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

Went camping near Westport Washington and drove onto the beach. Hope you can see the truck (hint: look for the black wheels):second:
 
You're fine. The tank is semi flexible and I hit my skid plate harder than you did and mine didn't take any damage.

That's good to know, that's the same place I dented mine. I'm waiting for my C4 Fab skid to come in before I take a look. (Peers out from between fingers over eyes)
 
Plastidip Emblems Gunmetal Grey

Plastidiped my rear emblem and letters gunmetal grey. Wanted them to match front TOYOTA letters which came grey. Turned out pretty good. Looks much better. Details in my build. Next up, roof rails.

That looks awesome. I used black plastidip on my rear emblem but that looks a lot better imo. I might have to do the same to match my TRD PRO grill as well.
 
Got new tires last week so I had to strip the plastidip.... I contemplated leaving the original silver wheels but you know what they say... Once you plastidip black, you never go back [emoji38]

Really? So even tho the skid plate dent is causing the gas tank to dent into itself, that won't cause any issues with the tank like increased likelihood for stress fractures, sensor/computer reading issues, decrease in volume (even if extremely minimal)? I know I'm being nervous, but the car legitimately smashed/fell on top of the rock. Thanks for your input.

I smashed my fuel tank skid WAAAAAY harder than you did and the fuel tank is completely fine.
 
Did the dent pop out of the tank after you removed the skid or did it remain indented?

There wasn't a dent. Did you take your plate off and find a dent. Either way the pressure from the tank will cause the shape to return. You're fine.
 
On Sat 8/13/16 went to hidden falls adventure park and took the 4 runner through its paces, started raining making it interesting. I got lot of waves from the guys in jeeps who quit when the rain started, I kept on wheeling was great to crawl over obstacles like nothing that the jeep guys were spinning thier wheels on. All in all was a great time, hoping to go back again.

Installed a mob armor mobnetic pro cellphone mount in the runner, it is a rock solid mount way better than the ram mount I had the was mounted with the arm that came up from the front passenger seat bolt...
