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

Hobbled outside and turned her over to get the juices flowing. Another three weeks in crutches and it can't come soon enough.

Dang, that sux...

Can you tell me about the gauge and the switches? Get better soon. I'm sure your trucks misses you too.

Thanks man. It's a dual voltmeter and a pair of rocker switches wired in-line so I can turn the meter off and not have to worry about parasitic loss. The voltmeter pops into the factory holes in the dash, cut slots in a blank/knockout for the switches. The meter pulls almost nothing but I like safeguards. It's worked cause in this case the the aux battery is still at what I left it at back in June. I'll have to put in in my build, did that voltmeter like a year ago now.

What did you use for the fogs? I tried Lamin-x but it won’t stay flush

Check out my build thread for the full details. But essentially it's generic Amazon yellow film. Pretty sloppy job to be honest...didn't take out the fog light or the bezel. More of a test run to see if I like the look of the yellow because I'm planning on going the Squadron Pro Route soonish.

c4 Lo Pro Bumper and Sliders .. Baja Design Fog lights

Oh man, so awesome. Love that bumper! Did you get in on the group buy? I purchased the bumper with the low loop and the same light bar through the GB.

How do you like that light bar by the way? I haven't been able to find a review on it anywhere and chose it on faith alone.

Also X20 winch?

Might aswell add what I did today too.

Drove down to Co. Springs and picked up my Hefty Fabworks sliders in person! The guys down there were really nice and we had a nice little chat before I drove back up to Denver for the install.

I wiped down my frame rails and hit them with a quick coat of rustoleum for a little peace of mind. Coated the bolts in antiseize and on everything went. Install took about an hour or so and that's only because I was taking my time.

Btw their lead time was pretty accurate. They quoted me 8 weeks and sure enough that's exactly how long it took.

Anyway here are some pics:

Those look great! I'm looking at sliders right now, but I am looking for the lightest option. Schrockworks is the current leader at 45lbs per side. Any chance you know how much those Hefty Fabs weigh? Thanks!

Thanks man. I really like the way they look too! I'm impressed with them so far. I ran out of day light before finishing both sides so I'll really get a good look at them tomorrow.

Anyway, I believe before they changed up their website they listed each slider at 50 lbs. So 100lbs total for the pair. I didn't get a chance to weigh them personally though.

Like you, I'm trying to be conscious about weight. That said though, I wanted a 'step' style slider to make getting in and out of the lifted truck easier and most of the step style sliders will weigh a bit more than the minimalistic ones.

Just lifted the limited with bilstein 6112/5160. getting new wheels and tire tomorrow fuel 20x9 with ko2 275.55.20. Thanks for the guys that help me out..

Picked up a harbor freight 1.5 ton jack on sale for $59 since the stock jack is useless to me and I don't want to dick with a highlift. So Now I need to make a skid plate for it, a quick release mount, and add a couple quick fists for the handles. If only I had the factory sliding tray.

Also word of advice the jack doesn't go high enough to lift from the axle tube, pumpkin maybe but I heard that's no good. But it can lift from the link mount but I plan on making a removable extension.

Here's the coupon just take a photo of it with you phone and they can scan the barcode off the phone

Floor jacks are the way to go for the majority. Not quite the cool factor as a Hi-Lift but way safer.

I really want to get one of these for my 4Runner https://proeagle-products.com/products/aluminum-floor-jack-00000

Hey, No I purchased without the GB. the light bar isn't that good compared to Baja design fog lamps. I would suggest spending extra and go with baja design light bar and leave the fog lamps stock and yes it's x20 10k winch.
