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

I left my T4 in a Toyota dealers parking area while we rented a Sienna for a 3 day trip. The Sienna was very good as a family car with plenty of space and we will probably get one to replace our Astro Van.

When we returned, It felt good to be back with my old friend, the T4.

Comments about a Sienna AWD would be appreciated.

The Sienna forums are not really into it like this 4Runner group so they are much help.

Took my cleaned ride out to get dinner. Loved going to these places for all the years I lived in Dallas, TX. Was so relieved to see them when I relocated to Chicago a couple years ago!

Hit 30,000 miles so I changed the oil and filters. Then I relocated the rear diff breather for the upcoming trip to NC and the pup tried to go for a joy ride.

Blower motor is below the filter, not above it. Air is filtered before it hits the fan and before it enters the cabin.

Yep, I flipped my filter around after realizing that the dirt was on the top of the dirty filter and I had the carbon facing up on the new one. The blower is definitely underneath which had me confused, that and the lack of arrows on the filter

Thanks, for correction, I meant the fan as what I was trying to express is that "air flow" is going down through the filter then through the fan. So that the debris stays in the filter.
 
Visited Dealership Pat Lobb of McKinney

10,000 mile service, 1st oil change.

New Front Wiper Blades.

Got Home.

Swapped out front crappy fog lights for new LED 2018 Toyota Tundra Fog Lights. THEY FIT AND WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Removed HID bulbs and put in Morimoto 2.0 LED Bulbs and replaced the light covers with new ones. They fit perfectly and ALL wiring fits in the bulb housing.

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got notification from Xenon-Depot that my hi-beam bulbs have shipped with the doohickey that will still leave 200 lm at DRL and 1750 lm at full hi-beam.

Next planning this saturday of swapping out the 20" limited wheels and tires for 17" SR5 wheels and Michelin Defender P265/70 R17 tires.

YES!!!!

Do you have a picture and possibly a part number and cost of the fog lights?
 

That's a great picture.

Those tires look aftermarket, did you fit a full size spare under there?
I have a 285/70/17 in the stock spare wheel area and it cuts my departure angle by about 0.75" - 1" yet is above the rear diff so it clears all rocks.

Ever have any trouble with it?

Again, that looks awesome. Excellent work there.

Thanks bud - I'm running the same on all 5 wheels - 285s. No trouble here - I'm running about a 3in lift if that helps. I'm in the works of getting a tire carrier fabricated to get the wheel out of that area anyways.

Awesome. Let us all know how that tire carrier fab works out.
I have a 2.5" lift and also running 5 tires the same, the spare just barely fit under there and glad to see you also are not having any issues so far with it.

You got it brotha! I'm planning to maintain my stock rear bumper but have them notch out and weld a carrier to the frame that can swing out similiar to that of an aftermarket rear bumper, without the weight. I just need a carrier to hold my spare tire and my rotopax haha
 
Then I relocated the rear diff breather for the upcoming trip to NC...

Thanks for reminding me! There's no way I'm going to use the crappy plastic tubing that comes with the kit (sub-zero weather half the year) so need two of these nipples (one for the diff. case and one for the ARB breather manifold) so I can use nice reinforced rubber brake line instead.
 
My 5th Gen. pulled its first trailer! Pretty cool trailer too...but they aren't mine unfortunately. I burned a lot of gas on these this summer, so I offered to help out my girlfriends Dad get them into storage!

I pulled my utility trailer full of construction debris a few weeks ago and was impressed with how well it handled.
