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

Timing is everything... was about 100 yards away when I saw the branch fall

Nice.

How long did it take you to swap them out?

Longest part was probably taking the bumper off being it was a first time for me and I didn’t want to snap anything. Though you can apparently do it without taking the bumper off.

After that it was super easy. Unbolt the current ones, bolt in the new ones. Plug it in and put the bumper back on.

I’d say total time it probably took me an hour tops. Probably could do it in 35-45 now that I know how easy it is to take the bumper off.
 
I drove for over an hour trying to find some 2track roads that we used to drive on. Instead all I found was paved streets and private driveways! Jeeez it's only been 30 yrs. or so.
 
Icon Stage 2 installed today.

Icon Stage 2 installed today. 285/70/17 Duratracs. Next on the list are wheels. Rides good but the steering doesn't seem quite right. Steering doesn't want to return to the center like it use to. My lifted Tacoma didn't have this issue..... I didn't get the alignment spec. May need to ask for it.

I made some tabs that install behind the cargo area garnet hooks.

Didn't feel like spending the money on the fancy FJ d-rings, so I made my own version.

Thanks.

I was just looking under the hood at the light location and wondering how the heck to get to them.

Get some UCAs. Caster will help with the return to center.
