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

That is the exact setup I was planning...1" cornfed up front, 265's with spacers. Do you have any rubbing? Any other photos would be great!

I do have some slight rubbing on the front mud flap when at just before full lock. It's barely rubbing at all and happened only after I put the 1.25 spacers on. I heard rubbing when I took it on test drive and I thought it was going to be on the front fender liner, so I pushed that forward and used to dremel to trim the corner of the bumper off. I trimmed from the little overhang at an angle to about 3 inches up. Can't tell it was done at all

Then I noticed it was actually rubbing on the front mud flap, not sure if it was ever even rubbing the front ever at all now but good to have that done any way I guess! The zip tie trick definitely helped get rid of the bad rubbing and I barely hear it at all now!

I did exactly what this guy did in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApZ1_K77zMc

Here's another pic of after spacers

Here's a pic from before the spacers to show the 1" lift with the 265s (I also have tinted the front windows to match since this was taken)

Also, I am pretty sure the TRD Pro wheels are a lower offset than the SR5 wheels that were on before. Maybe if I mounted the 265 Falkens and did spacers with the SR5 wheels I wouldn't have rubbed at all.

today

I'm using this thread to get my 12 count so i hope I'm not annoying anyone. :rockon:
Today I had to go back to the dealership because they put a rebate on there that wasn't supposed to be there. I found that kind of weird but everything seemed the same. They took the rebate off and deducted the same amount from the car's value. Nothing seemed fishy but then again I don't know too much about all this as this is my first time. Is this normal? I'm still paying the same amount monthly and the amount financed is still the same.


11 months of ownership bliss.

Side note, is it a bad thing that my transmission and exhaust was covered in a thin film of dust/mud? I sprayed it off now, but was a little surprised to see the ENTIRE underside coated lol

Took my T4 to a Toyota dealer and got this for my wife. 2018 Sienna XLE with AWD. Had it "off road" already. The T4 will be for real off road trips.

ICON 3.5" Lift (Self-Install)

Absolutely pumped. Decided to pull the trigger on an ICON lift and SPC UCAs. Installed them with 2 of my buddies and I love it. Getting the rear coils in was a B**ch! Had to undo the brake line brackets and the rear breather clip to give enough play. We ended up using a bottle jack to space the axle enough to wedge them in but it was tight. All in all - it took us about 5 hours total. Might have to crank up the front coilovers a turn to completely eliminate the factory rake but I'll wait to see if the rear coils sag. Time for some bigger shoes...My vision is starting to come to life

I did the Kicker tweeter swap today. Sound is much improved and helps to stand up to my Alpine subwoofer.
Next mod, either Katzkin leather seating or a mild lift to help fix the slight rub i get at full turn.

Now you need some bronze venomrex wheels :shrug:

A little sample of what they look like
