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

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.

That's not lazy, that's smart. I sold all my rotopax cause I got tired of having to lift them, even though they're infinitely easier than pouring out of a nato can. I switched back to nato cans but now use a super siphon.. so much effort saved. You've inspired me to do something similar with my water cans, thanks bud!
 
Picked up a complete set of WeatherTech mats for it... and would have picked up my winter Hakkas as well, but a miscommunication through a few emails means they forgot the studs, so gotta' wait 'til next week now. No biggie.
 
Installed my new skid plate and filler plate from the Fall 16 group buy that just happened and stuck on some more HP. Getting everything ready for the Earthbound Overland event tomorrow south of Nashville TN.

Who did you purchase from if you don't mind me asking? Looking to pick up a set and not getting the run around...!



I got them from shrockworks with the bumper I ordered. That's why the synth line is also in the pic. Check with [MENTION=124732]LawnDart[/MENTION] I know he just ordered up a whole set up and am super excited to see how his turns out.

After 4 months of ownership, I did a thing today. Kayak fishing on a 50acre private lake. Lift/wheels/tires coming in the next few weeks.

Over the past week of ownership, I've done a few things already. Put the yellow Lamin-X film on my fogs, installed my radar detector mount and RD using a BlendMount from my old car and a MirrorTap.

And just today got my new grey TRD wheels installed with the AT3Ws in LT265/70R17 LR-E. Need to figure out the optimal tire pressure to run on the road, as Falken claimed 48-49 psi, but that seems way high. Likewise, Discount Tire filled them to 38 psi, but I'm not sure that's high enough. So far, in the all of 15 miles I've driven on them, they seem barely louder than the stock AT20s, and it's more of the high-pitched wind noise off the tires than the usual low-pitched hum one would expect. They balanced out perfectly as well!! Can't wait to try them out off-road tomorrow! Really too bad Toyota sells these things with poorly rated highway tires, but I like the look of the TRD and AT3Ws so far.

I think those wheels look really nice with the blue paint.. nice rig!
 
Installed N-Fab Nerf Bar

Ordered from Amazon and arrived yesterday - very well packed/protected. Thanks to advice I read on the forum I knew the instructions were off a bit and the curved part of the bar goes forward (saved me from learning the hard way). One man job and took all of 30 minutes. Now the ladies are happy they can get in/out easily. Will be important when I put a small lift in.

Had to go with plan C for the weekend, spent the day criss crossing the mountains. There was rain, snow, a little mud, then some night running. Lemonade out of lemons...

Rained all day in Seattle, so spent the whole day in the garage.

Out with the old and in with the new: OME 2884(right) and OME 2887(left)

Installing the Addicted Offroad bumper was a PITA, getting the TRD Pro garnish off was also a royal PITA. That 3M tape is no joke! Still need to trim the fender lining and relocate the wash reservoir.
