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

Built a roof rack

I built it, and no. it's about 1.5" off the center(highest point). It's 50"x72". I also added a $75 Inno wind deflector.

I washed mine after 2 weeks of neglect. Sometimes i like to keep the look of a coating of dust to show people that I actually go off road. But it rained so my runner looked like trash.
 
Just placed an order for a Gobi Stealth no-rise option rack. Maybe it'll arrive in July? Not in a rush and kinda glad I don't have to pay until then (moving into a new place in April, so money might be unpredictable this next month).

Figure worst case, if for some reason I have to get rid of it, I could find a buyer relatively quickly in Seattle at full-cost since most people don't like the 20 week wait.

Took me 18 weeks so you should get it around July
 
Decided to change wheels

Going to order FN BFD’s 18x9 with 285-65-18 tires...not sure about tires. This is the truck the way I bought it. Fuel wheels with 275-70-18 coopers

I noticed that you have stands in the back but only a jack in the front. I lost a good friend in high school that was pulling a transmission and the car crushed him because the oring failed in the jack. Stay safe.
4R looks great.

4R looks great.

He has jack stands under the front section of the frame where he's working. That's all you need to be safe. Good point made though, NEVER get under any vehicle that's only supported by a jack.

jack stands are in the front under the frame with the front tires under the body as well. the jack is under the lower control arm to raise and lower it while working.

thanks.

Good job brother!
 
Haven't had a chance to clean up yet. Swapped the stock Trail wheels for the FN 6-shooters in matte gunmetal. I'm saving about 9 pounds per wheel and I think they look awesome! Stock suspension and 275/70 KO2s.
