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

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!

Im in your neck of the woods and pretty sure I have seen your rig around a few times.
 
Installed my Diode Dynamics Tail as Turn modules. Very cool quick and easy mod. It turns the brake lights into blinkers which gives you the ability to turn the now old blinkers into white lights for added backup lighting. http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/...16-toyota-4runner-tail-as-turntm-module-pair/

Did you install the extra back up lights? I had this kit on order a few months back and ended up cancelling because I heard with 4 of the brightest DD backup lights, it washed out the rear camera image. If you installed the extra pair, any issues?
 
It's kind of corny...but I like it. Got my TEQ badge installed. Will post grill pcs tomorrow in the light. Snowing and cold as hell here today.

From the other day. Testing a GoPro mount location and capturing GPS details with Backcountry Navigator.

This is in the Citico Wilderness, located in the Cherokee National Forest. There's not much to the video because I forgot my batteries, and the one in the camera only ran for 9 minutes.

Being a TV guy I figured there wasn't much iris on the backup camera since it kinda gets washed out on a sunny day, so I went with the least powerful of their LED options. I had previously installed LEDs in the original backup locations before this mod, and its great, with this there's Tons of light. Camera looks great and with the curved lens on the blinker it spills out to the sides a little more so I can see better with my mirrors in the dark also.

New Years Day trip up into Tillamook State Forest [Oregon].
Truck in front of me bent a tie rod on Stick In The Nose. Was super fun in the snow. [video link below]. Got to watch a few [talented] people bend it back with a tree/winch/snatch block combo.

My video camera skills also suck. I'll learn. >> <p> <a href="https://vimeo.com/197797545">Sitck In The Nose | Tillamook State Forest - Oregon - Jan 01, 2017</a>

Probably, been all over the metroplex the last month or two. Let me know if you ever want to hit up some trails. My buddy's FJ is sort of out of commission so haven't been wheeling with anyone else yet since I purchased mine a couple months ago.
 
Day after Christmas did some shooting and took her off road for the first time along with my cousin's new JKU. She was COVERED in mud... Loved it!
