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

removed all stock skids...

installed all shrockworks skids (except gas tank gotta wait to run it down again...)

nice smooth under-body just waiting for some rocks!!!

anybody in Houston want some well loved OEM skids???? If not, they are taking the ride to the scrap yard to become something else in their new life...
I just sold my set - sans the tank skid - for $100 + s/h. The guy's mechanic lost them when servicing his vehicle.
Might consider posting in flea market.

Went wheeling for first time with my friend in his newish stock Tacoma 4x4 TRDOR. Gasline road through the mountains and checked out a century old mine site (known locally as swiss cheese hill).



This was a great hill climb. I used my tires and sliders to move a boulder out of the way and make access easier at the bottom.

I started filming him climbing up it, but we stirred up some bees. One pinged me hard in the back of the head, then stung me. I told friend to close his windows as I sprinted up that hill, got to my 4r, paused, heard the buzzing near my daughter's sleeve, so we took off her sweater and it flew out from inside and tried to swarm us (by itself). Got in the car, swatted it out, watched all windows close slowwwwwly.

May seem like overreaction, but we have africanized bees here. They're pretty relentless.

Anyways, here's the hill. Haha



Knowing that I had lots of armor, and a recovery vehicle nearby, I tried to straddle a deep washout.

Oops


Stuck as stuck gets. He couldn't budge me forward. Whole truck was basically sitting on the skids and sliders. I was waiting for superman to show up.
Would have got more pictures but battery was too low. He took some, though.

He pulled me out backwards, and I bossed over the ditches at a better angle. Need a new rear left quarter panel.

i just thought that it was the SOP (standard operating procedure) when working on or discussing T4Rs to include beer.

Got a change to meet up with a bunch of T4R members this past week.

[MENTION=133981]jmf_tracy[/MENTION] has been holding out and is building a monster in his garage, with a TRD Pro on 34's! Teaser:

I'm beginning to think everyone thinks I'm an alcoholic...everyone seems to bring me beer when I'm around.....
 
Finally got my lift on and tires. I had my 4ruuner for about a month and it was killing me in stock form. I need a roof rack now but undecided between the equipt k9 and the front runner full length.
 
She needs a wash but today I Plastidip'ed the Trail silver valance and knocked out the chrome. For the chrome I sprayed four coats of matte black Plastidip then two more with the graphite metalizer. I think it's a great match for the TOYOTA badge on the front TRD Pro trim.

A few teasers
1 of 2 Trail/Pro hoods acquired. The second one I am planning to get this weekend or next weekend as a partial swap plus $$. The plans for the 2nd one? You will SEE!
Pics of the entire rig soon. Snorkel is here waiting to be installed...

[MENTION=53960]itsdchz[/MENTION] where did you get the T4R badge that's on your front grill? Is it made out of metal?

used to be available here...but it looks like they don't carry them anymore :o(

shop.warrocketindustrial.com/main.sc

There was supposed to be a 2016 4runner badge but I guess that fizzled out.

Give it time, I'm pretty sure he will have more! I got one in red and one in black
