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

Just did the usual stuff today… running errands, dinner at Chili's. And counting down the days, hours and minutes until I finally get the new bumper and King coil overs installed. :)
 
Installed the :trophy:[MENTION=144247]SouthernStyle[/MENTION] slimline front bumper , warn winch and some spot lights, really happy with the way things turned out. Install was a bit of a pain due to the lights, measured and test fit 2x.....and still drilled 2x. Need to tidy things up (lights are not connected) and get the winch abrasion strap on.

*Yes, I spent extra money on "fancy" D-rings and hook....sue me

Looking great... :trophy:
 
I traded in my 2015 Golf R for a new 16' Trail edition!

I had the dealership add new tint all around. Tomorrow I am plasti dipin' that silver lower grille. The dealeship is installing a lift/level kit, TRD black rims, and TRD Toyota grille next week. I can get all under the factory warranty which is awesome.

My Golf R had the TTE525 turbo and made 435whp here in Denver, this beast is much slower but cannot wait to hit the trails and NOT worry about potholes. I still own an 04 R32 with under 60,000 miles so I can get my VW love that way.

Can't wait to learn more from this community!

installed my aob switch and my rear view camera override harness. I left the switch as a on/off without illumination, but now I'm wondering if I should have wired it up to a power source ..

Was looking forward to my vacation as my new TPE was supposed to arrive the week I was getting home... then it showed up early (no time to take delivery) and I'll be thinking about it for the next week (in Hawaii).

1st world problems but it's killing me.

At least you are here and not in snow.... enjoy the beaches and the weather. Are you on Oahu or on one of the other islands?? If you need any tips or spots, let me know.
 
Warn Zeon 10s, no issues with fitment but you will want to push it rearward in the mounting holes to clear the grill. I did not have to divorce the controls/solenoid from the winch



That's good to hear, because I've got the same winch going in. Everything is laying around the garage, just tough to get motivated when it's so cold.

Woah! Nice I was in the market for a Golf R when the whole tdi thing broke out. I tried to deal on the R but no one was biting. Finally I got fed up with VW and bought the second car on my list...the 4Runner TEP. I like to go fast but this thing is just amazing in all other aspects so it was the better choice!
 
New roof box (Thule Force XL). Bigger than I thought it would be, but fits on the Stealth without any problems. Taking it up to the mountains tomorrow for a ski day with my son, BIL and niece.

Since this is really my wife's rig and I know I don't need sliders she like these mall rated Nfab steps. With a little help from #2 , my 10yo. She was more concerned about what mom would say about laying on the ground and getting dirty.

Got dirty and broke stuff at Bridgeport OHV Park yesterday.

Smashed my driver's side front valve stem and couldn't air up. Note to self, metal valve stem caps might be a good option. That, or I might have completely lost tire pressure in the park with those. Not sure. Also ripped off the ram air duct under the center of the truck that I'm not sure what it actually cools. Nothing anymore though!
