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

Since i do not like the trd shift knob, i replace it with an oem FJ Cruiser knob. It was a perfect match and no more feeling like driving a bus anymore! I also installed the black chrome exhaust tip. In my opinion, it looks better than the oem tip. It is shorter and more oval looking. Enjoy!

You do the brake calipers yourself? That looks clean.

Today I washed and waxed Rogue then I ordered first a Borla CAT Back exhaust, AFE CAI and lastly a URD MAF CAL. It's going to be very busy the next few days!

I was going to do a lift (Toytec Ultimate lift) n new shoes (285's) but it was less cost to go this route first.

Cleared a couple more downed trees

I think the Forest Service needs help this year. But maybe I need to leave the saw at home next trip. When you're OCD, it's just one more branch, then just one more, oh and then trim off that edge.... Revisited one of my favorite petroglyph sites, too. This dude's hiding right off of I80 near Cisco.

Drove 500 miles round trip to my son's baseball tournament. Spent fathers day at the ball park. Had a blast. Then got home and found more paint chips from rocks I guess. I have excepted it now cuz there is nothing I can do about it. :frusty:
 
For the back i looped it underneath the tray. There's a bar. I piggy backed the straps to make it longer

Came back from 1400mile trip, the fridge never moved around. Stayed running for 2days, stock battery in 100+ weather.

Are you able to use the sliding tray as usual?
 
Installed Lift:

Fox 2.5" Extended Travel Coilovers and Total Chaos UCAs up front
Icon 2" Lift Springs and Fox 2.0" shock absorbers in the rear.

285/70 Nitto Trail Grapplers on order, should be here any day :rockon:

Meanwhile, it looks WAY the hell up there on the stock tires! :)

Installed anti tailgating device and some used Yakima Railgrab and 48" roundbars. Looking for anyone with pics of baskets, Yakima Load/Mega Warrior, or suggestions of baskets. Don't have the $ for a full length roof yet so this will have to do for now.

Thanks!

Rides a bit firmer, which is welcome given how sloppy the stock suspension is.

Sitting at 23" front, 24" rear (center hub to fender) both sides...didn't measure before but based on what I've seen from others this is just about 3", maybe a tad more. CVs look fine, no rubbing of the boot ribs.

New wheels and lift

Had a 2.5" Daystar lift, 20" Rockstar 2, 275X60R20 TERRA Grappler2. The front isnt leveled with the rear, its bugging me a bit, but oh well.

I drove it home and immediately started looking at mod ideas! This is my first 4runner and I couldn't be happier!

Made my adventure loving coworkers jealous by scoring the pole position parking stall so everyone can see the tell-tale sign of a good time; orange tires.
