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

Went ahead and threw my canvasback liners in, I ordered them back in March and didn't want to put them in until I ripped the back seats out, but since they mount with velcro I figured I could always rip it out later. The fitment is great and they even include Milk Bones for your dogs

Installation was super easy

I also got the additional flap that goes over the headrests, still planning to get something more solid to go over this area to keep the dogs from falling through

And, I went ahead and started populating my Rago storage panel, I have a lot of stuff to go on, but I figured the First Aid Kit should be front and center and easily accessible.

been wondering how deep it is. now I know after watching the video.
Yeah we tested it with a stick and it was about 3 ft deep with a very soft bottom.
Congrats! You will now be cleaning mud from your undercarriage for the next 1.5 years, that is assuming you don't add any more!
Once all this rain in MD clears up, I'm gonna get under it with a pressure washer and get most of it out. It will never be fully clean since we go wheeling once or twice a month, but I'll be able to get most of the mud out of the undercarriage and the engine bay.
 
Took a giant leap in making my 4Runner a full time trail / overlanding / expedition truck. My plans are to build some sort of platform, with storage to hold fridge, kitchen, and double as a sleeping platform for both my wife and I. I could definitely use input on type of wood / material I should use as well as any ideas y'all have.
Here is a quick YouTube video of the removal of everything in back.

There was a few links to some really bad ass storage threads for 5th gens but for whatever reason I can't find it with the phone app and I'm on the road today.

Today I crawled under my truck to try and determine what parts the thieves took. Yes, someone decided to treat my beloved 4Runner as a parts store. So far it looks like they only took the skid plate that covered the transmission and the Catalytic converter. They also took one bolt from the small plate that covers the oil drain plug. My suspicions are that they were setting the truck up to come back later and get the CAT.

Maybe put a camera looking over where you park?
 
Dual Hullavator install

Well it cooled down to 93* today so I decided to test Install the Hullavators. I had the brackets powder coated since I will not be removing them. Now it’s time to decide on a couple of fishing kayaks for the wifey and me.

Crappy pic, but I had to post until I can get a better pic this weekend. No lift, all stock. Only rubbing at full turn on mudflaps.



What's everyone do about their rubbing on the flaps?

Removing or trimming is my guess. I removed my front flaps a few weeks after I bought it.

Remove them, mud flaps are ugly as hell. Rears need to go also.
