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

Installed my Console Vault

Sure wish I could have found a YouTube video... It was a real head scratcher! :couch2:

Super easy, fit well, looks very well made. :yo:

First foray into Plastidip...

Eventually I hope to replace the ugly silver lower bumper valance on my TRD Off Road with a hybrid bumper from SSO, CBI, or Warn, so I figured I would spend $6 and try my hand at plastic-dipping the plastic valance. This came out surprisingly well and completely improves the look of the front end in my opinion.

Before and After Pics...

Picked it up and brought it home.:reddance:

I would post a photo but it looks EXACTLY like every other 2018 White Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium.
 
At 111,000 miles one of my DRL’s/signal bulbs went out. The upside is given the rci skids and having taken the air dam off I can slide right under the front and reach up and around to put a new bulb in...

Now if I can just fix the driver brake light. (It’s not the bulb)

Nice.. been on the fence on the snorkel

What's the drive like? Any changes in wind noise, sound, power...etc.

No difference in driving dynamics or anything like that. I hear a distinct sound when travelling at 40+, but I have a sharp ear. Not offensive at all, becomes white noise. My roof rack wind deflector is more noticeable. I haven't seen a change in performance/efficiency but it's only been a few days. Got the snorkel and breathers relocation due to all of the trails near me, can and do flood regularly. The cleaner/cooler air benefits are a secondary plus.
 
Splicer

Finishing touches on the winch install. I think I’m going to like “the splicer”.

Stopped at a Snowpark in the Oregon Cascades, looks like a fun trail for snowmobiles. I should have waited to get a photo of a few crossing.

Took off my TRD skid, re-tapped the holes a bit deeper to avoid any future issues there. Also removed my front valence trim piece (what a pain with bumper on... arms are all scratched up) and turned it black. Love the new look!

Installed my C4 sliders! Quality purchase. Had some issues with the install, but mostly because I couldn’t get the drivers side slider under the fuel tank skid.

Guess I just need to order an upgraded skid so I have an excuse to pull the whole thing off and do it right :)

Pelfreybilt Hidden Winch Mount, Warn Zeon 10-S, RCI Aluminum Skids

Busy weekend but just got finished putting aluminum RCI skids (engine, transmission and transfer case) and a Pelfrybilt Hidden Winch Mount with a Warn Zeon 10-s winch tucked nicely inside. Very much tucked.

Also, not pictured, but I reinstalled my stripped and repainted RCI sliders. When I bought them I opted to paint them myself thinking they would be easier to manage long term. I was pretty wrong on the manage part (No fault of the slider or RCI). Lots of proper prep, primer, paint, etc, and it chips so easily!
