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

Got the wheels and tires installed this morning.

You need a windshield banner that says "If you can read this, shoot my spotter".

New tires

Got set of Cooper ATP's on today. Stock size. Since it is daily driver and wife and me take it everywhere, probably wont do much of a lift unless there is a magic number that wont make stockers look too weird. Think I'll get a front spacer and call it good for now (front is exaggerated to look very low in this image because I'm parked on an incline) Coming off of Michelin Latitudes. Definitely louder on road...and heavier..but look much better and will have much better traction.

ever have a fuse burn out that looked fine? ever try swapping a fuse because something didn't work to make sure the fuse was ok?

No but I have had a 5A fuse be perfectly fine while the entire fuse-holder around it melted into oblivion. That was a real head scratcher.
 
Did the fender liner mod to get rid of the scraping on partial to full locks. Lift with big tyres and wheel spacers definitely requires some modification, glad it was a quick and easy fix thanks to some youtube videos.
 
Emblems

Well I tried to replace the emblems today but it took longer than expected and it got too cold outside. Someone please tell me the secret trick to getting the emblem glue/sticky tape off. 4 more to go :ybrick:

Had to add a full pic of my baby just to show him off lol

I discovered another reason to love my 4Runner... I've been having severe, painful back spasms the past several days, and the driver's seat of my 4Runner is the only thing I've been able to sit in that actually feels good on my back.

I’ve always used a hair dryer to heat up the glue to remove decals and emblems. And Goo Gone to get whatever stubborn residue might be left.

Where in your back?

I had a WRX as a daily when my back/spine issues started. My 4th gen took over daily duty when things got bad. The 5th gen has been great on my back so far.

Fishing line works great as a saw to get behind the emblems and cut through the tape. Them goo gone.
