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

Installed the C4 Lo Pro Bumper:

Been there. Done that. Back in October.

I was following a GX470 that had 2-3" lift over my stock suspension. My friend told me not to follow over the Ham radio but unbeknownst to me, the battery had gone dead so I didn't hear him. I put the differential between a rock and a hard place. Had to put rocks under the rear wheels to get out.

Otherwise it was an interesting trip through BLM lands. It's sad how much non-degradable garbage and shell casings there are out there from all the knuckleheads using bottles and metal trash for targets.

Yep. Broken glass at every campsite too. I'm always worried for my dog because he likes to roam around. We always come back with a lot more trash than we make.
 
Drove to Houston on Thursday to pick up our Shrockworks front bumper. Went ahead and used my wife's help to install it. Took us about 4 hours to do. The instructions are horribly worded and they need a crap ton more pictures.






2 questions for people who have this bumper? What type of 3/4" clevis shackles did you use? I thought I could get them cheaper then from Shrockworks, but can't. Also It says to drill holes for some kinda safety bolts to install but I don't understand the instructions and there are no pictures.

This looks cool!! what's the coordinates to this spot or what is this area called?

Not absolutely sure where we were at because we were pretty lost at this point haha. but I believe we were out in Anza Borrego and I believe if I had to guess, we were on the Hills of the Moon Trail.

We had started at The Slot (in the parking lot)

After we hiked the Slot, we left there back towards the main road and made a left to go towards Buttes Canyon instead of making it back to toward the main road. This let us out into a pretty big wash. We were trying to take the back way through the washes and dirt roads up to Font's point but somehow we ended up below there in the hills.

If I had to guess we were probably somewhere around here to start to get back into that windy road in the photos.

It looks just like the photos I have seen of Hills of the Moon.
Lots of rad little trails back there though. The further we got back in there the more narrow and crazy it got but where we turned around there were definitely still tracks going back.

Hopefully that helps a little bit! Tons of places to be explored out in Anza Borrego though if you have never been out there!

Shrockworks instructions:
Step 1. Remove factory bumper
Step 2. Install shrockworks bumper
 
This last weekend, the 4R was loaded with multiple firearms and training materials and traveled to a classroom and firing range. We ( LEOs, attorney, SWAT trainer, several other certified instructors) volunteered our time and taught a 16 hour firearms class.

Last month, we traveled to teach a couple of specialized weekend classes involving church and school security personnel.
 
Yesterday, I had 35% Suntek CXP tint installed on the front Windows. Not a perfect match to the stock backs inside or out, but the sun rejection is great.

Looks great!

Can't wait to install mine, how hard was the bumper removal?

Thanks! Not very hard at all, I was able to do it completely by myself. I left the center bolt under the hood in until the very end so it stayed put while I was popping it out of the tracks. I was working in the cold so I tried to be extra careful with the plastic and it was fine.
