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

smkymntn, yes the Y pipe deletes the two extra baffles and cleans up the bends from the stock y pipe. Seeing decent gains on power, throttle response, and mpg. Stay tuned for a detailed review on the URD Hardware my friend.

What is the load rating on those? and how do they ride? My ATPs are E rated and ride pretty stiff. I will have to research more on my next set. Definitely like the look of your tires more than mine. Tough lookin truck....TRDs don't hurt either!!

Thanks for the compliment sir! They are an "E" load range tire. They are VERY heavy and ride like a typical heavy, stiff sidewall tire. I really cant tell a huge amount of difference from my previous "C" range tires though.
 
Finally hit the 10k mark and decided to do my own oil change after reading about all the horror stories with dealerships forgetting to add oil.

Don't mind the dirty engine bay. Been having some fun recently :artist2:

Anyone have issues reading the dip stick? I put 6.5 quarts in and it reads high at times.

Nothing major, but I added Bosch Icon wipers to the truck (24A on Drivers side, 20B on Passenger side):

Update: While it may seam trivial, the Bosch Icon wipers are just amazing! Stock wiper were starting leave streaks and when you're in snow-country, that's not a good thing. :)

Update:
To find the proper part #'s, while in Phoenix I was in Walmart, used the windshield wiper catalog to look at other brands. The drivers side was always "24x" and passenger "20x"...so I took a chance that the Bosch Icon 24A and 20B would fit. I saved my receipt in the off-chance I was wrong. Fortunately, the 24A and 20B fit the drivers & passengers side just perfectly.

I'm writing a note to Bosch to let them know my findings so they can update their catalog. Who wouldn't want to have the very best of windshield wipers?

Clayed, polished, and waxed it - I hadn't done it in over a year. At least it gave me a chance to admire my pinstripes.:D

Agreed. I run the same wipers and they are badass. One complaint about the truck is that I can't find an aftermarket wiper blade for the rear. Was told by part store guy that it's because it's hidden up under the rear spoiler and Toyota doesn't want the consumer to be able to get to it and break it so the only replacement is OEM, which sucks balls.
 
Drove to get a few odds and ends needed, then organized everything in the garage for installing new gears and lockers this weekend.

It's the typical ECGS swap with 4.56s and ARB air lockers front and rear. I've never tackled anything this big solo. It's definitely intimidating so I'm planning to go slowly. The goal for Saturday will be to get everything disassembled, cleaned and prepped. Sunday will be for installation of the new clamshell, 3rd member and reassembly.

Wish me luck!!
