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

Spent the weekend at the MX races. Then stopped at downtown Dallas TX to check out the graffiti.

Gave it a much needed wash then decided it had been to long since I got some real dirt on the tires. Dad bought 80 acres for a new hunting ranch a few weeks ago so I took the opportunity to do some exploring this afternoon.

I know that Oklahoma Red Dirt! That's my home state. Lived in Norman for a few years, but down south in Texoma Land is where my acreage is...hope to get back this fall.

I dig the look of your 4R. Rack and ladder and flares. I'm thinking about doing my flares. What method did you go with?
 
Went behind the levee and found us a new beach spot and a couple trails. Let my girlfriend drive and she didn't want to give the wheel up!

Nothing like red dirt, it gets everywhere! I just used plasti dip for the flares 4-5 coats. I outlined it a little more in detail in my build thread. It's been about 1.5 years and it's held up pretty well. Have some chips and peeling in a few spots and they are starting to fade a bit. Trying to decide to spray a fresh coat over them or peel it off and run with it white again for a while. Was about to peel it over yesterday when washing it, but once it's cleaned up and covered in ArmorAll it still looks pretty dang good.

Looks like you're staying out of the powder or its just hard packed.
Shoot me a PM to let me know where you are crossing the levee.
Looks like a good place to take T4R photos.

Thanks for the info. A year and a half...pretty good for plasti-dip. Based on what I've read/heard, I'm leaning toward vinyl application if I decide to do it.
 
Took it out to Stampede Pass over by Snoqualmie. Drove through trail after trail of overgrown bushes. Sound like nails on a chalk board the entire drive.

Gonna have to take out the polisher today to get rid of the pin striping. Starts from the corner of the headlights all to the way down to the taillights.

C4 Fab vs RCI Gas Tank Skids

Since I drive through deep rock filled mud I decided on the C4.

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.

Wow Detroit looks low! Have you taken the back way from Detroit to Green Peter? Quartzville has some great scenic (and challenging) trails.
