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

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

That sounds interesting. You have any sketch ups of how it will look?
 
Picked it up from the shop after a re-gear and new wheels and tires. Went from Cooper AT3 275/70 on Level 8 MK6 to BFG KM3 in 33x12.5 on Fuel Vectors.

The AT3 looks a little bigger in this shot, but it's just the perspective.

Those KM3s look like tiger claws. Very nice! How's the noise so far?

There's a noticeable whine as with any MT. I'm going to try to create a thread later today with first impressions of the re-gear and tires. I'll have a video with good audio of the cabin noise.
 
Put a few miles on driving around the north cascades. Ended up sleeping above Hart's Pass at 7500 feet on Saturday night. Woke up to a beautiful sunrise.

I almost drove there yesterday. Instead, we went to Artist Point at Mt. Baker and then stopped at Twin Lakes on the way back.

A friend sent this pic to me. He was at the Bonneville Salt Flats last week for the races. It rained, leaving water on the salt flats which allowed him to get this spectacular mirror sunrise pic.

Installed Bilstein 5100s with front at 0.85"

Bought an '18 4Runner a few weeks ago and just had my first mod completed. Installed Bilstein 5100s set at 0.85" on the front. Not much of a difference but I'm happy with it.

Nice.
Hey, what’s up with the “All Access” sticker?
The pic isn’t clear enough to read it all.

It's a parody sticker of the All Access Clean Air Vehicle sticker. My buddy runs a decal shop and be printed it for me. It just says All Access Off Road Vehicle
 
Gave it some mud treatment [emoji16][emoji16

What springs are you running with those Bilstein 5100s? Looks like the perfect stance and sits well with all the weight. I'm on TRD Pro suspension right now with Toytec 2" spacer lift, and looking to change it up so I can handle more front end weight without sagging. Thanks!
