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

The import equipment TRD stickers fit the level 8 mk6 caps. Sprayed it with satin black before installing.

So this happened this week.. Warn VR10000 with synthetic line from Southeast Overland, Southern Style Offrad slimline hybird, Icon front suspension with about 2 inch lift to level it all out.. REALLY happy with the turn out. Lights came with the bumper, so don't know anything about them. If anyone does know the lumens, it'd be great to know..

My TE stayed in the shop this morning, but had some fun with an R/C Truck in the driveway. Need to get a 4Runner body for it. Don't know if a T4 can do a cyclone, afraid to try.

Reverse on a nitro!? I was doing donuts this morning in my 4R...I can unfortunately confirm that it will not do donuts that tight. :lol: Too much torque off idle for 2WD donuts to work well.
 
First Camping Trip!

Forgot to post pics a few months ago... but I took my son on his first camping trip in the Wichita Mountains in OK. Thought this was a good shot... :fishing:

What spare wheel setup is that?

The carrier or the wheel rim itself? It's a 4x4Labs rear bumper/carrier, it may look different cause I only have one carrier accessory on it right now, picking up a fuel can holder from them in the next week here. Spare itself is an OEM Toyota steelie off an FJ Cruiser. My limited came with 20's and I wanted a proper spare so that seemed to make the most sense.

New Tires. I could no longer stand slipping and sliding on the snow.

275/70/17 on stock wheels. However, I called FN wheels and ordered a set of the Fx wheels today. Backordered...

Tire dealer gave me a decent credit for the Dunlops ($250) and I'll sell the Trail wheels as soon as new ones are installed.

he also told me he'll mount and balance for no add'l cost, so that's a plus!

I should not have procrastinated. I've only put 15 miles on the new tires (snow and ice on the road) and the difference is remarkable.


I'll have to shoot some pics this weekend.

The carrier. I'm interested in options for getting the spare out from underneath but don't want a full blown heavy bumper just yet. I'll look it up. Thanks.
 
Rerouted exhaust to side exit

After install of my SSO rear bumper, my exhaust was just hanging out the rear. Today I had the exhaust rerouted to exit side behind passenger wheel.

Went to The Muffler Man in Placentia, Ca. Small business with all work done by Lee and Jake.

Great work and fast...total of 30 minutes from time of arrival to driving away.

Lee used stainless for the 90 degree turn and added a nice touch by cutting tip at a 45 degree. He created a gussetted extension that connects to the oem hanger point.

Props to Lee!

Yup. Luke's stuff is usually lighter weight, but you'll have to do some digging to find out the specs or how it compares to something like an RCI. I needed fuel carrying capabilities so a full bumper was kind of my only option. I had carried rotopax on the roof before but it was a real hassle.

I'm seriously considering a 4x4 labs sometime next year, or aluminum hefty fab. I wish 4x4 would list a weight. Price is a bit tough to swallow, but I know he makes some of the best stuff out there...
 
I forgot to post last week but I finally had my lift installed. Bilstein 6112's set at 2.5" with 5100's and 1" Cornfed Spacers in the rear. This kit has been sitting in my closet for over 2 months...
