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

Bilstein 5100 Installed. 1.75" with 1" corn fed spacer in the rear.
Also completed the h11 to h9 mod and levelled the headlights.

How'd you go about blacking out your fender flares on your SR5? It looks amazing and I'm thinking about doing this. Also did you replace your rocker panels with TE panels?

That came standard on all Canadian models up here - if I was to guess as how you could do it; Bedliner or vinyl. As for the rocker panels, I'm not sure if they are the same as the TE panels?

I've thought about spraying the front section of my grill with Bedliner to mimic the trail edition look as mine has a lot of rock chips , but vinyl would at least be reversible (but so much more expensive....)

Gave Blood Today

I heard the Seattle hospitals were dangerously low on blood supplies of my blood type so I stopped procrastinating went in on the way to work. 16 gauge needle had me drain out 16oz in 7 minutes. If you are eligible you should consider donating, it's a great way to help your neighbor. :usa2:

Gave the KDSS a stretch this morning, going down a fireroad (7N02) that's soon becoming a single track. Multiple sections of off camber, somewhat washed-out shelf road, and overgrowth to drive through. Will be getting all-terrains once these tires wear out, thinking of going with the Nitto Terra Grappler G2s. Anyone have any experience with them?

I have the G2 Predecessor on my 4R. Not necessarily a bad tire. A lot of people love it. However, I will not purchase again as I have not been impressed.

I will second that. I ditched the set that came on my turd for E rated Cooper ST Maxx, and it wasn't until I had the Nittos off that I noticed a couple of slices in the sidewall. They also seemed to slip easily on wet pavement. Pretty decent for an all around tire, but like you I wouldn't buy another set. If you go off road anywhere with sharp rocks or tight spaces where the sidewalls are going to rub against anything, I would recommend something beefier.
 
Finally cleaned out the interior. It was a mess in there from the last snow storm. Hopefully i can get to the outside in the next few days.
 
Bilstein Install

Had Bilstein 6112's installed up front (1.85") and Bilstein 5100's in the rear with 1" cornfed spacers.

Pic looks like it has negative rake, but it doesn't -- my driveway slants up :)
I know a lot of people don't like measuring ground to fender, but it's what most people go by : rear sits at 38.5", front at 37.25"
alignment: all within specs

Good knowledge to chew on.
 
Installed the Grand General amber grille lights today. Very easy. Used 9006 splitters and connectors to branch off from the bumper turn signals and resistor to minimize messy wiring and time spent outside (just above freezing today).

Also showing off the location of my Blue Sea ML-ACR on the driver side and Optima YellowTop D34/78 as it sits on the Shrockworks dual battery tray on the passenger side.

On the front sides of the roof rack, I now have SR-Q2 diffused lights, and inside the truck is the switch for the Blue Sea ML-ACR as well as an awesome Dual Battery Voltmeter I imported from Australia (by SolidKit).

Awesome voltmeter- I've been looking for something like that for years!
