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

Installed and wired up the Slee switches. The left switch controls my Rigid front fogs and the right will control the rear Rigid SR-Q's that are going in the bumper sometime in the near future. Even though the right switch is in for looks at this time, it's still wired up to illuminate when the lights are on.

Got any more pics of this, perhaps from a little further away? Also, where did you find these vents? Looks great!

Thanks! I have had zero cooling issues with this rig but decided this would drop some under hood heat and keep my ARB compressor cooler and possibly the mystic super charger down the road.... The vents are aftermarket Land Rover Defender air intake vents. Below is another pic from a bit further away.
 
Dropped the runner off at the race shop to have the guys install a few bits. I was lacking confidence in the installers I interviewed then remembered some old racing buddies that ran Baja back in the day...they now run rally cars. They should be able to figure this stuff out.



Rig was feeling a little mushy with all the gear I load into in. Hopefully this will solve the problem. We shall see...

This photo below is from yesterday when I came upon an Xterra well and truly stuck up to it's elbows. Seems he thought driving over this piece of wood would be cool. The wood took offense and firmly grabbed his front skid plate. By the time he quit spinning the wheels the rear bumper was laying on the sand. I calmly directed his efforts using my TREDs and shovel and had him on his way before the tide got him. I felt that he had suffered enough embarrassment and post here just a photo of the aftermath. When his son tells mom the story I'm sure he will never hear the end of it. I was going to pull the TREDs off the roof for summer, but think I'll leave them. I've used them twice to rescue others.

You will love the Icon set up! I've been meaning to swing by the shop and say hi but I've been swamped!
 
Received my OD Green TREDs and currently mocking up a mounting system for the Prinsu rack. Won't have time to cut, drill, and spray black until this Saturday.

Some idiot reversed over a pole in the ground and had to replace his rear bumper TE insert and exhaust end pipe. Thank you Toyota for making those bumper clips a pain to put in.
 
Almost bought 315 Ko2's.

For those wanting bigger tires, the 315 KO2 is not a whole lot bigger than my 285 MTR's.

only reason I didn't get them was because of my need to run spacers to avoid rubbing my King reservoirs. Once this rig is paid off and have the motivation to relocate reservoirs, this will be my next tire.

They looked perfect on my truck.
