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

[iFoggy Noggin]

First time up in the mountains with my new rig

 

[Land_Shark]

Did you have any issues raising the front. I am about to do the same as soon as my bumper gets here.

This was my third time making adjustments and I have it just right. It had been about 8 months since the last time, so it took a little WD40 to loosen up the spinners. After that, mm by mm, measure a few times to ensure accuracy, then enjoy your sore arms for a couple days!

You shouldn't have an issue, but feel free to shout if you do.

Baja Rack installed. Backroads back home.

Surprised at how quiet this rack is. Like, really surprised.

Nice setup! I was also stuck in Tahoe whiteout conditions. Took me 7 hours to get back to San Francisco.

Offroading & Snowboarding in Big Bear.

Spent the weekend in Big Bear and got to take the 4Runner out for a little wheeling. Went up Holcomb Valley Rd 3N16, had a blast! trail was pretty muddy from the recent rain/snow.












Hit some pretty deep mud puddles, some were a little scary:lookout: I'll upload the videos once I get them edited.




Looks better covered in Mud!


Now its time to wash it all off:ybrick:

You got lucky... took us 8 hours to go 4 miles from south Lake tahoe 50 turn off to Meyers chain control... Then another 1.5 to get over to the other side. Got in line at 11am 3/4 mile from airport, and at 7:30pm, finally got the OK to go up the mountain. Is that where you were at, or did you go 80?

Coming back from a remote site in Ocotillo yesterday and found a spot where I ended up leaning nearly 45 degrees (felt like it at least) before realizing I wasn't comfortable continuing and backed up and went around. Upon backing up, there was a trail of fluid that appeared to have originated from the drivers side of my Runner. Figured it was rain water or condensation build up coming out of the frame after this weeks rain and moved on. A little ways down the road decided to stop and make it wasn't brake fluid. Determined it was in fact water.

Made it home and unloaded after a couple hours rest. Upon removing a 2.5 gallon water jug (you know the type for the fridge with the spigot) and realizing it was empty and then realizing it was sealed and full when we left the desert 5 hours prior :sobbing:.... guessing when getting my flex on, cargo shifted and popped the spigot off...

By some miracle all 2.5 gallons of water went between the seats, which were folded down, and soaked the drivers side rear carpet and thankfully ran out of the body drain holes as intended. :bravo: So the seats were completely dry and a trip to the coin-op car-wash for vacuuming got the carpets mostly dry. Then I threw a sock full of cat litter under the seat and this morning the carpet was dry to the touch.

TL;DR: Lost 2.5 gallons of water in the backseat of my Runner and it magically drained out of the body. Missing the seat cushions and only dampening the carpets.
