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

^ I like it! where from?

I went to www.carstickers.com and chose to make a custom sticker using their clipart and text available.

You can choose from a variety of mountains and text amongst many other things. I think it was around $12 shipped. Very high quality vinyl sticker - One of the easiest to apply. Would definitely do it again - wish I went slightly bigger though.
 
Well, it wasn't exactly today or this past weekend, more like almost two months ago, but just got the picture today.

I backed it into the wall and scraped the left corner of the rear bumper pretty good... I was parallel parking into an odd spot in the parking garage at work, it was on the corner along a 45 degree wall. Stupid mistake, but it could have been so much worse, at least it is just the bumper. When I caught it looking at my driver side mirror the taillight looked like it was touching.

Now I need to decide if I want to paint it myself, I think this will cost me a couple hundred in materials or get some estimates...
 
Forgot I had a pair of shears in my back pocket when I sat down in the driver seat. Now I have a nice little hole in the seat bottom.
 
Brought home the tree yesterday, Costco FTW! Had little LLama "helping" me :D

And last week putting up the Christmas lights!

Reason 105 for getting a lift

Went and got my 35k oil change (1300 miles late) and picked some touch up paint from the dealer (not bad at ~$10). Then had lunch with a friend (hopefully not friendzoned) and drove across the parking lot to Firestone and bought their lifetime alignment. After Firestone the ride felt weird, sluggish, louder, and mushy. I checked the air pressure, they deflated my tires down to 32psi, WTF? Stopped at a local tire dealer to have them aired back up because I didn't feel like digging out my air compressor.
When I got home I strung an extension cord from the inverter up to near the top of the hatch and zip-tied some Christmas lights to the roof rack. If you do this, I suggest using something significantly shorter than 50ft! It was just the first strand I grabbed.
 
Also added the blacked out lettering from NoxLux. Pretty expensive for what it is. I really went back and forth on painting what I have vs this kit. Ultimately, I thought the time savings was a benefit. They have a nice product. I'm a bit skeptical about the long life of these, I feel they may not last. But we'll see.


That "O" on the back has got to be a least 100 HP gain! But as you can tell by the handle, I may be biased! GO DUCKS!!
 
Picked up some TREDPros on their Kickstarter campaign (which has 34 hours left at the time of this posting). Looking forward to having them sometime next year. Early present to me.
 
Loaded up a bunch of old bike stuff to donate to a non-profit that uses old bikes and bike parts to provide functioning rides for less-fortunate kids and adults. The person receiving the bike essentially builds their own bike out of the donated parts and frames with help from the staff. Kind of a cool concept! They learn how it works and how it needs to be maintained in the process.

I got around to installing my RAM mount. Inspired by [MENTION=112895]balistikboy[/MENTION] 's placement and help! No shaking with the iPad mini, and it lets me keep my cup holders functional. Testing it around Tahoe this weekend trying to find any National Forest service road with an open gate!

Can you tell me which Ram Parts you used? I'm inspired by the ipad mini idea more than the iphone and am buying myself and early Christmas present.
 
Test fitted one 1.25" Spidertrax, but as expected there is some rubbing. :roadkill:

On a good note the stance looks awesome. :thumb: Now I just have to find the time to push the front liner up and do some trimming on the back liner.

My full set of 5100's came in today from [MENTION=120150]TotalAutomotiveLV[/MENTION] . And the guys over at cornfed suspension were nice enough to let me swap out my unused 1" rear spacers for 1.5" so I can jack it up to the 2.5" setting in the front!! Can't wait to put on some 285's and have it level!!!
