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

One other thing I did after getting the rack and ladder installed… I put on my Rocket Aerial Photos sign, which is red reflective vinyl with a black outline. Really shows up great at night:

Did a bit of exploring:

Mrs didn't care for this portion and thought she wanted to walk:

Then she saw this truck off the edge and decided she definitely was walking:

Eventually we made it to the top:

All in all fun day and a good excuse to go for a drive.
 
Where did you get the trail emblems on the side? Loving them.

Right here:

Trail Emblem Revision 02 (R33EXWH6U) by jrandom

They have a wide variety of materials you can get it printed in, even steel. I went with the basic "black strong and flexible". It's got kind of a rough surface particularly along the edges so I sanded it slightly. Then I painted it with a couple coats of primer and then several coats of black Plasti-Dip.
 
Finally made my bracket for my ARB CKSA12 compressor. Spent $17.58 at Home Deport for the steel, bolts, nuts, washers and hi-temp paint. Used 1/4" steel as the main mounting plate. It's very study and I can switch to the larger CKMA12 onto this bracket in the future if I want to.

Now I need to wire the switches and airline so it'll be diff locker ready.

Thats cray... i didn't even know you can first 3 back there

Originally had a Recaro for our oldest son (6yo) but had to add 2 more for my 2yo twins! Wanted to keep using Recaros because race car, but they wouldn't fit 3 across! Had to end up buying 6 of these Dionos (3 for my truck and 3 for my wife's Car) to be able to go three across forward facing. That hurt.
 
Why not just get all RCI? Just wondering.

Got the C4 through the group buy. I also felt it's more finished and more closely resembles the stock skid in that it cups the fuel tank. The RCI appears to be open in the rear and not sure about the front. Probably not a big deal but if the stock also covers the rear, not sure why RCI didn't.
