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

Went serpent hunting in the desert...

had our great nephews (7 and 5) join us at our mountain house for an overnighter. Went for a drive to look for baby buffaloes and other critters in the South Park Area.

Ran into this unfortunate soul, offered to give him a ride to higher ground so he could get some cell phone reception and call his dad to rescue him with a trailer. I did not look at the damage, but sounded like a control arm issue, took out a brakeline and front cv joint and a few other suspension parts.

Nice young man, hope he got things taken care of before the dark and snow showed up...Good thing he was on a county road doing rather than the interstate!

Schlepped out to eastern Oregon to see my biggest fans.

Cool shot. There are some AWESOME places for pictures with the windmills off of 206 between Wasco and Condon. I take that highway out to my family's ranch every year and want to stop, but I am so burnt out by the time I get there I just want to be done driving.
 
Installed the Canadian 3rd Row Cargo Liner. Thanks to [MENTION=119811]T4RVAN[/MENTION] for taking the time to get this in Canada, and ship it to me!

Took her to Hollister to mark our one year anniversary. Another T4R and a Tundra tagged along. Those trails were a bit too much for the Tundra, about an hour and a half to get him out of a bad spot, no matter what we did the truck wanted to slide down the hill. That clay/mud is not fun to walk around in.

I still have Hollister mud under my truck from 3 years ago. Stuff is tough to get off the underside, super tacky. Try to make some other local runs.
 
Order the lights from [MENTION=12905]XenonDepot[/MENTION]. Thanks to [MENTION=129593]MTN4RNR[/MENTION] for telling me which lights to order and helped me figure out how to install the lights. The lights are much brighter now after installing the LED's.

Thanks [MENTION=122557]atlt4r[/MENTION]! I'm glad you're happy with your purchase. The Philips 194 LED bulbs are truly awesome. They are my "go-to" LED T10 wedge bulb.

Got the windows tinted on the wife's mall crawler. Put 5% over the stock tint on the rears and 20% on the front 2. Thank goodness for rear-view cameras. If anyone is looking for a shop in the Bay Area, check out Shawn @ Superior auto tint & detail in Fairfield. He did an awesome job and he used 3M carbon tint on the windows so both AM and FM reception are unaffected by the tint (not to mention the lifetime warranty agains fading/bubbling)! I made the mistake of going with a cheaper deal on my dodge magnum and completely lost radio reception after the tint job. Overall, couldn't be happier with the way things turned out.

Looks great. But doesn't all the radio/sat/gps come from the shark fin antenna on the roof?? Correct me if I'm wrong.
 
Greased my Camburg UCA's a few thousand miles early. Got back from being out of the country for a week and realized how much noise (clunk) I was getting from the front end, started with what was easy first and that happened to be it. Its amazing how when something comes in little by little you might not notice (the whole.....boiling toad in water thing)
