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

Actually yesterday but some fun from the weekend.

Came down off the mountain to help dad buy and load a new kayak home. I used it as an excuse to fill up with ethanol free stuff! Last time I got a full tank of ethanol free was 2 years ago back in Oklahoma.
 
Made it a slick top, then gave it a rack. Didn't have time to put the ladder on before dark.

Mine is over 120k miles and the spark plugs were never changed, so it was the time. This was my first "mechanical" work ever by self, so kinda feel proud.

Good on you! Some cars are easy, others are an absolute pain in the ass. I've had experience with both. How was this one for you? Break anything?

Swapped out some of the coolant for concentrate to try to lower the freezing point. Think I'm right around the 70/30 ratio now. Going to check the freeze point with a refractometer tomorrow.

Then I pulled her out of the garage and reveled and how beautiful the black roof rails are in contrast to the running boards. Very happy with the looks right now.

It took me about hour and a half or two. The only reason it took so long is because I had hard time unplugging the contacts/wire clips. One of the plugs is located in not so easy to reach location and it was the hardest. Overall it would be very easy.
On my old car (2003 Infiniti i35) a shop quoted me for $600 to change plugs since 3 are easy to reach and the other three you would need to take half engine apart, so I never changed it.
 
Took the T4R up to our land in NE OK....played with the 4 Low and the decline assist on some of the big hills...not sure I needed to decline assist ultimately but it worked well.

Also, first long road trip in the truck...awesome HWY performance (19.5 mpg) and then right into hill crawling...

- added the LaminX fog covers prior to leaving

Broke in the Engine

Not today but yesterday...
Finished breaking in the engine on a trip back from LA.
Picked it up with 4 miles, got it to 1200 in a week...

Don't know if you noticed anything. But when I changed mine last week at 160K it was like driving a brand new truck. Better throttle response, less struggling on acceleration. Love it.
 
Husky mats for me too

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.

Me too! Added those exact mats to my 4runner yesterday as well. They look just like your pics, so I'll skip that step.
 
Decided to spend 10 days exploring Baja and driving the SCORE Baja 1000 race course (after the race....).

It was rough...but someone had to do it.
