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

You are correct, when I turned as I walked away I couldn't tell if the 4RNR was tiny or the Raptor a giant.



Raptors are badass, but are too wide for any trail riding down these parts... unless you really like that high pitched trail stripping sound x10 ... that shit makes me cringe !

<checks locations> Yeah, none of you folks are in the desert states...

The Raptor would be an absolute hoot out in the open sand of Arizona or New Mexico. You'd still get trail striping from the Mesquite trees, but there's no squeal at 50+ mph.

But lets be honest... Those truck get hard parked at the mall as much as most 4Runners. :laugh:
 
[MENTION=155011]JimbroPhotoDotCom[/MENTION] Sounds like it has a nice bass tone at those lower speeds and through acceleration!
Do you notice a difference in your daily driving?

Met [MENTION=103801]sn_85[/MENTION] hooked me up with his old OEM skids, thanks man!

Nice ride and a great canine co-pilot :)
 
Re-aimed my headlights (again). It's crazy how low they came in from the factory. From 25' away they were 14" below the center of my headlights whereas most literature says they should be 2-3" below. I had them at 5.5" below prior to this and now they're at 3" below.

For those curious how well the XD 4300K Philips HID kit lights things up:

Had cornfeed 2"/1" installed at the dealer before it gets put on the transport (still waiting on confirmed date)

Sorry I don't have any control of the picture since I haven't even seen the truck yet :-(

I would trade my 4Runner for a 2017 crew cab raptor in a hot second.

Raptor strikes me as an awesome truck for 2-3 years, not much more. I ONLY have 100k on my truck, looking for 200k. :clock:



On topic, drove it home from work today, snorkel arrives tomorrow, guess I'll tell the wife, maybe.

Appreciate the kind words!!! Glad to let the skids go to a forum member which is better than throwing them in the dumpster.
 
Finally washed off 2 months of bugs, mud, and brake dust off. Interior is still disgusting my dash looks brown from the amount of dust. Found some more chips on my rear bumper also :twitch:

Yesterday morning, just before noon, my wife and I were surprised to see a chicken crossing the street just a few
blocks from our house... a very unusual sight in our suburban neighborhood! Sadly, we were unable to find out
exactly why she crossed the road:
