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

Gave her a wash, installed a pair of D2 led lights, new tweeters in the dash, and a C4 rock slider on the passenger side. Was too hot in Phoenix to starting taking on the drivers side and dealing with the KDSS lines. Will save the drivers side for later this week!
 
Where was this at? Based on news reports, I was thinking that next weekend would be the time to start weekend trips to view the fall colors, but not by this shot.
I just went for a drive to Aspen Alley (not too far as the crow flies from Pingree Park) and they definitely had another week (maybe two to go). With that said Snowy Range (especially on the Eastern slope) were pretty much at peak.
 
Went up to Yankee Hill today above Idaho Springs, CO to see the changing colors. Was absolutely beautiful out there today.

Went to Palm Springs today. Actually got the wife to drive me around so I could this time take in some of views.

That looks like the parking lot behind the La Quinta Resort and Club. If so, I hope you and your wife got to stay there. I was there back in August. That is a great place!
 
Installed RCI sliders and took the 4Runner for a trip to Aspen Alley in the Sierra Madres of Wyoming. Unfortunately over there they've got another few weeks before they peak. This week should be an exciting one because I'll be taking the 4R down to Slee for installation of Icon Stage 5 kit.

Not in or to 4Runner but inspired by my 4Runner. I loved so much BFG KO2 in my Bismarck that I upgraded my 95 Tacoma 4x4 DX Ext Cab (316 miles and counting) with 30x9.5R15 (stock 6 inch wide rims) BFG KO2. I did not find any deal this time so I paid full price $159.00 per tire and never looked back.

The good thing is that with those 9 years old Michelin LTX 235x75R15 that were on the truck the speedometer was about 4% off. With 30x9.5R15 KO2 the speed is right on the spot. After changing from Micheiln LTX to BFG A/T the ride comfort is even better. I love those KO2

Started wiring in fridge, decided clean things up a bit and add a switched/straight bussmann fused/relayed power block and f' me Diehard Platinum 31m the case is cracking (both sides) no wonder it is not holding a charge. What a peice of sh!t, barely over two years old and only 15k on the truck since I installed it. So not stoked to lift that 80 lb POS out and drop a new one in.

We stay out there quite often. Very pricey but worth the money because the service is top notch and they usually always give us an extra perk or two. My mother-in-law lives about 30 miles away so quite often we go to the Palm Springs area for the day such as today. We usually go to their restaurant (26) for lunch. They make a *****in' burger and bacon Bloody Mary!

You've 3 year warranty on it. Take it to Sears and get brand new one free.

They don't sell them any more. I don't want them to replace a platinum class battery with something that isn't equivalent. This happened to [MENTION=55815]Okki[/MENTION] to, to be honest not sure I would want another one. I am looking at picking up a Northstar... assuming I can get a refund.
