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

Out with the old, in with the new. Picked up the suspension from the FJC clod our deal for about $600. Sorry I didn’t take more photos but I get into doing and don’t stop to take photos. I added a 1.25” daystar spacer to the front and a 1.5” daystar spacer to the rear. I think I’ll be upgrading the rear with at least the load helper airbags if not new springs.

Decided to finally get off my arse and designed a new cargo area platform. Wanted to keep it simple and removable. The material used is 1/2" birch plywood and the drawer / tray came from Amazon.

I am adding L-Track on top to secure gear, etc. The holes are to reduce weight. Total weight came in at 16# including hardware. L-track should only add a pound or two when installed.

I really like the low profile of the drawers. Do you have a link for the tray?
 
I installed a front license plate on my 2015 TEP lol. Waiting on my lift to come in the mail before I have some real fun!
 
Thanks (again) to [MENTION=131471]CF_Machete[/MENTION] for helping me install the TSO Garnish, upper grill, center grill marker LED, and PRO front valance. I contributed by installing the license plate bracket and awesome stealth flag license plate LOL. Good thing I’m so handy.

Look'n bad ass sir! When are we doing your lift?
 
Got the tint done today, same guy that did my 08 and did a nice job. Sorry for the giant pics, but I don't know how to resize them on this new laptop. I did 35% on the front windows and the visor across the windshield. Still getting used to it, but I'm happy so far

Drove to some local mountain bike trails. Finally getting back into it after 6 or so years.

Also, thanks to whoever added the resize option. I browse this forum on the computer more so than my phone and the large photos are an eye sore. Hope this a new thing for all threads.
