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

[4FL]

Spent a few days at Capitol Reef NP. South Draw Road is definitely recommended!!! I didn't make it all the way through since I was by myself but it was nice to put the 4R into 4Lo in a few areas. Also made a side trip to Goblin Valley State Park and Swing Arm City OHV.

Your tires are really 265/70/17? I like the look, but it seems the tires are larger than stock in the pics. I ask because I will soon be getting some tires, but want to stay near stock but at the same time get some nice look to it, going by the fitment guide of course.

Yep, they're stock size. Although if you did a side by side they are a bit taller and wider so I'm not sure how they're measuring the tire size. Maybe they aren't taking into account the tread depth? Iunno. I do get a good bit of rubbing but that also has to do with the wheel offset as well. If you keep the stock wheels you might not get any rubbing.

Started my 2014-2017 front and rear end conversion today. Also swapped out the 2012 limited rocker moldings. The front end conversion is pretty crazy.

Any chance we could see the rocker molding swap out & possibly get a write-up? -I've wanted to do this for a long time

Got tired of fixing THIS:

So I did this:

and painted the under body with some old cans I found in the garage. It's gonna take some getting used to as the funds for a bumper are a long way off.

Looks familiar, just spent the last week or so reinstalling all my parts from my 2015 TEP w/ KDSS to 2016 Trail with NO KDSS!

WOOT! [emoji41]

I'll snap some pics once I have my TRD wheels on. It looks terrible with the limited wheels. I'll also get you a list of the parts I used. Very easy to do. To do it properly for 2012 you need to buy the rear door moldings and have them color matched

Thanks for the info! I think I will keep my stock size, or go up just one size over. Still deciding between the BFG and Cooper (maybe Nitto), will read more as I approach the time to by.

Finished the Toytec Boss 3.0", SPC adjustable UCA, Method NV wheels with BFG KO2 285/70's. Really liking it. Ride is good, we will see about the off road capabilities this weekend.

Cougar Buttes: Hercules Finger

This past weekend.

 

[SWTrail]

Got the Carista OBD-2 adapter and iOS app and made some changes. Silenced the seat belt dings, turned off the ECO bar and couple changed to the door locks and windows. Pretty cool to finally have access to that stuff.

 

[BULLSPRIG1]

Welcome aboard! Mine is getting the exact same work done next week. Got any pics? It's tradition 'round these parts to also let folks know yer tire size.

I will post some before and after pics shortly. I'm just getting started with a 100% factory look right now. First step was the moderate lift. Next will be wheels and tires.

Hercules Finger huh?! I guess they had to keep it clean for the kiddos. lol

 

[engineeer]

Swapped the 265 KO2s for 275 KO2s after measuring and finding I would still have a few millimeters to spare. Also added 30% ceramic tint on the front windows:
