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

URD MAF Sensor Calibrator

Far and away the best mod I have made to date. This is how they should drive from the factory.

Agreed, with headers and full exhaust cough cough haha just got mine in last week, sway bar bushings came in today so i slapped the fronts in, still need to bo my rear brake lines and sway bar bushings. I went with the Greaseable prothanes from amazon, couldn’t bypass buying one set at $1.18 and the other at $24.99!thanks for the cheap resale for a returned item!
 
Techstream

Sounds like you changed a lot for $13. Care to elaborate on which cable and what software?

Hey, sorry I didn't respond earlier - no notification for some reason.

I believe this is the site I got the download and instructions from: Free Download and install Toyota Techstream 12.20.024 on Windows 7 | OBDII365.com Official Blog (great walkthrough, and more links for info)

User post on making the drivers work: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/gener...ta-tis-techstream-8-x-windows-7-8-64-bit.html

And here's the cable I used: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W97K7O6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I take that back, it was a $20 cable I purchased. Totally worth it to me! Anyway, it took some work to get Techstream working for me because I have a 64 bit Windows 10 computer. But it's possible! Hope this helps! :biggrin2:
 
Lately I've been doing a lot of experimenting with night photography and time lapse video. Three weeks ago I went out to the Campo Creek Viaduct, but the moon was nearly full, and the sky was partly cloudy. So I couldn't get the kind of night shots I really wanted.

I went back there Sunday night to try again. No moon, no clouds, lots of stars!

That second shot was from a series of time lapse photos. Each shot took 15 seconds, with another five seconds between shots. So it took nearly two and a half hours to get enough for 12 seconds of time lapsed video. Unfortunately there was frequent traffic on the highway under the bridge, and every time a car went by the headlights would light up the bridge. So the resulting video is not what I was hoping for.

These shots of the Milky Way were taken on top of the hill near one end of the bridge. I got some very nice time lapse of the Milky Way moving across the sky; however I had to cut it short when some damp air rolled in a fogged up the lens. I was up until 3 a.m. shooting all this stuff:

In the morning I flew my drone again and got some shots I'd missed the last time.

I'm still working on getting the video from both trips edited - and trying to locate some vintage pics to include with it.

Here are a couple shots of Megaweapon parked near the bridge:

Picked up this Wilco from another forum member:

...not sure I'm going to keep it on though.

Works well for what its supposed to do, but honestly I'm not sure I like the plate down so low, the area on the hatch where the plate was just looks "unfinished" now and I really don't feel like rerouting/remounting the camera.

Next option is to try a roof rack and mount the spare up there as I'm still not ready to drop $3K on a full replacement bumper.

Am I seeing that right that you run 38's? Wow I had no idea you could fit those on our cars. Can you give a quick summary on what was involved in getting those on, any rubbing? I heavy tire like that on the roof, seems like a bad spot, why buy the Wilco and not use it, I think it looks great on your 4runner!
