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

[Diver Deuce]

Reinstalled my auxiliary transmission cooler... Nuñez family is going on a cross country trip.

 

[4runr4eva]

Went on my first class 4 road this Saturday in VT. Got a little dicey, but the T4R performed really well. I had her on three wheels at one point. Hit my trailer hitch step twice and my Nerf bars once, but no damage. Just got them muddy.

 

[Naylor99]

Hardwired my dash cam ROAV C1 Pro and the Valentine 1. Much better than having the cords hanging in front of the radio.
This was easier than expected.

Nice. Now you just need to get a blendmount and rid yourself of those suction cups...

Thanks. I had not heard of the Blendmount. I'll have to get one now.

Got my canvas backs in today. They did a custom order for me since all I wanted was the seatbacks. I’m very impressed!

Bilstein 5100's and 1.5" rear spacer

I got Bilstein 5100s and daystar 1.5" rear spacers installed. After looking at other people's posts, I thought this would level it out. But there still looks like there is a front rake. What's up with this? They said the set the front all the way up at 2.5". So shouldn't it be level?

I think 2" would work with a 1.5" spacer. 2.5" you may need to go higher in the rear.

I did 1.6" on the bilstein and no spacer in the rear and it looked liked yours, raked in the front slightly. Once I put the 1" cornFed spacer its 1" higher in the rear.

For the leveled look, I believe its about .5" variance from what you do in the front/rear.

For example I did the 1" rear and 1.6" in front. This gave me 1" higher in the back. They say the lift is doubled for whatever you put in the rear.

From Cornfed's website

"Why are the spacers only roughly half of the thickness of the lift I desire for my truck?"

The spacers are correct and are roughly half of the thickness of the lift desired because the spacers and coil spring assembly mount at the midpoint of the lower control arm, and thus give double the amount of lift of their own thickness.

Also, my lift looks higher than your's and I went 1.6" on the front, 1" in the rear.

I have 23" center hub to fender in the rear, and 22" in the front. What is yours?

Good. I wasn't being flippant. Thieves look for those suction cups, and have even broken into cars simply because the ring was visible from where the suction cup was...

Since you have a V1 I can tell you it works great. Here is a pic of my setup;

Installed the TRD intake today. Didn’t realize that the kit came with the filter so now I have a spare filter haha.
I like the sound of it, can already see a drop in mpg d/t wanting to hear the sound of it. Hahaha
I’m thinking about the URD MAF calibrator, I already have the Pedal Commander so I’m not sure if it would be worth it or not.

Love the roof rack.... Specs on it? size?

 

[skt4271]

Well this followed us home from Jacksonville Yesterday. Let the camper trailer moding and Toyota conversion begin...

What trailer is that? Love the color.

 

[warhound]

Put on a new TJM front Bumper, 12,500lb winch, 600w inverter under the driver's seat, home made solar shower, home made drawers, and 285/70/17 Radar AT5s

 

[brtnstrns]

So my Gobi is getting delivered tomorrow, so that's exciting...

Did I make this up or did I see someone say that Gobi now includes a strip of clear vinyl for protecting the roof from the wind fairing? Can anyone confirm that that has installed one recently?

 

[Ray Dunakin]

Went to the drive in with the Wife.

I didn't know drive-ins still existed!

Hmm, I just checked and there is still one active drive-in near San Diego, in Santee.

What'd they charge you just for the seat backs? I want to go the same route since I have the rear cargo slider

Replaced the stock Dunlops tires with NITTO Terra Grapplers that a friend hooked me up with when he upgraded to KO2s on his new TRD Pro. Pretty happy with them, a lot better than stock :thumb:
