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

Escaped the downpour on the west side again and hit the Deschutes. Not a soul on the lower river, and not a fish to be found. No worries, just glad to be out getting dusty. Big storm on the way home rinsed it all off so I will have to go back this weekend...

Sweet rod mount. Love it! Fish or not. Any day fishing is better than not fishing!
 
OregonTrailRunner,
Looks like a great escape! Your 4Runner is set up great, I still need to swing by and meet you at your shop, my leg is finally healing up after a second repair surgery and I'm finally getting out and around. Definitely need to to get set up for some of that Deschutes Steelie fishing you are doing there! How's the fishing?

Fishing is always good...it's that catch'n thing that sometimes is the issue. The D should fish good for a couple more weeks...Bummer on the leg surgery, I go in for a redo on my hand in December. Fishing hard until they drag me off to surgery... Stop in some Saturday, we have homemade cookies then.

Magnetic mount from Tight Lines out of OK, one of my best sellers at $119. Works great, but not at speeds over 60. Especially with 6 Spey rods. My buddy dumped the works last year doing 70 with the boat behind. I came around the corner to see $5000 worth of my rods and reels in the middle of the highway and him waving his arms at an oncoming dump truck. Escaped with one broken tip and road rash on three reels (in their cases). He faired about the same. Just stuff. Makes for a great story when he starts getting out of hand. Pretty sure he won't to that again.

I'll remember the cookies on Saturday! Heading down to Eugene early to catch Oregon vs USC so I will not make it. Soon though!
 
Today I installed my Weathertechs! Also made a Staples business run. Haha. Still under 1000 miles on her. Looking forward to the winter as well as camping season shortly after!
 
I finished installing the Demello rock sliders. I painted them with bed liner spray. It has a nice texture and should be more durable than regular paint.

Got my SRQ2s wired up. They really set the bumper off I think.
The Rigid switch works great, but with my chosen location on the dash those little bastards are pretty damn bright at night and definitely distracting. So I sanded them down a bit and sprayed on some nite shades spray on tint. Worked like a charm and now they're not near as hard on the eyes.

FYI - just ordered a set of 5100s off of jet.com for $277 shipped. no membership fee, no apparent strings. quadruple checked part numbers. we'll see what happens.
 
Ordered more parts from Camelback Toyota... I should just switch my direct deposit so my paycheck goes directly to them! :lasercannon:
 
There she sits...

in all her glory.....


BIL called and said he saw a car carrier getting off I-84 and heading north on RT 9 towards the dealership, so I had to go up that way to get a haircut, and low and behold when I got to the place, she was already in the lot.

The sales dude that sold me the truck is off today, so I'll probably talk to him in the a.m....and drop off the KO2's to get mounted tomorrow, and pick it up on Sunday. Filled out some paperwork while I was there though.

more to come...a clean slate!
