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

It's forecasted to rain tomorrow so what do I do? Wash my car. First bath since I bought her back in October, she looks so nice and clean.

The Last Step

Added the RAGO Ladder Extension. Very nice, just wish the bolts were powder coated.

Dare I ask what happened to your front valance? Trail took a souvenir for itself?

Yep. My front valence rode home in the back of my truck. Luckily I have an SSO Slimline coming in, so I should be thanking the trails for doing the first step for me... Except now I can't sell my old valence.
 
I presure washed all the damn salt off of my 4runner and discovery sport.

Swapped the front bumper valance. Don’t know why it didnt come that way stock - especially since the other accents are black. Tomorrow I’ll do the rear. Looks great - now I’m stuck with TWO dilemmas!!

1) where to mount my ugly MD license plate

2) install my TRD PRO grill or keep it like this. I really like it as it is, especially once the Gobi comes in. :hmm:

Got to mount up and try out our new 1up USA rack. I’ve been putting $ away for a long time for this specific rack. It was also a pleasant surprise that I was able to find a way to secure my son’s 12” balance bike with the right wheel holder adjustments (they state that they can hold as small as. 16” bike, which is my daughter’s size but this was an unexpected bonus).

As much as I love my 1up, I wish they'd make longer arms for the 29ers. I feel better about it if the rollers pressed almost in top of the tire instead of a few inches below top.
 
Installed the new SL1 LED Headlamps I received from Diode Dynamics. Took an evening spin and pleased with the conversion. They match my switchback signals from DD very well and I think the diode beam pattern is spot on sharp, the swath of light they throw is maybe better than the halogens. The colour temp is right what I was looking for so I think I'll convert the fog lamps with their product next. I especially liked the plug and play installation, very easy, everything tucked in nicely behind the dust covers.

Looks great, how’s it mounted?



Thanks. I trimmed the upper grill to fit the light bar into, made mounting brackets from slotted angle pieces, and bolted to existing holes shown in yellow (not my photo).

Agree, and it doesn’t help that my Fisher has a pretty long wheelbase, but I haven’t read of any overall issues with it transporting them. Also it was just as important to be able to carry the small bikes for us. I don’t know if any other hitch rack that can carry less than a 20” wheel.

Installed my marker led lights in grill. Kind of wish I had the trd pro grill but not too bad on an older TE. Thanks to RCO and write up from SWVA!

I got the AUTO-VOX T1400 backup mirror and a camera as well as a USB port for Christmas. Install went pretty smooth, but running the wires around the rear window mechanism was a little tricky. Love the additions though!
