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

I have a place up in Brevard near the Parkway. Enjoy the forest service roads there, lots to see, great waterfalls in Brevard area (south of Asheville)

Nice. Between the mountain biking, fly fishing, and moderate climate, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to leave.
 
Got delivery today for phase 3

Pumped to see more Kings going on T4Rs! But it makes my decision between King and Fox much harder!!
 
wow... looks just like one. got any interior pics?



No I didn't take any last night during delivery. It was opened up at the dealer to go through everything and then we closed it up to learn the process. Maiden voyage is this weekend 200 mi north. I'll take some pics opened up and of the interior.
It's my first camper of any sort. Glad to get off the ground, but there's a bit of a learning curve as my tent doesn't have a furnace, fridge or cassette toilet lol.
Nice unit though. Should be good.
If you want to look it up its a Flagstaff 23SCSE.
 
Added amber LED markers to the front grill. Waiting on the amber fog light overlays.

Finally got it leveled and wheels put on. Went from >70lbs OE setup w trail wheels to beefier and heavier duty tires w wider rims at <66 lbs. 5-6 lbs reduction of unsprung weight at each corner... thats a win in my book.



right at 29 lbs


20.4 lbs


65.6 lbs

It is a lot more stiff than it used to be. I noticed more of a difference getting new, larger tires rather than the lift kit.

I feel like I'm driving a tank now! I love it!

Took it to the body shop yesterday (see post #17221) and got them to replace my TE front valence with a TRDP front valence. Then found out today that my upper grill was damaged also, so they are replacing that with a TRDP upper grill piece. So, basically, insurance is covering 2/3 of the cost of updating my plasti-dipped parts to real TRDP.

:dancin:

*edit*
Got a '16 Heep Cherokee from Enterprise while the 4R is in the hospital. Honestly the most pitiful, ridiculous, POS I've ever driven.

Good week

On Saturday I had the replacement trd pro 160's shocks installed based on a TSB. I think they are an improvement but we really won't know until winter and hopefully no clunk. The really good stuff happened today.
This was delivered: Gobi NoRise

Getting things ready:


Here she is: No Rise

Love it:

Even got to be a slick top for a few minutes:

Very lucky to have a good friend with a shop. He helped me a ton. Much respect for those of you that have done this alone. Took us about 2.5 hours to do but we weren't rushing. Very very happy with the quality of this rack. Seriously well done. No quality issues at all. The shop guys were impressed. Everything lined up and well, just worked. Next up, saving for ARB Awning and extras. It did come with the brackets for a light bar but I took them off until I can swing one. Have to start saving up again for all these goodies. it's been a good few days....
