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

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...

What color plasti dip did you use?
 
Got the new shoes on ... all laced up

[MENTION=166805]thatmaceguy[/MENTION], Are you liking your ST Maxx? I got my shipments yesterday from the Discount Tires sale. I got them installed yesterday evening. So far I'm linking them over stock of course.

I had a set of ST-Maxx on my F150 that had 50k miles on them, was probably going to make 60-65, if I hadn't traded it for the 4Runner. Loved that tire. My only complaint was they started getting louder and louder after about 35k miles.
 
Attached and sprayed my marker light to my new TRD Pro radiator grill. Used Rustoleum peelable tint coating & automotive clear. Took about 5 coats of tinting & 3 coats clear. Just the amount of stealth I was looking for. Don't mind the cats in the background they like getting into all my pics indoors.

Ordered Rago Fabrications Modular Factor roof fack support system. It was a garage sale product, so I got it at a hefty discount.

Anyone here have it installed?


[MENTION=122201]Friggin Idiot[/MENTION] has them installed. They look great - BTW.

Thanks for shout.
Here's the install write-up in my thread.
The Rago Install YouTube is right, it's much easier with the rack off the truck. Although I'd suggest finger tightening the crossbar ends to the crossbars before attempting to slide them into the slide rails. It works easier as a whole than trying to do one side and then the other for alignment purposes!

Running Boards

Brand new off of Craigslist, 20 bucks, yes 20 bucks is all he wanted for them. And again my New hood, traded last week for the scoop. So the swapped hoods cost me 50 bucks and the running boards cost me 20 bucks. 70 dollars total for my last 2 mods.
