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

I declared the end of winter season by washing both trucks (1995 Tacoma and 2012 4Runner) and pressure wash frames to remove any road salt that might be there. Next is fluid film both frames. This is the only drawback of moving out of California (I don't smoke weed, so I don't care about legal marijuana over there).

Testing the 4wd System, it works:thumb:

Ouch! Best wishes to your son for a speedy recovery!

Sean is doing fine watching Spongebob on the TV waiting for Supercross to begin. He did well in the OR and no surgery just a cast and better drugs than I got when I got my appendix taken out.

Installed HIDs from The Retrofit Source. Not sure I love the wiring harness and relay setup, it was a more complicated install than my buddy who went with Xenon Depot's kit.
 
I burned some midnight oil and installed KC Hilites Gravity G4 LED fog lights in my ARB bumper. Really like the complimentiing LEDs that pair nicely with the ARB LED turn signal/DRL and the Lifetime LED headlight bulbs.

Finally got around to putting on "a" rock slider. Driver's side will have to wait until the morning. I received these from C4 last October,
just had issues working around the weather (and primer that wouldn't "take") to prep and paint.

Beach day

Went to the beach for an autism awareness event. Won a sweet high-jack lift and a cooler.

Installed my ARB differential breather kit before heading off-road tomorrow.

Differential side of the tube:

Mounted the breather in the engine bay, driver's side between the fuse box and firewall. Left some extra tubing in case I want to relocate it later:

This is about as much as I could tighten the disc onto the bracket without stripping the screw:

Bought a used prolite profil, 1queen 2bunk 1300lbs.
Truck is still fun to drive, no white knuckle.
No weight distribution needed, maybe a sway bar... 7way cable was to short, bring her home without brake didn't felt any push.
Now we can start to plan the 1month road trip!
