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

[trapshot68]

Actually took pictures this time

Yesterday, stopped by the guys at Demello [MENTION=59079]jdemello[/MENTION] to pick up my hybrid sliders and install. Outstanding and thank you!

Then today dropped the front bumper to install my 32" LED bar and also put on the black TRD Pro trim pieces for the bumpers. I had previously plastidipped the silver accents and like the way they sit now much better.

And those pieces are much easier to change taking the bumpers off....

Attempted to install the driver side slider with KDSS, but I had no idea what I was doing. Now I'm driving around with one slider. Anyone have any tips on installing the Demello sliders w/KDSS?

Got this far:
- Unbolted brake line
- Unbolted KDSS line
- Unbolted skid plates

Any tips? :crybaby:

Sorry, I went the lazy route and had them install it.

But they are nice.

Want me to sling a pic of how's its on there now?

I have shrockworks, but they were specifically built for KDSS. Did you order your Demello's for KDSS?

The biggest issue I had was getting the fuel tank bolt back on (stupid me had a full tank) and loosening the KDSS lines, bending the brackets, and sliding the mounting plates behind them. Not familiar with the Demello setup but I imagine it to be a similar process.

Installed AVS Bugshield II and all interior LED lighting! Was exciting because these were said to be delivered by Tuesday.

Tc uca

Washed her and installed Total Chaos UCAs, about 2 hours, start to finish. I didn't have to bend or manipulate any fender metal, only loosen AC line bracket on passenger side.

Went ahead and did Twin Cone Today. Absolutely beautiful up there with all the color changes. Had a great time after I got my busted valve stem repaired up there (good reminder to keep tools handy at all times and have spare parts!) Got some great pictures and some three wheel motion (yes I have full size spare its just in the truck)

Attempted my first plasti-dip today. Not sure I like the contrast of the white behind the new blacked out chrome grill piece. May make it all black back there.
The rest of the chrome is definitely going to be done next.

Installed SSO Rear Bumper. Took about 2-3 hrs. Installing Front Bumper tomorrow.

Also still waiting for Drabbits Roof Rack for 15 months now. [emoji35]

Decided to change out the interior lights to LED tonight. Much thanks to the video [MENTION=129328]jasonaaron480[/MENTION] put together here: http://theroninchronicle.com/4runner-led-swap/
The tape trick was invaluable tonight.
I decided to leave the dome and vanity lights white just because having a white light might come in handy when I don't have a working flashlight.

It looks like you missed the bolts at the top of the KDSS that go thru to the frame.

Thank you so much for watching and referring to my video! I appreciate that! I'm so glad that it is doing so well and is liked by the community/. its still one of my favorite videos and its one of the first.

I'm working on the Switchpros install Video now! Just finished yesterday, now I need to compile and edit.

Here is a preview of it I posted on my Instagram that I did Yesterday.

The photo below is the Switchpros Iphone digital panel and below is the actual Panel I installed in the vehicle. I'm not a professional and I was able to do it myself.

Nice hand wash and shine
5K service
Oil change (not due to 10K I know, but I like to get break in oil replaced early)
Dealer programmed key for windows up/down


Now I have to resist taking it in the woods this afternoon and keep it clean for a week. arty:

Looks awesome! Was the install pretty straight forward?

 

[USMCRUNNER]

Got my Rokmen lower trailing arms installed.

Extremely straight forward. The most difficult part is getting everything aligned.

Removed chrome window trim and running boards on my newly acquired 2010. Looks a lot better now I think.
