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

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:

Went looking for quartz crystals...

...and found snow. Do you know how hard it is to find white quartz on a snowy day?

Pulled trigger on new King lift

Well, no turning back now. After much reading...to much reading, I decided to go with King coilovers up front and King shocks for rear with Wheelers T10 rear coil springs and Camburg UCA's up front (and diff drop). The rear coil springs are a replacement for the Sway-A-Way 1.5" lift springs, which seem to be discontinued. Thinking about setting the front coilovers at 2.5 inches along with the 1.5" rear coil lift. Hoping that will leave me a bit tail high to level. King's are 4-6 weeks out, so still more time to learn. I am running 275 KO2's and hope that will be a good set up. I am stoked and can't wait! Any advice / suggestions appreciated.

Wheelers t12 are the same as the discontinued SAW could but give approx 2+" of lift without 3rd row. T13 give a true 1.5". Dobinsons also offers a 1.75" rear coil. Never heard of t10 for 5th gen.

Sounds like you have a nice setup going. Congrats!

Thanks for the correction Cymon. I just double checked and they are indeed the T13's. Do you know if that will still leave me with a small tail high rake...hoping about 1/2 - 1 inch?
 
My fiance is a helicopter mechanic, so today we brought home a retired main rotor blade to hang in our house

Took a new Helinox cot max convertible in trade for some gear...did a test fit....this thing fits with the front passenger front seat in the forward position and no need to remove the rear seat bottom. Just need the right leg length and you would have a fully level cot that is removable and weighs a mere 8lbs.

I may have to pick up a cot for solo trips, after my rtt it's hard to sleep on the ground if I'm not backpacking and the rtt is just overkill for one person. I dig it.

It should, but that's the great things about an adjustable coilover. If it's not what you want...adjust! :thumb:
 
Sometimes it's nice to get a little reminder of how much your vehicle has changed. The one on the left is almost identical to mine when I first bought it (only difference is mine had the power running boards)

Looks like Round Rock Toyota Service?
 
Hit the trails about 10min from the house, flew through some very loose sugar sand due to lack of rain. Truck rides awesome, who needs a side by side.

Winner, winner, stalker dinner. ;-)

Dropped it off for an oil change and some other items that were due. I usually do the "other stuff" but I actually have all my skids off at the moment. Their prices for that stuff were extremely reasonable as well. They've done almost 100% of my scheduled maintenance since 2003 and have always taken care of me.
