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

Tweaked the Rago MSP and very impressed thus far with the design and it's very solid to date, especially after slight spacing on the top mount. I'll run a few small to medium molle bags and keep it simple. not to obstruct the rear view. Overall, nice addition...

Clearly I have missed some new developments while I've been gone. Been wondering when someone was going to make one for the 4runners. Glad I saw this post.
 
Padding suggestions are appreciated. Gotta make sure the wife sleeps well on this trip so she will keep going with me...

That is one clean setup. I would say custom cut 2 stage memory foam at this point. Some thinner soft on top and thicker more dense stuff on the bottom.
 
Popped the hood to jumpstart a buddies Jeep, he was startled to see the mud in the engine bay and said "Woah! You actually take this in the mud?" "Nope, this was just muddy puddles, MUD is coming next week."

Street Jeepers...


Anyway, now to search the forum for how to clean the engine bay... on second thought, maybe I should just start a new thread and call it 'What is you opinion on the most bestest way to clean a TRD PRO, Cement, place where Toyota put the engine thingy?'

Went for a nice ride with the wife, dog and baby last night on some local control roads in Idyllwild CA.

Took a pic of the 4Runner with its most recent mods. Waiting on my Stealth Gobi rack and 40 in Rigid light bar. And here I thought putting money in my Harley was costly = )

Towed too much weight. We all survived, 4R did just fine. Sat a bit more level once i filled the airbags.

Put new shoes on the rig today. TRD wheels and 275/70/17 KO2s. Love how much this changes the look of the car!

Parked next this cement TRD Pro today in Lafayette, Co (to take a pic.) This time last year, I had a deposit on a cement Pro. In the end, decided to keep my '13 and do a few updates. Still like the cement, just wasn't my time.

Well I have not posted up here in a really long time. Always wished I was able to get the scratch together to start the mods on my 5th gen, but alas my poor baby is dead. If any of you ever wondered how safe these 4runners really are look at this picture.

The kid who hit me was in a brand new taco. He ran a red light and was moving awfully fast. I will never nor have I ever had a bad thing to say about my 4runner. We would get another but I need better towing capacity so moving to a truck.

:frusty:
:cheers:
