The audio shop I took it to had a body shop do it. They got the same 3-stage paint that Toyota uses (black layer, speckle layer, clear coat) and took 4 days to finish it.
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

I'm cheating since this was a few days ago, but here she is towing the little trailer home from a week of camping on the Kern River.

I just recently swapped out the Icon 2'' rear springs for the Toytec Superflex HD spings.
I got an additional inch of lift in the rear (unloaded), and additonal weight/load capacity. I can now load it up fully without getting into a reverse rake situation (and blinding people with my HID's).
They also ride better unloaded than I was expecting, so I'm happy with the change.
My height #'s before (unloaded):
Front: 23.375
Rear: 23.75
After:
Front: 23.375
Rear: 24.75

Took the wife and kiddos out to explore and we found a fire lookout on the map, so we headed that direction.
Luckily it was staffed today and we were able to go up into the cabin portion and the Ranger explained everything to the kids.
Again, pleased with the 4Runner. Aired down to about 20PSI after a few hundred yards on the road, and that made the ride so much better.

It does, fortunately we are fine, deer not so much.

A year's worth of hits
Temporarily took off my skid plate, because I was curious about how it's doing and how effective it has been. Plus I've got a new can of metallic blue rattlecan. I found two bolts missing: one from the skid plate, the other from the plastic piece in front of it.
So here's another view of the first year in my new 5th gen:

Oh man bummer, saw your post, glad everyone is okay. Bright side if you wanted a plate bumper...
ToyotaCare oil change perhaps?
Got back from a quick visit to the big blue lake in the sky, seemed a good time to lube/oil/filter, and finally mounted that fire extinguisher.
