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

To make yours feel better, I gotcha beat... my wife played catch with a chunk of metal off an 18 wheeler. We were only a day into our road trip

A week after about $600 in light upgrades... sad day

Where did you get the LED strip light for above the fogs? That is a GREAT look.

Got wheels/tires/lift/lights installed! Definitely feeling a little more weight, and damn she sits MUCH higher than my 4th gen. Loving the look though!

Got new Radio Installed and had them match the radio kit to factory trim color.

Alpine ILX-207.
Alpine KAC-001 ( For Future use to turn on lights, winch etc from radio ) Waiting on Bumper from C4 Fab.
Maestro Idatalink.

They did a surprisingly good job of matching.

How do you like the ILX-207? The Wireless CarPlay of the ILX-107 is awesome, but that's basically the only functionality it has, so I'm considering swapping to the 207.
 
jrandom, thanks and ya, can't see shit out at night but its awesome during the sunny days, i need heat reduction and privacy for my dogs. Visors are AVS from amazon, about $60. IMHO best ones on the market as far as style and performance.

Thanks! If they let us tint fronts darker than 85% I would, lol not 5% but I'd do 50% for sure. :) Handsome "hounds" BTW
 
Thanks J! I don't know about your state but in WA you can actually get a note from your optomertist to run tint on front windows (you are not allowed any at all I believe), but per RCW...revised code of Washington there is a caviat that if you have a "doctors note" then you may in fact tint fronts. Something to look into maybe.
 
We went for a quick overnight camping trip.

Stormed like crazy through the night, but our BigAgnes kept us dry, and the CampingLab awning made for a nice dry spot out of the rain in the morning.

Wheeled with my buddy who has a HEEP, I mean Jeep (with factory locker & 37's). He's a good dude though & he was surprised to see how capable my runner is (especially with only a 2" lift and 265's)

Installed my front runner rack. Yes I drilled holes, yes it was scary, and yes it is necessary. I really don't think this would be sturdy without the front brackets mounted. Love the looks! Gobi ladder on order.

Got some tint done today. Still researching a lift, but all the talk about the KDSS lean has me struggling to make a solid decision.

Just do it! It's by far the best mod on my vehicle. I have KDSS, I installed the lift myself. I have no lean. I didn't have to use any spacers either. It will be worth it.
 
Just finishing up a 1000+ mile road trip, national parks, light off-roading included.

I'll update my build thread this week but one nice camp spot...

Whatever you do don't let him drive your 4Runner on washboard or you'll never see it again.. quickest way to make a Jeep driver convert!
 
Went to Champlain N.Y. to get my winch. The thing is I ordered a 8.500lb and I received a 9.500lb ... won't complain tough

Day 9 of our 1month road trip.

Just arrive in Colorado

Going to pickup my suspension from Slee Monday and then I have to find a place to install it myself, since everyone if booked or excessively expensive.

First time I'm doing a suspension install, it's gonna be interesting.
 
After a long couple weeks finally felt healthy enough again to hit a few trails in NJ and take care of some trail badges afterwards

Blacked out the rear chrome.

The kit was so well maid, the plastic tape covers even have a little tab to make it easy to peel.
