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

Sweet, love the setup! Now all you need is a GOBI Roof Rack and a Black Oak LED Light Bar!

Intalled Bilsteins, daystar spacer and 285s.

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.

How often do you use it? I used mine once to make sure it worked.
 
Finally got TRS HIDs and Philips LED fogs to work without issue.
Really wish I could start a new thread as I've had quite the experience with both... But apparently I don't have enough replies yet!

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!!
You are bold man! If you cruise through it I will feel bad that I spent about $1,500 in labor having someone else do the work. Best of luck and update us!

Thanks! We'll see how it goes :-). There are a couple of really good write ups over on the FJ forum. It also helps that one of my wheeling buddies [MENTION=106176]wfo9[/MENTION] did it solo himself. He's answered all the questions I've had so I'm feeling what I'll call "cautiously optimistic" at this point.

I'll take pics of anything that might need to be clarified from the other write ups out there.
 
Hey [MENTION=133091]ae82gtm[/MENTION], sweet Pro you got there! I was wondering if you installed these Philips Golden Yellow 2700k LED for your fog lights? If so, what size did you use?

These came in today just in time for our snow wheeling trip tomorrow morning. Routed the antenna from the back of the Gobi rack to the passenger firewall and into the armrest where it's hook up to the portable Midland CB

Some pics would be really great. A link to the write up would be appreciated.

Installed my ram mount for my phone, Phillips 921 in domes, and added another coat of Zaino Bros polish.

Went on a late night run last night with a lot of the local Las Vegas FJ & 4Runners. 6-10" of snow at the higher elevations made for a really good time. Location: Mormon Wells Rd, 43mi from Hwy 95 to Hwy 93 North of Las Vegas City Limits.

New front and rear pads and rotors. 40 k and the brakes were still good but making a ton of noise. Bought upgraded rotors as opposed to having the factory ones resurfaced.
