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

Congratulations, this thing looks amazingly well done and professional. The contour lines are a perfect touch, reminds me of something you might see on an Earthroamer. If you do go to market, I'd say your branding is spot on!


Thanks man. I have a ridiculous amount of time in this little project and that means a lot. I appreciate it. :fro:

The rig gets a lot of looks when I take it out. From Jeepers to Toyotas to Subarus. Dudes have even rolled up next to me on the highways at speed and slowed down to give me a thumbs up. The public response has been at times overwhelmingly positive.

Added 10 HP today

Slapped on my tr4 sticker. Thanks to Momo.75. Great quality sticker. Also got my team 4runner sticker in. Haven't decided where to put it. Matches my bro runner. :heh:

Monday night I drove out to Anza-Borrego for a brief overnight trip. I spent the night up on Pinyon Mountain.
In the morning I explored the trail there a bit, then headed south to the Carrizo Badlands. Only then did I begin
to see any significant amount of spring flowers, and even there the peak bloom is still probably a week away. I
also saw a lot of 5th gen 4Runners out there!

Below are a few pics from the trip. You can see more in my "Adventures of Megaweapon" thread:

Very happy with the new setup 5100's all around (fronts set to 0) and OME 2883 front and 2895e rear coils. About a perfect 2" lift front and rear

Our 5 th gen is hiding in the barn while we wait for the last of the salt to be washed off the roads. Most of my winter/salt driving is done in the 01.

Took my 2 year old out for dinner and people watching. Trying to take him out every Wednesday nite for some daddy/son time. Unlike my 5 year old, this ones 100% mamas boy and I'm trying to change that.

No worries. I had it written down on a piece of paper and figured if I typed it out I would help me keep track when I need to resupply. Maybe we should make a thread of this. It's a pretty important thing to have when you're on the trail or camping. Hell, I've even needed my EMT bag while driving to work and rolling up on a car accident before anyone else.

Thanks for the list/idea. I've always used a soft bag that I can take backpacking when with a group of friends. I also take the same kit for field work and camping. A hard case will be a nice addition to my EQ/emergency kit in the truck.

Seems either I'm always the responsible one looking after everyone in the backcountry or my friends are just morons in that setting... or perhaps both!:shrug:
 
Nice. I had the CABRAC on my Tacoma and really liked it. I'm considering putting one on my TE.

How did the install go?

it was uneventful, which is a good thing. I had to do a little finessing to get the rack lined up on the roof the way I wanted, and had to add a fender washer to the front supports so that the rack was only touching the spacers and not the roof itself. (not a big deal by any stretch)

looks awesome, can't wait to load it up and get out into the woods.

I have a kit I keep in my vehicle, a larger kit I take on trips, plus a small trauma kit (clotting agents chest seal, 4 x4's etc) that can fit in a BDU pocket or a backpack.

Only needed the big kit once, but that was enough. Which reminds me, I have to go through the kit I keep in the vehicle and replace all the wipes etc that can dry out.

all the kits include nitrile gloves, cpr mask, and hand sanitizer, which is amazingly effective.
