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

Still exploring while on travel for work.

Remembered I had the slide out cargo tray, made it easier with the 50 pound boxes of tile. Wish I had remembered it 5 boxes earlier.

It was a couple days ago, but I finally installed my lift with the help of my good friend Beertimecontinuum over at Tacomaworld. Sorry for the sketchy pics! More to come when I

how does it ride?
 
Picked up my new 2016 TE w/KDSS in Flagstaff, Arizona today. Drove a rental car out from L.A. because Flagstaff was the closest place I could find a KDSS-equipped Trail.

Wasted no time breaking the tamper-proof seal -- took it right from the dealer's lot immediately onto some Forest Service roads which included one pretty challenging one. Even gave the front skid plate its first rock scratch!

So far it's exactly*what I was hoping for!

It's firmer than stock, for sure, but with the compression adjusters set on full soft it rides great and has eliminated a lot of body roll and nose dive(under braking). It's much softer than my friend's Toytec ultimate lift. I have the coilovers set at 8 turns and I'm running Toytec superflex rear coils. My wife is 5 months pregnant and loves it, if that says anything.

Finally had some time to get back to the forum..... threw on my icon kit and wheels/tires. Definitely makes all the difference in the way it sits and looks. Haven't had a chance yet to hit the desert and put it through its paces, but soon.... very soon....

Missed opening day for lakes, but finally got the kayak out for some trout fishing!

Also, this was the first field test for my Thule/Frontrunner adapters. Worked great.

Could not have been a nicer morning.

Stopped by the local dealer and had them program the key fob to roll down all windows when holding unlock, and deactivate the seat belt chime. They had no idea what I was talking about when I told them what I wanted done. I told them to check techstream and they found it, they were like how do you know about techstream...In and out in about 10mins.

I've thought about getting that done, but knowing my luck I'd accidentally hold down the button in my jeans pocket in my office one rainy day and let the truck get flooded.

I could see that happening, but I don't keep my key in my pocket so it should be good. Now my wife on the other hand...
 
Just got my TRD PRO

Good bye 2015 Trail
