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

[fattire]

Not today but since last update, installed LED interior lights (christmas gift) and then mounted the compressor

What bracket did you use for the compressor? Not much out there but custom that I can find.

The Toyota crew that stuck it out!

Yep! Love my YETI. Got it last year with my REI dividend, haven't looked back. Works well for day trip, and weekend trips.

My dog's behavior is all the evidence they would need to launch a full scale investigation and town hall meeting interviews hahaha.

Lol... Next mod...Squatch knocker holder, Ohio howl horn and IR Therm mount. Makes me miss living in NorCal! Plenty of animals to mistakenly identify.

Leroy Bandi (member here) offers one as well as Luke from 4x4 Labs both are of similar quality and price (~$100) , its spendy for what they are but years ago someone had a custom bracket and it was closer to ~$300 IIRC which to me is way out of line.

Leroy built my compressor bracket. Solid work. Dark horse custom quoted me 350 for their bracket. I told them to pound sand for that price.

Maybe the thread I had in mind was one of yours (not from years ago) but I agree at that price its not worth it. Obviously most shops are not going to make money on a 1 off bracket which is likely why they wanted so much but its still seems to much.

It was too much. And the fact that Leroy makes them, paints them, and ships them for 100 is a bargain.

Haha, should have been more direct. This sh*t is the sh*t, if you haven't tried this sh*t, you're missing out on some sh*t. :dancin:

Yeah I found several older threads in the $300 - $400 range. Ridiculous. $100 is very reasonable. Either you or [MENTION=96008]Engineer[/MENTION] have a username I can PM or a thread I can find the details? There are a couple of Leroy-ish users on here.

Last page has contact details and photos, note they come painted and with hardware (M6 bolts and a nut IIRC)

DOH! I read that thread but didn't notice the dates on the last few posts. Everything else was so old. Thanks for pointing that out!

I started my new sound quality stereo install this week. First step is fiberglass a-pillars. I've still got a ways to go but I'm making progress.

 

[lipek]

Installed HeftyFabworks front steel bumper with Superwinch Talon 12.5sr and Rigid D2 DOT fog lights.
This was the most complicated(read PITA) instal I ever did. The bumper is heavy around 225 add 70 lbs winch to it and it gets tricky.
Also I needed to relocate the solenoid for the winch and windshield washer reservoir.
Because I have the ARB compressor mounted in the back P/S I was unable to relocate the air pump therefore unable to instal expedition one windshield washer reservoir. I need to make a trip to [MENTION=125603]bandi[/MENTION] to see if we can mount the air pump under the compressor in order to be able to relocate the reservoir.









Hopefully I'll be able to fit the pump under there

Removed the air dam up front. Was a PITA to get most of the screws out since they were threaded in from above. Very happy with the way the truck looks right now.
