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

Installed my new license plates. It was a difficult task for a wrench-a-thon weekend.:dancin:

Mirrors

I rather spend the few extra bucks and not have a black stick on mirror on my mirror glass... to each his own

My Titan has a split mirror, 80/20 the bottom is For trailering and blind spots, kinda spoils you. I went with small stick on rectangle one. I only did the drivers side.

What are these?

Blind spot mirrors from autozone

I think they where 10 bucks for 2 of them. I put one on my 4runner and one on my wife’s Navy Range Rover (that is why I got the blue tint) they work great

For those that don't live in rust states, this makes checking spare tire pressure easier. Just drop the spare, flip it over, winch it back up. Not really sure why the factory didn't do it this way to begin with? For those that do live in rust states, you can still do this BUT I would still drop the tire once or twice a year to lube the spare tire winch so it doesn't lock up.

No clue why this forum loves to flip and rotate pictures at random but it is what it is

Added black vinyl hood decal.

I honestly think this is the best thing to do with the hood, and looks sharper than a hood scoop. It works for the Jeep Trailhawk models, and looks clean and unforced -- like covering the whole hood black are going all the way down to the front end. Really, really nice. I'm a designer, if that means anything as well.

I'm surprised more people don't do this.

I also think a glossy black cover of the Rear Spoiler would be quite nice.

Spot mirrors for side view

I think they where 10 bucks for 2 of them. I put one on my 4runner and one on my wife’s Navy Range Rover (that is why I got the blue tint) they work great

I have a 3" round spot for the driver's side mirror and a 3&1/2" round spot mirror for the passenger side mirror. They work great and offer a wide angle of view in a size I can see well from the driver's seat.

Side Exhaust Tailpipe

I converted the exhaust to a side exit tailpipe. It's tucked up close behind the mud flap and right rear tire. I cut a bit of plastic fin on the underside with a utility knife so the tip could be tucked up close. The tip is stainless steel, it's slightly wider and adds some heat dissipation/protection over the plain tailpipe. The SS tip looks good and will not rust like chrome will.

If you get down below your OEM tailpipe you will see that the underside of the frame is not accessible for jacking behind the wheel due to the location of the OEM tailpipe. I noticed when I was installing my lift that I couldn't put a jack stand there either. I'd been wanting this side exit exhaust tip and once I realized I couldn't use that corner of the frame for jacking I had it done. Advance Muffler on Walnut in Pasadena.

In the underside shot you can see the additional tie down loop I added where there were existing bolt threads. I used the same parts that are used on the left rear side to create a 2nd recovery point. With a bridle connected to both points this tie down loop is probably adequate for recovery.

I haven't installed the ICON wheel center caps yet because I'm still working on the wheels and related lift items.

I think the concern is that the valve stem may be knocked off when off road. I flipped mine and put the valve stem closer to the rear axle, hoping it will be less likely to get hit.

I read a few posts where they also recommended lowering the spare and ignored them. After 2 years I finally tried to let it down and it was stuck. Shot a few parts with oil and may check it more often now.

Installed the Gobi rack with a 40" curved LED light bar Rough Country Black Series in front and an 8" rear facing. Pleased that they don't make a lot of noise, can't really hear them at all unless you really try and listen for it.

Kid insisted on climbing on top right away.

Might try and take a heat gun to the Gobi sticker on the wind deflector. Not a huge fan of the branding or logo they have.

Installed some LED License plate lights after the OEMs had burned out... also cleaned the filthy covers!

Finished building a rear platform and workstation pullout. Still need to add a couple L-Tracks for some tie down points.
