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

Today I picked her up from Slee after getting BP-51s installed.

Pulled all my skids and changed all the fluids minus the coolant. Finally installed my Gibson cat back as well and it's surprisingly quiet with almost zero drone even with the URD y-pipe and it tucks a lot higher than the stock set up. It does however get raspy when close to red line but easily livable. Still need to finish a high clearance tail pipe as well as it's just dumped over the axle currently. I can say I am honestly surprised about this exhaust I thought it was going to drone really bad but it sounds a lot like the the TRD exhaust for the Tacoma's when cut behind the axle...

Pulled the stock 20" wheels and tires off my new LE, had Blizzak DM-V2 tires put on a set of 17" 4Runner take-offs I got the dealer to sell me with the 4R for $200.

Went to General Sam's Offroad Park in Huntsville, Tx.
Lots of mud and then about 1.5hr or washing the truck to remove it all :twitch:

My 4Runner is the white one (POV) -> Video Link

Thanks for the reminder about this park. I'll have to get to it at some point. Although, I went through mud once and I've said never again lol. Also, been around the Woodlands by any chance? Feel like I've see your ride going south on 45 from the Woodlands a few weeks ago just past Rayford. Looked great.
 
Well it wasn't my 4Runner but it was my brothers JK. Insane wind yesterday here on Long Island and my parents had a tree crash through their house. Everyone is ok! But the JK got it bad also!! It ended up starting and driving out of the driveway after they got the 20 Ton tree off of it! My brothers from the fire dept were there fast to shore up the house and secure it. I've responded to a lot of emergencies in my 14 years in the FD but never one at my families house!!

Washed it the fist time in Poland ($6.50 for 7-cycle auto wash at BP). Having it for 2 weeks I already put additional 1000 miles on Polish roads and unlike in California, it actually snows here, so cars get dirty in no time. Apparently this "Brand/Model" is not in car insurance companies computer so in order to insure it my Bismarck has to be "officially apprised" (pisses me off - paying hefty fee to someone for telling me what I already know :ballchain:). The "official appraiser" told me to wash it so "it looks good on the picture". F!@#$% wankers :puke:

The only positive side of it I can tell: my truck is so shiny :humble:

Installed thule crossbars and changed roof rail caps to black. Looks better! Will eventually upgrade to full roof rack, but in the meantime... this will do to put the cargo box on top for the big move to Alaska.

Yeah, that place is just mud everywhere....
I live near the Galleria area, Friday on my way down from the park I got off on Rayford to get the truck washed at the Jet set Car wash there.
 
Well, got lucky. Was going to wear down the factory Duelers and years from now, change over to KO2's.

Found a set of Terra Grappler take-offs from a Pro, for cheap on Craigs.

Yes, they're dirty, but they were in great shape, great price, and the shop that I had swap the rubbers even bought my old Duelers.
