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

Detailed it, applied Ceramic Pro 9H to the exterior, treated all interior with Ceramic Pro interior chemical, and applied Diamon Fusion to the glass. Fluid film application next week... bring on winter, I’m ready!

Gobi rack and ladder should be here soon and sliders are getting ordered for a Black Friday gift! Getting there...

Swapped the white driving/combo Squadron Sports for amber wide/cornering Squadron Pro's into the fog position and added another set for ditch lights via SDHQ's bracket...

Now I'm ready for a trip to the snow...if my family ever gets over the current flu/bug going around.

Looks sweet!

The last time I tried to use a buffer to wax a vehicle I ended up leaving a permanent mark on the hood. That was also about 35 years ago, I suspect the technology in buffers has improved a bit since then.

BTW - I hate you, now I need to get more stuff to make my ride shiny...

:lol:
 
Looks good! Do you mind sharing the minor hiccups you ran into? I plan on ordering the same rack soon.

So the rack comes with 6 metal risers. 5 of the 6 sit into the slots perfectly, except for one. I had to use a angle grinder, grind it down multiple times until it fit in there, then spray paint it again real quick (would of been a lot easier and faster if I had a bench grinder). Besides that everything was pretty straight forward. Drilling and installing the rivnuts was actually the easiest part of the installation surprisingly.

However, you may not have this issue. I have a couple of buddies with the same rack and their risers all fit in with no issues. Let me know if you have any questions, glad to help anyway I can.
 
Added husky weatherbeater

IMO, and I've owned both weathertech and now these husky weatherbeater, the husky seem to have a better material for grip and the raised ridge design make it easier to clean.

Oh man, that sucks! Pesky little rodents. Thats one of my biggest fear is rodents chewing up my wires. Insurance going to cover it? Let us know how the repairs go...

I had WT in my last 2 trucks, I've been waiting to pull the trigger on these huskies, they just seem better quality and have better coverage, I don't like the big gap that WT mats seem to have at the base of the seat, and I'm a big dude so my seat is always all the way back.
 
New Rubber

FINALLY ditched the TGs and picked up a set of 285 Cooper Discoverer STT Pros.
I couldn't generate any rub in my parking lot attempts but thinking there may be some plastic trimming in my future once I get these where they belong.

Where did you get this done? I've been looking at getting a ceramic coating since my wife has commandeered the garage.
 
Added 4 5100s, front at 2.5", and KO2 275/70/17. Wanting to find a 1" spacer for the rear to level it out.

Unfortunately, there aren't really any aftermarket wheels that I think look good. The only ones that get close are the Fuel Vector wheels but I haven't really seen any pictures of 4Runner's running those in 17s and I don't like being a guinea pig with my money lol

I've been eyeing these wheels myself. Did you ever find any pics of 4Runners with these wheels?
