So much good food in Pittsburgh. If you ever need recommendations, hit me up next time!
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Better sound quality forsure. A lot less distortion at higher volumes and a much deeper and clearer bass. It's only 6x9 so don't expect a hard hitting thump with a sub and amp. The biggest difference was the 3 1/2 that I put in the dash. Those really brought out the highs and mids. I would consider upgrading those as priority and everything else to fill it out. I'm thinking about adding a small amp to run the speakers but I'll see how I feel after a week or two once I fully get to listen to the system.

Installed the Prinsu rack on Saturday and went to Hidden Falls Adventure Park on Sunday for her first outting in the mud/rocks! Everything performed amazingly, I love this rig!

Just got my first 4Runner a couple months ago. Also my first 4x4. Nothing crazy like y'all be doing, but I was excited to get my Yakima Fatcat 4s on. Time to hit the snow!

Modified Warthog always on cig lighters
I installed a modified version of the Warthog always on cig power outlets. Instead of using the existing top spot with an add a fuse I used the open spot just below the Door RR spot (4th one down on the left, it has power to it while the key is off) this should allow me to splice off one more open spot on the add a fuse block later if needed and leaves the Door Back fuse alone. Also I didn't drop in a whole modified fuse like Warhog, just broke a fuse in 1/2 and pulled out the plug soldered it up and heat shrieked it in place, seems pretty solid and works like a charm so far.
Also my version has a cig lighter outlet up front right next to an audio aux in and a usb plug. Doing the mod only worked on the cig lighter it did not also turn on the usb plug, anyone know what fuse works for that? Not sure I need it mainly just wanted to be able to leave my phone or pad plugged in while away to let it charge up.

Did this over the weekend as well. From the time I walked into the dealer until the time I was back in the 4runner was less than 20 minutes. I saw they rotated the tires and turned off the "maintenance required soon" light. Doubt they did much else (like actually checking the fluids). Oh well, took it home and did her first oil change.

I can definitely say that's NEVER happened to me. From the time I drove in to when I got my truck back --- an hour and a half. Not sure they did much if anything. I wanted to have them program the key fob but that was going to be at least another hour so I skipped it for when I had oodles of time to burn.

Sooo...
I was curious if they had rotated the tires. I can't tell just from a visual inspection. On the TRD Pro, the wheels came with lug locks and I know the key is zip-tied in the pouch with the tire iron. I went to check and it is still zip-tied. I assume they either: 1) have a master key, 2) used the key in the pouch and zip-tied it back up, or 3) didn't even bother to rotate the tires. Might have to make a call and check on how their procedures.

Weird,
I took mine in for the 5K two Fridays ago. I also wonder if mine was rotated. Oh, and the tires on one side were missing their valve caps (luckily I have spares).
But I had a non-centered steering wheel. Wonder if their solution was to drop the air. Cause I made sure all were correct. Now I have to go back and check..... :|

Took some advice from the guys at Goose Gear and used silicone sealant (basically caulking) to seal up the grommets under my vehicle where wires were passing through, as to avoid leaks in the floor when doing a water crossing.
I have 2 looms running out under the driver seat, and 3 running out under the right rear cargo area grommet (where the tie down D-rings are located).
Just helps prevent water ingress.

Thanks for the feedback. Let us know if you end up getting an amp. Running MT's by biggest complaint is that I find myself on MAX and getting distortion.

Haha, the fence posts reflecting in the chrome of your front bumper made me do a double take
That is pretty funny.......and scary if that was some new mod!
