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

Looks like everyone had an adventurous and eventful weekend for the most part. I'm jealous...all I did was pull weeds.

Well done with the photos, all you so and so’s!
 
I added Super Duty Headquarters ditch light brackets and Baja Designs XL lights. @bajadesigns

Did tranny fluid drain, new filter, 12 qts Amsoil. Not a bad job to do, followed the method from Tacoma World forum. Still could not get the truck into A/T temp check mode. Tried the "six shift" N to D, Tried S to D, could not get it to work. So I let it run till the pan was quite warm to the touch and pulled the check plug. Got about 2 cups out before it slowed to a trickle. Seems to shift smooth, but was not that bad before. Original fluid was definitely darker than new Amsoil.

Put my bike rack on and did my first trail ride of the season. Not missing the Fatbike. Can't wait for the DH season to start, though.

They look great! Are there any modifications necessary when installing the ditch light brackets?

There are no modifications or cutting required with the SDHQ brackets. The stock hood hardware is used. The SDHQ brackets use a high quality powdercoat and have their logo and the American flag laser etched on them.

What amsoil did you use ...

I want to do this to my tranny, transfer case, and rear end... it'll be expensive using amsoil but worth it...

Amsoil 75w90 for rear end and transfer case but what did use for the tranny ???
 
Well not today but pulled boot up and zip tied while rotating this weekend, this 5100 does not look happy.

And I put yellow film on my fog light (still undecided if I like it or not)

Installed some LED DRL's last night. Here are a few iPhone pictures of my dirty 4Runner after the install last night.
The lights are from Aiden James Customs

They were very easy to install, and the directions were very good, and precise. Took me about 2.5 hours, but that is because I took my time, and made sure all wiring was zip tied, hidden and looked factory.

The kit that Aiden James gives is AMAZING quality! OEM foglight housing, with LED's already installed, and wired beautifully! VERY quality work, up to my standards, by far! The kit also comes with the correct length of wiring, loomed, and all connections ready to connect, and VERY self explanatory, especially with the very detailed instructions. Trickiest part was separating the relay box bottom from the housing to tap a wire in that box. It was easy, but I wanted to make sure not to break tabs.

Very happy with the kit and customer service. Only downside to ordering was the 7-10 day custom-made-to-order wait time that really took 25 days.... BUT SO WORTH IT!
