie and apparently I tightened it to much literally popped off and snapped the wind deflector. Plasti dip does not protect everything just FYI ha

I will be using bolts and pipe conduit hangers this time to hopefully relieve some stress off the defector???? Good thing it wasn't my windshield.....
 
Wanted to put a winter coat of wax on while the weather is still decent, especially before an upcoming cross country drive from DC to Portland. Hate not having a garage or driveway, had to hose it off at the quarter car wash before taking it to a hand wash place because I felt bad dropping it off covered in mud that smelled like boiled turds. The dude spent two hours on it and made me remember why I love this color! Waxed it myself afterwards and found a lot of battle scars I didn't realize I had inflicted on the watercolor-thick paint. (Yes I know tire shine is the devil).
