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

[Dallas_T4R]

Installed my Toytec 3" lift

How do you like the Level 8 MK6 rims? I'm seriously considering those in black, VTX Outlaw or TRD Pro rims.

 

[K9 HAULR]

For the badges.

You mean the ones I'll probably pull of the truck before I ceramic pro the paint or the front TOYOTA lettering/grill that's already gone?

:lmao:

New rubbers installed today. Looking forward to testing them out.

 

[Bodie the Dog]

Vandalized the local Christian men's camp sign

At least I didn't move it to point down a 4lo road this time. I cannot stand the whole Promise Keeper thing.

Oh, and I caught air for the first time today. These 5th gens really try to stick to the ground.

I love them. From the price point, to the offset, how they look, and the fact that OE TRD center caps fit them.

Installed my Toytec 3" lift

Did you go with the Boss, the Ultimate, or the regular non-adjustable 3" Toytec lift?

Looks great!

I installed some cargo tie downs on my sliding rear cargo tray. Best $6 I have ever spent on the 4runner. Easy mod, didn't take any time at all to complete with minimal tools.

Non-adjustable. I already had the 5100's, so I just did the springs with the 1/2" spacer up front. I'll be adding ~85lbs to the nose when my winch comes in so it should drop the front 1/4-1/2", which is fine by me.

Baseball is the greatest game. I hope your sons continue to enjoy it for many years like mine has. My son now has a chance to make it his career. Cooperstown was a highlight of the trip for us and we want to go back. The whole town is about baseball. We loved it. Hopefully we can go again some day and if we do we want to spend a couple days there instead of only one. Definitely take your sons there when they get a little older. Or....they play a lot of little league tournaments there at the All-star village. Could be a great excuse to get them both there in the near future.

We stayed in Oneonta and it was a perfect split between Cooperstown and the Unadilla Motocross National. It was our first time to the state of New York. Not the city.....What a pretty state there is outside of that city.

The Dragon is fun and this is my second time to that area. This time there was a big police presence and they were handing out tickets on the dragon. I think it had something to do with the eclipse. There was also a teen missing in the area who was thankfully, later found.

Also on our way down the dragon (we did it both ways) we came across a guy who wrecked and they were trying to get his bike back on the road. Then we saw a tree that had a memorial around it. So maybe things have been getting crazy there and the police are trying to stop the insanity. The best road in that area is the Cherohala Skyway and the few that off shoot from it. Forty miles of just awesome motorcycle heaven road :biggrin2: It's my favorite.

i have to be honest, every time I think it would be cool to ride the Dragon I think about all of the great roads in my immediate area, and I quickly lose the urge.

My older son plays football as well and loves it but I don't expect his size to catch up with his enthusiasm for it; his build is much better suited for baseball. I hope he and his brother both stick with it - would be a great experience to go to Cooperstown.

Got back from a baseball themed, 7 state, roughly 2400 mile, road trip in seven days with my son. It was epic...Then went on a 700 mile motorcycle trip. Good times. The 4 is such a great road trip vehicle.

PNC Park, the view!

 

[Orlyg1521]

ended up going back to 285/70-17, the 75's were just too big: rubbed when compressed/turned. MPG dropped from 14.6 to 12.3, louder whine on road, not enough performance gain to warrant the swap. Discount Tire honored their 30 day guarantee to return the 4 tires.

This was yesterday but service was shite. Getting sendy out in Capitol Reef NP.

 

[2016 4Runner SR5]

Hit 5K miles yesterday so time for oil change #2 today! Tire rotation also of course.

 

[JPK Omaha]

Pro Traxx 4 nerf bar steps and Westin bull bar

Installed Westin Pro Traxx 4 nerf step bars, and Westin E-series bull bar on my 2017 SR5. Photos here: https://goo.gl/photos/eVazgu8BrjxczCWe8

Sorry to keep bugging you, Badmeat...one more quick question:

Why the 1/2 inch spacer up front? I guess I thought the non-adjustable Toytec front coilovers were already 3" lift?

Thanks!

Took my front bumper off to adjust my lightbar.

Slipped out of my hands when it was almost fully off and I ended up breaking one of the H16 fog bulbs off, in the ****ing housing.

20 minutes taking out all the screws and removing the bumper. 45 minutes with needle nose pliers trying to orientate and then remove the bulb from the housing.

Turned what was an otherwise easy and routine job, to a temporary nightmare.

My 4Runner is getting some "spa time" - 3M clearing what's left of the nose, inside of door grabs, back of mirrors, a 6" strip across the front/roof for the Gobi fairing, and bottom half of rear lift gate. Also having windows treated with the ceramic tint/heat reducing film.
