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

Trying out some yellow tint material on my fogs.

2010 SR-5, Toytec Ultimate lift with BMC, SPC UCAs, FN Six Shooters, 285/75R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers, SSO Sliders, RCI skids, CBI ditch light brackets, Yakima Megawarrior rack
 
Look at the FN Wheels FX Pro. Better than OEM TRD wheels and better than the ebay knock off.

I agree, but I didn’t necessarily want wider than 7”. I know I know! But I drive 120 miles a day for work so trying to find a good balance. I’m not convinced on these either but wanted to give them a try. I don’t think FN’s came in anything less than 9” wide, right?
 
Adjusted my track bar and threw some fresh paint on it after a shop went to town on it with a pipe wrench. I paid to have them adjust my axle out a bit as part of some other work they were doing because I was having some clearance issues with the fuel tank skid. They ended up adjusting it the wrong way so had to pull it regardless. Anyways, it’s shiny and centered now.

What does wheel width have to do with your commute? Anyway, they are 17x8 which is the only size option for this wheel as far as I know.
 
Gave it a quick wash and changed the oil. I was planning on trading it in on a new LC this year after finishing the Baja which still needs a crap ton of work to finish....Any way long story short gonna keep her as these will most likely be the last of the great small SUV's...

Installed TRD Pro Skidplate. Easy install, only thing I wish it had was an access panel to the oil filter canister, but it's still easier to get to compared to the stock one plate

Highs and lows

I did my second DIY oil change following Antman's AWESOME guide. Thrilled with my success I then promptly got into an accident on the way home....

I'm a 2015 4Runner owner posted in West Africa and it looks like I am going to have to DIY the repairs from this accident. I was unable to start a new thread so I was hoping I could slip a request for help into this discussion. If there is a better thread for this please point me in that direction.

The accident scraped my left passenger door and knocked off the left rear wheel well fender flare, shearing off several of the pins and brackets holding it in place. Once I get the door panel popped back out I am going to need to replace that flare. I've looked around the internet and found several places selling what I think is the correct piece, but they all appear to be in black.

My question for you all is if you can point me in the direction of where I might find this piece in magnetic gray (stock color) and possibly pre-assembled with the rubber splash guard on it? Also, any recommendations on best touch up paint? Could really use your all's insight and expertise. Thanks for being such a great treasure trove of information!

Find one used, maybe on Ebay, otherwise you'll have to assemble and paint. Best paint is OEM from the dealer, nothing will match as close as OEM.
