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

Went to install my LED license plate lights and realized the oem screws are rusted to hell and instantly stripped. Hate when something so simple doesn't go well.
 
Installed some Rigid Fogs and my SSS Slimeline bumper with a Warn Zeon 8-s. Other than fighting the weight of the bumper and winch it is a rather easy install as long as you have at least 2 people.

Like your rig man. I'm pretty sure your in Denver. I was working by you and saw it and was checking out if we had the same set up
 
Did a little TRD CAI install yesterday on my T4R.

Finally got my Christmas present installed with a little help from my brother.
20" LED light bar behind the grill. Though to be honest i think im gonna go ahead and cut out the grill and move it forward with some L Brackets.

Looks good. Did you install it with the included brackets or did you and your brother fab something up?

We actually drilled pilot holes straight into the aluminum and then used self tapping screws and used square spacers to get the height right. (used two quarter inch spacers)

against my wallets pleads for mercy, i placed a order for a gobi stealth. 40" ready with removable crossbars/full mesh and sunroof.

mostly will be used for hauling sandy beach items and freeing up more cargo space for the 2 GSDs. they pretty much own the territory behind the front seats

FYI: trail duty has a gobi deal running thru 1/31. $100 off, plus free fairing/ladder/shipping.
 
I think you just made my mind up on doing this...thanks.

Question, did you peel off the extra from around the emblems?

No Problem. It was super easy. Took about just over an hour which includes waiting time between coats. I waited about 10 min between each coat. Ive seen people normally do 5 coats, i just went ahead and did 6. There is no Plasti-Dip around that emblems. The coating around the emblems peel right off without peeling away at the emblem portion. Since the double sided tape used to put on the emblem creates a slight gap between the actual surface, the coating around the emblem peels right off and leaves only the portion you want unaffected. Hope that makes sense. Thats why my tape job around the chrome parts is not exact or straight. I just peeled off the parts surrounding the emblems.
 
your ECO light still shines. mine stopped. that little thing was annoying me.

Haha it is annoying but it reminds me that I'm driving sensible and getting better mpg. Actually made 20.64mpg on the tank before this one. I was happy since it was way better than the 14mpg I was getting in my FJ Cruiser haha.

I had to turn the eco light off as well. Gas mileage is of no concern in the T4R.
 
Turned my Eco light off. Haven't had a chance to play with the display settings yet. Easy enough. Kinda glad it kept the Eco bar on the display though.
