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

Hit up Last Chance Canyon near Mojave, CA. The group was made up of my Trail Premium, a buddy's 5th gen Limited, another buddy's 4th Gen, a 1st gen 4Runner, and a Wrangle TJ. Hit some technical spots that had changed since the last time, conditions had really changed due to the wet season since last September. Smashed up some of the skids, will have to check visually in the morning.

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!

Nice trailer, I almost bought a Proline too. I personally would at least get a sway bar, just for the peace of mind. I had to get a 3 feet extension for my 7 pins connector since the 4Runner connector is so far from the hitch.

Didn't found any female to male coiled extension... Replaced trailer side male cord with a fixed female receptacle.
 
Is there an upgrade out there for our stock rear sway bar? I wouldn't mind replacing mine with something heavier duty. Thinking about going poly bushings all around also.
 
Sprayed a little tire shine and took better pics of the new tires and wheels. Happy with the fitment.

1week and 3car wash after the "trail with my Trail" episode I'm still trying to remove the mud/leaf/grass from underneath the truck and engine compartment.

Conclusion, it was way to fun to not do it again so I bought this at Costco:

Basic maintenance

Oil change and a brake flush. Fun fact about the brake flush, the servos will constantly flow fluid out the rear brakes but not the front (there you have to use the pump and hold method). I used one liter of fluid as a replacement and what came out had a fair amount of sediment and other contaminants.
