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

Installed ARB twin compressor on Bandi mount. Still need to wire up the switch.

Removed running boards on '11 LE. Wow, looks way better.

Chased down a very slow leak in one rear tire. Carmax gave me two new tires after my purchase and about every two weeks my TPMS would light up with about 25lbs in one tire. Couldn't find a nail. This went on for over a month now. So I closely inspected it again, put leak detector around both beads. Checked the valve stem core. Loosened and re tightened it a couple time. It was tight.

Finally I checked the nut that holds the TPMS to the wheel and it was a bit loose. I hope that fixes it.

Installed Anytime Backup Cam harness and switch.
 
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.

Your dad is a badass!
 
Found a tranquil parking spot along the south eastern banks of Lake Superior...

Okay, that's the short version. I am working on my first "adventure" post in my build thread detailing the 963 mile round trip weekend with three kids, GF, and first go around playing in DEEEEEEP uphill sand!

Bought these great bits for my TRD Faux from [MENTION=110639]Veet Skeet[/MENTION]. Thank you sir, it was a pleasure. Then had lunch on the beach before heading home along Indian Truck Trail. Kids joked it was our first time off road with the new suspension. Technically, it was.

Love the chunkiness of your ride. I am gonna make similar mods. Also like how you left the toyota symbol chrome and blacked out the strip. Looks pro



Thanks man! I like the simple but different look that it has. Mines a limited so I had to do something to give it a more rugged sporty look.

Blacked Out Projector Headlights

My man @ozzymosis99 built me these rad blacked-out projector headlights. Removed the orange marker shield and now it's looking even more bad ass with the black-on-black look.

Installed a snorkel and 15x Expanders from AllTerrainConcepts to fill the 30" light bar section on the Pelfreybilt Front Bumper. I can't even explain how bright and the distance of throw these have. Truly impressive. These guys keep the manufacturing costs low and put that towards high quality led and led boards. They have some very interesting things coming out for the 5th Gen. Also cleaned up the Switch Pro wiring and engine bay in preps for the Lucas Oil Offroad Expo where the truck will be at the Magnuson Superchargers booth this weekend in Pomona.

How did you go about removing the steering wheel trim? Does it just pop off or do you have to take apart the steering wheel?

Also, it looks the little bezel around the stereo buttons can be removed as well, I didn't know that!

The airbag has to be removed to get to two screws holding the steering wheel trims in.

As for the radio that was a lot more work though now that I did it I could do one pretty quickly
