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

Spent the weekend down on Padre Island National Seashore, did the entire 55 miles out and 55 miles back. Good fishing, good sunshine, good times.

I finished installing my dual battery setup and got my secondary shock reservoir mounted correctly.

I am also going to flip the connections to the other side of the positive terminal to get them away from the hold down cross bar itself.

Next on the list - wire in my Switch Pro and begin setting up accessories

What items do you plan to power off the auxiliary battery?
 
What items do you plan to power off the auxiliary battery?

I plan to tie my Switch Pro into the aux battery to power grill, roof, roof corner, backup and rock lights. Also plan to hook my ARB compressor up to aux battery. Lastly, all communications on aux battery. Currently planning to have winch tied to main battery since it gets preference from Alternator during charging.

Might consider adding a fridge later, but not right now.
 
Looks good, what did you use?

About 7 coats of Rustoleum mat black Flexdip (same/better than plastidip) along with about 3 coats of Flexdip gloss to give it shine.

Was pretty straight forward, like with all painting, most the work is in the prep.

That first picture is AMAZING ! I don't know why but it rocks man you brucking nailed it for me. Also must be the truck next to the ocean and that bomb/buoye ( I don't know how to spell it in english ) lol. What is the tire size on those rubbers ? And what fish did you catch ?
 
Thanks Sebastian, really enjoy your rig as well, those are 35x12.5 Nitto Trails. They are my favorite tire I've ever owned and at 15 PSI they did good on the beach. Not great, but good. Unfortunately we only hooked small black tips, still fun but nothing for dinner!
 
Nice!
Do you recall the model number for the crossbars?

59711 (55")

but I would go with the shorter (51") 59899 instead.

I needed them in a short time and they were about $100 cheaper so I did it. I'm getting a full roof rack next year so didn't want to go too expensive but also wanted something of decent quality. They've held up for 1500 miles so far.

Got rid of 20" limited wheels and installed lvl8 mk6 with Wildpeak at3w 265/70/17.
Earlier plasti dipped front/rear emblems and "Limited" on the side.
Next is to remove sliders and plasti dip roof rails.
