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

I like the red cable portion, but you would think that part goes to the drum end so you know when you only have a layer or two left till full out ? Sure as sh$t tho, that link shows it on hook end .. hmmm either way, bad ass winch and great looking rig bro !

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that. This is how it came from the factory so I'm assuming its correct, I'll see what the other end looks like when I get it tensioned.
 
New FN 5 Star and 285-70-17 Falken Wildpeaks.

Installed the TRS Morimoto Elite HID kit and the Morimoto XB LED Fogs. I copied [MENTION=103267]Saker[/MENTION] for the HID install. I used the XB Direct Replacement thread for the fogs and did not have to remove the bumper.

Wife and I are headed downtown tonight for the canSURVIVE event. Can't wait to see how the lights look on the way back home!

Installed NFab Nerf bars. the 3yo is happy she can climb in by herself now.



I love the N-Fab bars. We are not taking our runner on any serious off-roading. Mostly a mall-crawler with occasional off pavement jaunts.

Finally got my navigation 3 years after I purchased my 4runner. Waiting for the front and rear cameras to get delivered.

Nice! I put an 8100 in my wife's RAV4 and it's a pretty solid unit. My only real complaint is that the nav volume isn't relative and it's a bit soft if the music is at a "fun" volume. It's an order of magnitude better than the 4Runner's nav though. I'm debating about getting an 8200 or a Kenwood DNX893S for my 4R. I just need to get off my ass and find a body shop to paint the install kit to match my Trail's metallic black trim.

I'd appreciate a write-up on the Maestro RR though!
 
Found some nice side trails while checking out an access road to a pond.

Tried Back Country Navigator on my tablet. It worked ok but the area I downloaded was limited. I found that if I load an area on Google maps with the Terrain feature and leave it up while out on the trail gps shows my position very well over a broader area. This will let me explore trails that go off into the hills and split repeatedly.

The Maestro is direct plug and play which saves a lot of time. You no longer need to tap into any wires as long as you flash it with the correct firmware. I will say that there are a lot of wires from the cameras, maestro, navigation and various harnesses that you will need to fit behind the radio. Fortunately for us, the 4runner has a lot of space behind the radio.

I was able to get the 8200 from Sonic Electronics for a little over $1000.

Modified a Scepter water can because I'm too weak/lazy to remove it from the bumper carrier all the time. Way easier to wash hands and dishes (and take cold showers after I think about [MENTION=129593]MTN4RNR[/MENTION])....all without needing to remove it from the bumper.
