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

Finally got my custom shifter knob in:

Really want to cut the rod down an inch or two and rethread it though...

I don't know why the one gets rotated when I upload it...:confused:

I have something similar, basically red cue balls for my shifter and transfer case. I'm glad you didn't cut down the stalk. I was going to cut down the stalk initially, but I found that by leaving the stalk length alone, I can rest my arm on the center console and still reach the shifter. Also, you can go back to oem if had to. Yes, I'm that lazy or that efficient depending on who you ask...lol.
 
What regiment are you in?

The Corps of Engineers regimental crest isn't specific to a particular unit. All Army Engineers wear this crest, regardless of unit assigned to.

I served with the 10th Engineer BN in the 3rd ID and 19th Engineer BN attached to 25th ID.
 
Did a diy ceramic coat today. We'll see how long it lasts.

My Baja rack is still about 3-4 weeks out.

Lift and UCA installed

Got the lift installed. 2.5 up front and t13 coil in the back. It almost perfectly level. Everything aligned within factory specs.

Installed the wider Rhino Rack Pioneer platform at 49" x 76" on 6 of the lower (2-1/4" high) legs and set the Alucab gen 3 and Shadow-Awn on it. Nice, solid and low to top. Had to slide forward, thanks shark fin!

It was a slow day at work so I got the front calipers, rotors and pads replaced. Not an all day project but gave me something to work on.
 
Picked up my brand new '18 TRD OR Premium on Thursday.
So far, I've gotten all of my Canvasback liner s in except for the rear hatch, which will be done later today.
Put on my Weathertech deflector (this is the 3rd 4Runner it's been on).
Installed my PrecisionLED interior lights, license plate lights, and reverse lights. Have to order replacement puddle lights, as I didn't want to tear the mirrors apart to get them out because I traded in the '16 they were in.
Took the pup out for a spin tonight, too.. her first ride in the new Magnetic Grey Metallic '18.
Also to be installed later today are the N-Fab bars I had on my '15 MGM 4Runner. Never installed them on my '16 BR 4Runner, as it had the factory running boards on it.
 
Trip to the beach with 5 car seats... thank God for the 3rd row! IMG_1257.JPGIMG_1256.JPGIMG_1258.JPGIMG_1254.JPGIMG_1252.JPGIMG_1273.JPG

I see I'm not the only one with an old Land Cruiser emblem. :thumb3:

Decided to to a brake flush at 5 years and 55K. Old fluid looked very clean, used DOT 4.
Rear was easy, with key on the system pushed it out. For the front I used a vacuum bottle, made it very easy. Front pads still look good.

Those are original pads with 55K miles on them? Are you the original owner of the truck?
