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

It's a trail edition, not premium, he swapped front bumper and hood. Don't ask me why. It used to have a roof rack so when he put it back on he ended up with silver caps.

Again I can't tell you why, but I double checked and it is a TE.

Not all heroes wear capes.
 
Found a stock TEP in our garage, and used it as a good visual demonstration of bone stock suspension vs a +2 LT on 35s. Good god, what have I done...

...without a hood scoop? :peep:

I asked the owner, he actually removed the scoop by swapping it with a friend's SR5 hood.

Glad to see other people getting General Grabber AT2s

I love my AT2s. I have 50k and will probably get another 20k out of them if I go that low. Will probably replace after 60k though.

Holy shit that Looks amazing. To me it also shows me what divorce will look like!!! And I believe it's an SR5!! No hood scoop and sr5 wheels!!

Edit: And then I continued reading and now I'm a dick...

I still think it's an SR5

So he swapped sr5 wheels, sr5 bumpers, and sr5 side mirrors on top of the hood scoop? I bet he also swapped out the rear Locker, crawl control, multi-terrain select, and black with red stitching seats too.

This.

How?

Maybe he just likes making 4R owners' heads 'splode.

This.

It's not, it might be a dealer hodge podge like the knock off TRD Pros that were at dealers for a while. I totally don't care. I asked, I poked around inside, it's a Trail.

So maybe they just took off a lot of parts at the dealer to upsell another SR5. Again I don't care. Not my monkeys not my circus.
 
Installed mine just before a family trip to Las Vegas and then proceeded to break them in. (There's an optical illusion where it looks dented but it's not, just scraped.)

Nice, the skids are already coming in handy. Hopefully I'll get to test mine out before the end of the year. You'll find me more on the slopes than on the trail this time of year :becky:

Oh, not saying you don't know a Trail Edition. But why on earth would someone would buy a 40k vehicle and downgrade to the 30k vehicle appearance package....SR5 hood, bumper and wheels. That seems like a lot of expense to get the lesser. Would have been cheaper to get the SR5 and put on an ARB air locker if that is the look they wanted to go with.

Sr5 roof rail end caps too

Because they had some parts left over from some other dealer SR5 to TRD conversion?

You assume that everyone knows "exactly" what they are buying, truth is a lot of folks don't, they shop with emotion, not logic.
 
Yesterday

Went Christmas tree hunting in Mt Hood NF with wife and dog. We learned some lessons for next year like... bring a chainsaw or sawzall, and that trees look much smaller in the forest than they do when you get it in your house. We found an 11 footer that was on a probably 70 degree slope, had to wrap my recovery strap around it and tow it up the hill with the truck. Found a couple of fun trails off of Lolo pass rd that got a bit sketchy, but unfortunately not sketchy enough to rip my bumper cover off with wife spotting, thus expediting the purchase of a rear bumper. Good times!

I ripped out the Xreas suspension and put on my new Icon suspension. I guess its time to close the chapter on my 4th Gen and start a 5th Gen Build thread.

Let the mods begin! Especially with Black Friday and Cyber Monday
