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

Enjoyed exploring south central PA today - Nemacolin Woodlands to be exact.

And, I officially joined the “Jeep Recovery Team” (video to come).

Always remember to open your doors before you start lifting the 4Runner.
Can you clarify what you mean here?
I think he meant that the type of jack he used prevents opening the door once it is jacked up. Using a floor jack and/or jack stands, you could open the doors after lifting it.

I think he and others might've been better served by saying, "Always use jack stands or other approved safety measures before climbing under a vehicle lifted by a jack." :eek:

Nah, it's about keeping your door from getting the crap beat out of it by the jack's beam if the jack's base slips. A few FJ Cruiser guys learned this lesson the hard way and ended up with caved-in doors.
 
While deciding on what wheels to buy or to powder coat these I opted to plasti-dip them for now. Brass Monkey with gloss clear. Also blacked out the emblems.

I always find that if you want your girlfriend or wife to come out on the trails with you, it is best to teach them the joys of off-road driving. I got new tires and wheels last week, so I took my girlfriend out to test them and give her a little time in the driver's seat. She did great, and we had a great time navigating some "rock gardens" on the Coney Flats trail in northern Colorado.

:trophy:

Very cool! I ran Coney Flats this weekend as well. :hello: Fun trail and great scenery.
