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

Got some work ahead of me prepping the msp from rago, rusted and crusted edition, but nothing badass comes without some hard work and sweat! Powder coat drop off on Monday.
Lil man loves the bottle opener! [MENTION=139789]RagoFabrication[/MENTION] thanks for all the extra packing, lil man hasn't had his first Christmas, so this was a great introduction of what's to come!!

Just installed new tires. BFG KO2 285/70/17. Now to start trimming to eliminate rub.
Looks so much better.

Started my blackout project. Painted the front grill flat black. And...had my new FN fx Pro wheels installed with BFG KO2's. I decided to stay with stock size tires as a future lift will just be to raise the front with slight rake. Love the wheels.

Drove mine home today!

Picked up a 2016 4runner Trail with only 13,950 on the ODO! This'll be my 3rd Runner, my 1st V6 though. Looks like the previous owner had seat warmers installed. Looking to put on some running boards so the wife can step on in (she's short), and id like some TRD rims with an aggressive tread for the winter roads here in MA.

It's great to be back!!!

On a separate note, question for everyone: What service do you use to store your photos you guys n gals share on here? I used to use Photobucket, but now they want $60 to share picture-links any bigger than the one above.
 
Brought home my wife's new 2017 T4R TRD OR, the next morning upon removal of the dealer installed license plate frame bracket, I found this.

The dealership is roughly 2.5 hours away so I had to find a quick fix.
Used the old Dremel to grind down the rough edges.
Found some leftover retaining clips, and capped off the holes.
I might color match the clips later, but this will hold my wife's OCD for now.

What mount is this? did you need to remove everything to attach it? Also, what are the clips you are using to route the wires?

Thanks.

Mark

Mark,

I'll post a brief write up of this after church. However, I did have to remove some of the center stack and the installation did require drilling 2 small holes for the mount.

More to follow,

-Chris

Glad I saw this. recently installed a winch with a license plate bracket so it exposed those oem license plate bracket holes and I hate the look. Will definitely go this route. Thanks!

Got my SCS Brushed Bronze wheels on. Turned out great. I'm loving the look. Tired of seeing black wheels on every vehicle now days. Feel like it's getting played out.

Fixed my first major mechanical break down. The rear window spray stopped working. The problem was broken windshield washer fluid pipe just under the hood. Reconnected the broken pipe and now the flow is back.

I suspect it was my fault for not flushing all lines with "winter type fluid" before moving to Poland from California. I guess iced over summer fluid cracked the pipe.
 
Got back from Nevada

Met some ladies at the head of the Slinkard Fire (note retardant on ridge behind them), appreciated some Basque tree art, drifted the playa, and finally found the Hill of a Thousand Tombs. Two epic days in western Nevada.

Looks great. Did you get them from the SCS website or a vendor? Found someone in WA (?) that had them, but they were only willing to sell them in a set of five.

Thanks! No I got them from SCS website the day they dropped em. I bought 5. I just figured if anything happens to one of them I wouldn't be able to get another since it was a limited edition run.
