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

You planning cut the ends off the RTT rail? A simple hacksaw can cut right through that aluminum no problem.

Not gonna jack them off yet, never thought about it but it seems like a good idea, I’m gonna get a front runner slime line with the quick detach though because this thing is basically a semi-permanent mod because it’s hell to on and off solo with the factory bars
 
Me too. When I called asking for a "special order", the lady knew I wanted red stitching on black material for a T4R. It's the only special request they get.



Son of a... wish I thought of that! Although I went with grey because my dogs hair will show too much with black. The grey looks good, I think.

Started painting my Rago panels. Turned out surprisingly good, so far!

FJ Summit and Gobi Install

First time visiting Ouray/Telluride during FJ Summit was a blast. And say what you will about Gobi as a company...they make an incredible rack. Scoured classifieds for four months and finally found a like-new 5 month old rack for $700 less than new on ebay of all places.

Awesome day with the family driving some mountain trails near Lake Tahoe and escaping the Texas heat!

Welcome to California!
Tahoe and the Sierras are beautiful.
That’s a nicely equipped rig you have.
Just be careful with your Yakima-obscured rear license plate.
If a CHP notices it they may want to talk about it.

What kind of paint are you using? I’m doing the same thing. I’m using krylon appliance epoxy (black) and it’s turning out great!



I’m using Rustoleum Flat Black Enamel and it turned out really nice. Way better than I expected with a rattle job!

Remote control windows down

I spent $10 (well... $9.99) on iTunes to get Carista app to change few settings: windows down from remote control, removed the annoying seatbelt ding-ding-ding, changed rear wiper retrieve from 3sec to 2sec.
 
I made some stickers for it the other day, and today I ordered all the things. Rear coils, new top hats for TRD FJ Cruiser suspense, Raingler Celine net, Baja Squadron LED fogs, LED headlights, and a couple new bottles of detailing supplies.

I haven't changed the rear wiper interval yet since we haven't had any rain since I got it, but made the other changes. Seems like a lot of people want to shorten that interval ... wondering if I should just do it before my trial lapses.

Another thing I want to do is modify the rear wiper left limit swipe. It drives me banana that it stops and wipes only 2/3 of the rear window.
Has anyone done this change?
 
Got new shoes ... like them but sorta wish I tried 285s.

Also working on a sleeve for the arm resr... which perfectly holds the Nintendo Switch!

285, stock suspension, zero lift. Rubbed the inner lower edge of the front bumper skin at full lock in reverse. Lifted it 3" and still rubbed the exact same spot, had to trim it either way. I'm now on a 295 which I actually prefer over the 285 immensely.

Took this rear endlink idea from the 4th gen forum, it so far seems as it would fit fine. The overall cost was great, I went to Ace Hardware and Autozone for parts, here after dinner I’ll get to trying out one side for install, particularly the driver side since the gas tank is there. One thing I am noticing is the length of the endlinks might be a problem so they might need to be shortened a little which is a easy fix. Ghetto, yes but it fits and I’ll report soon with any change of feel since it will preload the sway bar more as the links are about 1” longer but would allow a little more flex over stock.
Here is the link for reference
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-g...sh-extended-rear-sway-bar-links-write-up.html

I also got the remaining fititings for my rear mounted air manifold, the manifold will have 3/8” air brake line fed from a 1 gallon seamless air tank mounted under the 4x4labs arb compressor mount in the front.
