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

Front and back valences painted black today. Slow time a the local body shop so they gave me a great deal on painting.

Anyone know of an OEM looking black exhaust tip? I like the look of the TRD tip but I am not a fan of chrome at all.

Mine came with a black tip from the dealer. I’m sure if you call the parts desk at a dealer they could get one of the factory black ones. Also MBRP makes some black tips that look similar.

Black from the dealer as in OEM or black from the dealer as in they painted the TRD one or installed an aftermarket one? I don't think Toyota makes a black TRD style tip?
 
Not so much did, but got for my T4R... after much research and deliberation I went with the Eibach Pro-Truck Lift System. I Can’t wait to get it on the truck!

Looking at the window sticker it was a dealer installed option. It’s an actual matte black tip. I don’t see any part number or brand on it. It’s just clamped on over the exhaust pipe.

Finally got it off road

Not today, but this weekend. Friday I put on a front hitch mount to use as an extraction point and for future use with a receiver mount winch.

Saturday, I took it off-roading for the first time since it rolled off the factory floor. The previous owner bragged about having never taken it on the dirt since buying it new.

I was very happy with how it did even with stock height and tires. I did end up using the locker once but never had need for any of the other "Trail" goodies.

I was also surprised that the front hitch was not the lowest point, when I picked up my first off-road badge when I banged the skid on a rock, but it missed the hitch completely.

It was a beautiful Colorado day, and we never even ran into any snow.

Managed not to use any plywood and kept all the factory foam and carpet.

He made some nice grab handles for my headrests. They look great. Appreciate the extra gift in the package.

I just got my grab handles in the mail today, very glad I got them. My thanks to [MENTION=109147]jstack2[/MENTION] for making these, exactly what I was hoping for.
 
Today? Just drove to town and back.
But a few days ago, I installed the CBI front hitch receiver. I'd like to post a writeup and will, as soon as the forum allows me to.

Same setup I got from the GB!!! Although I'm not sure which side I'll run the drawers. Currently have it wired up to have the fridge on the passenger side but I might change so that the Roller Floor is on the driver side.

Also how did you mount it if not using plywood?
 
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.

Does this level out the rear cargo area and make a flat surface with the seats folded down?
