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

Lift support depot heavy duty hatch struts. Great customer service, one had a chip in it and they sent a replacement pronto.

I'd say find one soon, and have him check the work done by the first guy.

Gees that, exactly.

You know, is it just me or are we seeing this quite a bit, over torquing and breaking studs? Could it be these studs are kinda crap too? I mean I beat the crap out of the studs on my hilux for 25 years and didn't break a single one, my old Subaru on the other hand.

Made a custom mount for my Garmin nuvi 6". Made it out of kydex.. Heated, molded to fit.
Removed the head unit to hide the wires, installed a 12v socket near internal fuse box.

I have the factory nav. But it sucks and I'll be damned if I pay $400 to update it. My Garmin has lifetime map updates AND my backroads map book offroad maps on it too.

Mount is. 08 kydex heated to 400 degrees and molded to GPS and mount location.

Not a professional job but I'm happy!!! GPS is removable (Velcro inside mount to hold GPS firm). I don't miss the clock. Just added clock to my Garmin screen. Nothing permant... Very stable.

LOVE the location!!!!!

Drove down to California yesterday to purchase this M100 trailer. Super nice guy we bought it from who took the time to show us everything. He did a really good job with the build and had a sweet 4Runner that I unfortunately did not get pictures of.

Excited to start doing some trips with it! :dancin:

Had to include the picture of my dad trying to act like a badass.

Took the diff drop off. No differece with it on or off. Put my skids back on. They didn't fit well with diff drop on. Gave it a bath.

Diff drop does help front CV angles quite a bit but it's not needed. I'm at 3" up front with no drop and no issues. Did the same with my 2016 Tacoma with no issues. Maybe down the road the CV shafts will wear faster but i'm OK with that. Just upgrade to the HD shafts when that time comes.
 
Popped our 4Runner's towing cherry with our 20ft. powerboat and single axle trailer. Handled it like a champ!

No diff breather yet!

Yesterday I bought it. This morning I installed some nerf bars so my short, pregnant wife can climb into it more easily.

I hope that is not a part of your truck still back there in the mud.
Nope! Not this time. There is alot of truck body part around this trail.

I also lost my front bumper valence few months ago while water crossing in that trail, that's what make me bought this bumper.
