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

I'm going to run the factory Firestone 265s for awhile until I purchase a lift and at that point would like to move up to a 275.

You don't have to remove the mud flaps, just drill a little hole and use a zip time to pull them back. There is a frame bold you can anchor it to.
Also if you get rub on the front of the fender liner, you can push the liner forward and re-tighten the bold to hold the liner forward. I put on 285's so I ground a little of the bumper down, so I could pull the liner forward even more.
 
Took the T4R on its maiden voyage yesterday! just a light fire road type drive but it was very slushy and muddy, truck handled great at the K02's were fantastic. Managed to interrupt a BMW commercial and drive through an avalanche so all in all a great day!

Today i took off the running boards on the Trail and i think it looks so much better! soon will add some rock rails..... Is there a used market for these things?

That background is amazing. Wish I was there!

Trucks looking good man. :thumb3:
 
Just so I am clear: I am not talking about the "light penetration" (it all sucks in fog anyway) but the fatigue on human eye and ability to recognize other objects surrounded by light reflecting fog.

The yellow light output doesn't reflect off of the white conditions and improves visibility and safer driving!
 
Trimmed some of my rear bumper's plastic panel back since I noticed this weekend it was making contact with the CBI bumper when that shit gets moving around on snow. What I thought would take 30 minutes took 4 hours. Ugh. FML.
 
Big Time Mod...

Installed the Nokya Hyper Yellow fogs. I went with the H11 55w (gasp!). I live in Phoenix, so if nothing melts here, they will be Approved. Mine are on anytime I turn on the headlights. I did need to trim the big (middle) tab. Wasn't all that fussy, just did it quick with a side cutters. I need to add to my sig, but they are in a '15 TE. They will look nice when on, but I think I still want Laminex for daytime "look" as I cruise through the mall.

18w to 55w isn't going to melt anything?

I am thinking of going with iJDMTOY Super Bright 3000K Yellow 40W H11 Amazon.com: iJDMTOY Super Bright 3000K Yellow 40W H11 H8 COB LED Conversion Kit For Fog Lights or Headlights: Automotive

Had front lift adjusted to sit level with ass end after a year of SAGGING, damn you Eibach!

Had sliders put on (RCI, down the street from home--great to live in a 4x4 town again).

Great to live in a 4 x 4 state where you have so many places to go and Moab isn't really that far off. I also think of all the non-Toyota aftermarket stuff on my truck and I have:

RCI Skids - Fort Collins, Colorado
GOBI - Aurora, Colorado
Hefty Fab Works Sliders - Colorado Springs, Colorado
Soon to be installed Toytec Lift - Northglenn Colorado

Makes buying local easy. :)

Ha wait didn't you start with the ko's, go to another tire and now you're back to the ko's?
 
LED install over the weekend. Pretty easy but I will go back and try to make a better mount. I don't like that the grill is kinda blocking the light so next up is Satoshi mod.

Yes , the guys at discount tire are awesome went to 275 s ko2 I got horrible mpg like 14-15 mpg went to 265 atp then Went back with the 265 c loads they were only 2lbs heavier than the 265 coopers still getting the same mpg as the cooper atp 4 ply allI can say is discount rocks they give you like a 60 day ride trial and will give you choices to make up your Mind also I had some trail wheels that they gouged to pieces and then replaced them for free without me even asking for anything they definitely earned my business for life .
 
Drove to 900km round trip to pick this thing up. Looking forward to the adventures it takes me on and the endless amount of mods that will take place.

I got a brand spankin new headliner today, on Toyota's dime! Previous one was dirty from repairing the rear gate seal.
Holy moly this thing is spotlessly beautiful!
