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

Tahoe, CA

Took it up for day trip to Tahoe, CA.
Went to Bijou Park, Heavenly Village, 4 wheels barely left pavement, but fun nonetheless!
And as an added bonus, I saw twin of mine, except on Toyos at Heavenly Village Raley's

 
Installed a 32" light bar in the grille powered up with an Air on Board switch. This should hold my light addiction off until my Gobi comes in, then all hell breaks loose. I already moved the AC converter and wiper heater switches out of the way for the next 3-4 Air on board light switches that will control the lights on the Gobi.

Heads up to anyone looking to relocate the factory switches, they are able to be moved between the different pop outs of you are ok filing them down a bit. Nothing drastic.

The first Christmas tree of hopefully many, many Christmas trees got tied to the roof this weekend.

Found a nearby trail...drove around for a bit... on the way out started sliding into the big puddle I was trying to avoid...decided to commit while I still had momentum...fail!

Had to call a friend with a Hummer H2 for a pull...two seconds after shackles and tow strap attached was out and ready to go.

Two lessons learned...again...1) don't wheel alone 2) It's OK to stop and turn around to find another path

Still had a blast though and friend in the H2 is proud of the mud on his rig now!

theres still time to get a set of TREDPro Recovery tracks. Maybe would have helped, maybe not. but at least you could have tried and let us know how they worked out for ya. :yo:

Tred recovery - better than a group buy!
 
Finally got around to pushing the fender liners in / trimming slightly to eliminate full lock reverse rubbing. Easy. The liner is made of cheese and cuts with a razor knife.

No more rubbing! I can back up without having to grit my teeth now.

Funny you should mention that...I did "kickstart" a set of 4 TRED Pro's just a few days before having gotten stuck.

I wish I had had them for that. I'm sure they would have helped! :frusty:

Doesn't look like those will get in until March or April of 2016, at least as I understand the anticipated ship dates on the kickstarter site.
