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

Traded my limited nfab steps with the trail/sr5 steps and cut my rocker panels. Cutting it was easier than I thought it would be so thanks [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION]...it's messy but so worth it. I don't have the steadiest hands so I've got some jagged edges. What kind of tape/plastic end cap can I put at the bottom so it looks straight?

Next up is tackling my limited to trail/pro front end. Picking up the newly painted bumper tomorrow! Excited!

Installed my Yakima skyrise 3 today! What an amazing tent with the easiest setup ever! I have a full roof rack but if you have a factory rack you can totally make the work on it. It has some locking clamps that basically hold it in so no need to “unbolt” it or buy costly “quick releases”.

Here are 2 pics of it testing it out at work, no worries I wasn’t camping out at a loading dock lol

Wow, congrats. What model and configuration did you go with?

Adventure Trail
It has the mid level roof tent, so I won’t need a ladder but most people will
Full kitchen
We got solar panels
Upgraded battery and electrical distributor system

That’s about all the upgrades. I will post once I get it.
I am driving from AZ to AK in August, just after I take it home. Should make for some good writeups.
 
Do you have a particular destination in Alaska? I just made the drive last year (in an Outback and no trailer) it is astonishingly beautiful all the way through British Columbia and the Yukon.

I am headed to Anchorage. I am in the Air Force. And they are sending me back up North. Driving from AZ to Seattle, hitting a handful of national parks. Then from Seattle to Anchorage, I will be following Milepost, and just winging it! I will be with my best friend growing up and my 2 dogs. Should be great.

Nice rig man! Where in NJ? I'm down south. I dig the color scheme you've got going. Is that the proline bumper and how do you like it?

Washed my TE, then loaded it up with bags of mulch. Icons held up fine.

I "got to" do this on Tuesday. And then had to spend a half hour cleaning the cargo area where water leaked from the bags. Was kind of a spur of the moment thing or I would have thrown some plastic down. Oh well. This and having to take stuff to the dump are the only times I wish I had a truck.

You are in for a treat!

Alaska should be on everyone's bucket list.

A lot of great NP's along the way.

Be safe and thanks for your service. :usa2:
 
Loaded up and headed out for 10 days, camping, hotels, and more camping!

Drank the Kool-Aid and bought a Pedal Commander. Figured with the Bluetooth I could opt for a more discrete mounting location. Found a switch blank in the back of the glove box that I was able to route the cable through, across the center section and down to the Pedal [emoji1360]

City +2 is a whole new world. Playing on Sport was pretty fun too.

As a fellow 12B I followed your lead and mounted my pedal commander in the same spot!

Sneak preview of my limited to trail front end conversion. Not sure if I’m happy with the paint match so not fully installed and gotta trim the liner and also cut holes for the sensors. Hopefully get finished up in the next couple days! We’ll see if the painter can get it right.

Nice :cheers:



I notched the blank and popped it back in, just took the pic too soon.



Did you see my shifter ball?



Ohh I’ll have to do that with the blank to have a nice clean finish. No I haven’t seen your shifter. I might have missed
