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

Wasn't done today.... forgot to post.... actually was more lazy then anything....

Did the amber marker lights in the grill today. Dont have the TRD Grille so only have 2 in but when I get the grille a third will be added. (pictures come later when I decide on making a build/story thread)

I also did the wheel well storage mod the same day and added my Paracord handles for easier opening of said trays.

Added an Arkon seat rail mount (22" goose neck) for the cellular device last night. Quite like it and the woman likes it as she can swivel it around for her to use. (debating on getting the tablet mount so she has something to do on long trips)
 
Today I watched a video my brother made of our last car camping overlanding trip to Capital Reef national park. We had a really good time.

Thank you dannybz for showing me this mod.

I'll be adding trd center caps to my TE wheels. Wheel spacers are required due to size of the center cap.

Added a N-fab sticker on the rear spoiler and installed the switchback led white signals with amber turn signals.

Which bulbs did you use and do you get hyper flash?
 
Installed the Toyota OEM blackout kit. Gotta say, the quality of these covers is absolute trash. Way over priced china made garbage. Shame on Toyota, I expected way more than crazy thin super flimsy plastic.

Could I trouble you for the link to the bulbs you bought?


Here you go my friend:

If you are getting the resistors to avoid hyper flash, you need to tap the wires. On the driver side, tap the yellow and black/white wires. On the passenger side, tap the blue and white wires. Make sure you use 3m tape to mount the resistors on metal surface since they will get hot! I hope this helps.
 
Finally got some decent weather to install Magnum Steps and finished my storage box. My thanks to Matt for his ideas and Antman for his as well.
Earlier work included a Gibson Exhaust, XenonDepot interior and backup LEDs, Smitty Built D Rings and Rear Step.

You turned my world upside down.
 
Two months, 3,700 miles, several off-roading and mountain/snowboarding trips later, I took the 4R in for its first (much needed) car wash. There's so much tire polish that it looks like I drove through an oil slick :D

My front bumper had the license plate holes. I filled them up with some body filler, sanded, primed and flat black-ed that silver piece. Gained at least 5 HP from this mod alone.

I sent it with my wife... she was going to meet her friend at a restaurant next to the mall for dinner. It made perfect sense, I mean I have a Limited and all...
