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

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.



Are you on The Off-road Podcast??
 
Hit up Big Bear,CA this weekend. Truck felt and did great. Did the correct MPG test and found out my Computer display was off 2mpg for the first test. I got 18.6mpg from my gas station to the gas station on the bottom of the mountain as the truck sits right now + 120lbs in the cargo area. I'll be doing a from the bottom of the mountain,trip and back home calculation soon as I fill back up. Computer says 15mpg on that stretch.

Decided to change out the interior lights to LED tonight. Much thanks to the video [MENTION=129328]jasonaaron480[/MENTION] put together here: 4runner LED Swap | The Ronin Chronicle | The Ronin Chronicle
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.

Need stronger tape. I had to use duct tape for my map lights. Those were tough on mine. Wrap the whole light then a quick pull down.

I just used a good packing tape, the hardest part was trying to see what I was doing, my flashlight died on me right as I was starting and a sleeping baby kept me from digging around for my other one.

I blacked out my window tint and put the visor strip on

this is the first 4Runner rear window I've ever tinted in my 10 years of tinting and it was a quick learning curve!

Test fit some new gear. Interestingly we got a protector seat protector that is black with red stitching, matching the TEP seats almost exactly.

I installed some lights it the hatch area (See build) and sold my OEM tires. I didn't get a lot for them, but I'm glad to see them go.

Installed and did a write up with pictures on Air Lift 1000 kit #60809.
Part 1 Part 2

Then added some very geeky stickers (hence 0HP gain). I'm not sold on the Companion Cube or Black Mesa ones yet. I may remove them because it looks busier than I would like.

Loch Lomond Camping

Took the wife kids and dogs to Loch Lomond for some camping over the long weekend. Cold windy and snowy but a good time

I said goodbye to ice and bought a Waeco CF50 fridge. Tested it out with a six pack of brews to chill on the way home. No pictures sorry, not sorry
 
Green Lakes trail excursion, ~9 miles in and back. The weather was puuuuurfect.
