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

Wired and mounted this lil guy



Then washed and used Mother's 3 step wax system. Also applied some Rain-x.

Also got my top banner tint done the other day.

 
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.

The stickers seem to be hinting that maybe you're a sci-fi fan, but maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions. :)
 
Lost valuable in cavity below jack

I put a valuable item in the compartment where the tire tools/jack go...and it subsequently shifted and slid into the cavity below. Any simple way to access that space?
 
Did some more testing of the 99 West 'economy trailer' by taking it over Lolo Pass to Lost Lake, Hood River, and back.

Really badass little trailer:

I have been looking at these as well as the metal tech arms. Is there any advantage to running these over stock beyond the strength?? I noticed that they aren't offset like some of the others. Not really sure if that makes a huge difference or not.

I bought them for strength. My stock ones had taken some hits and I wanted to upgrade for a little more peace of mind. They aren't offset but I've never had any binding while wheeling. If you have a long travel rear setup then offset links are definitely the way to go. I love the Rokmens for the increase in strength and the fact they are maintenance free.
 
Dove hunting in south tx.

Had a decent day yesterday. Was fun. Got the truck dirty.

Dropped off my 4runner at the body shop to get repaired from when a SMART car with a DUMB driver rear ended me. There is a scratch in the bumper, her car is totalled.

Worst part is they gave me a Nissan Sentra as my free rental! :ybrick:
 
Finally gave up on building my own compressor mount for under the hood, ordered a Bandi mount from Leroy... Sometimes I'm such a slacker.

:ybrick:
 
Hung out at 10,200 for a little while and got sunburnt :)

Went to visit friends over the weekend in the city of Clovis. Drove out to Coalinga and stumbled across this fully restored vintage gas station.

Nah, I managed to hack together a pretty damned solid mount out of some aluminum angle but it was only because I needed it NOW in prep for a trip. Based on the cost of materials, time spent doing mock up and fabricating, and blood lost the Bandi mount is a no brainer. Even though it's solid I'll most likely replace the bracket I made if I leave my compressor in that spot as it should make for much easier service access.
