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

Finished the install yesterday, JBA’s, 5100’s all around set at 0 with Wheelers T1 and T12. Caster for days.

Forgot the grease zerks on the bushings:fish:
 
They don't get greased guys. They use OEM Toyota bushings, no grease. Those holes are there to allow air to escape when bushings are compressed.

With that said, don't forget to tighten up that sway bar bracket bolt on the frame!

This was taken mid install, she’s all tight and torqued down now!

Spray painted some cardboard and slid it up in front of the radiator. Left a small section for some airflow. Even 70/30 mixed antifreeze has issues with northern Alaska. Tried to get some photos.

Storm-Trooper style is going to look good on this one. You considering the hood scoop and/or wheel-well trim in black?

Nah. Maybe the fender "flares" but only because they're scraped up from overgrowth out in the forests. Definitely the silver valances and roof rails (if I don't replace the rack before I get to it) though.

Need to find the time to pull the valances off and repaint them myself.
 
Good afternoon all!

Today did some little projects. Was waiting for my friend and as i waiting longer, I became more ambitious.[emoji28] First 20minutes, I decided I would be little productive and replace my rear tailgate rear LED lights with these "plasma" (idk if its actualy), LED looking lights. They were bigger and much brighter. [emoji108][emoji108]

This guy was still not here so I decided to do this little addition after procrastinating over 3 months. Bought these rubber floor things from home depot (was really cheap like $5) and measured and cut them to fit the very back top openings above the rear wheel well. Did not know this but the left and right were different sizes [emoji848] so learn't little something. Completing that, 55minutes have passed.

This ****** was still not here, so decided I would cut my removed mud flaps so I can put them back on ( removed them for the beautiful 285 Falken AT3w on stock height... for now).measured out and cut again. Looks great and glad they were going back on. Idk but having them off, i felt more rocks were flying up scratching my door paint[emoji849][emoji21].

After all this and 1 and a half passing by... i decided i would write this all up. Friend finally came... as i was writing THIS**. Any ways GTG thanks for read all [emoji2][emoji1]

Tranny fun

Followed this thread to do a full 13qt fluid swap. The only thing different on mine(2010 rwd) was the ATF cooler lines to/at the cooler, I was able to use the factory rubber hose off of the metal line, to dump into the catch bucket.(the hose that's zip tied to the rad support)
It's not my DD but I can already tell it shifts smoother, old fluid was brown, I wouldn't say burnt smelling but didn't smell fresh, didn't taste it(sorry Greg)
Lube, oil, filter, prop shaft grease and UCA grease yesterday, momma bear should be set for a while!

Was driving on a nice winding mountain road doing 55 - 60 mph when an older pickup truck pulled out of a side road in front of me. Must have been an old timer because they were not going over 35 - 40. So I backed off and patiently cruised behind them until we came to a short passing zone. Well being that the road was newly paved and I had a long way to go I seized the opportunity and laid into it; well holy crap, not only did it get up and go, dropping from the first passing gear into the second, but it GROWLED! That lil' 4 liter got down right mean and growled like a pissed off mountain lion. It shot around that truck and took off like a bat out of hell. I was too busy paying attention to passing safely to look at the tach but it had be be over 4000. Needless to say I was a little shocked and even more impressed. These little engines have it if when you need it. (I still want the supercharger though.)
