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

That's beautiful. I saw the last one clearly but could not see this one due to clouds.



Thanks. From what I've heard it was visible but filtered through a thin layer of high elevation clouds in San Diego. Luckily there was a good break up by Long Beach. I've missed the last few due to weather in Illinois and thought I had 100% chance after moving to socal. I was right but had to put in a bit more traveling than I expected.
 
That's my new phone wallpaper. Thanks.



I appreciate the love but can I ask a favor, next time ask first, I'll be happy to say yes and it creates a public dialogue I believe is important to have. I know a background really isn't a big deal and it's not like you're stealing my income by reselling it, but I do make a small portion of my income from my photography and when folks publically pinch it, it creates an environment where others think anything online is free for the taking to be used however they want. It takes a whole heck of a lot of money, time, and energy to create my photos nevermind the folks doing it full time. Thanks for understanding.
 
Installed the Pedal Commander (PC27 model) with Bluetooth capability. Whoah! What a difference. Hated the throttle lag on my 2019 TRD OR. Of the eight settings, settled on Sport and this seems the right amount in the city but will go to eco mode off-road.

Mounted and tidied up wiring and controller in less than ten minutes.

I was going to get the mini mania sprint booster for $289 but found the pedal Commander for $254 on amazon and it had Bluetooth which works like a charm. Two thumbs up.

added rear camera, 20.00 on sale at amazon. has magnetic mount, added small metal disc to headliner button for mount. plugs into 12 volt in rear. also has battery with a motion sensor. even came with the card. ran wires under headliner

Link for the camera and did it come with the magnetic mount?
 
That's actually the type I was planning on getting. The winter here NY is getting pretty brisk lately, as you know.

It's good to hear that it's easy. I don't mind taking a couple things apart, I feel like I learn my vehicle better that way.

Here's a link to the write up. Give you a little better idea what you'll be doing.

5th Gen Install

I've been thinking about this too. Don't they offer a phone app to start as well? Is there a time limit that it allows it to run for? Thanks.

Yes they do have a phone app for starting as well. I haven't looked into it and don't know much about it. It's programmed for a 20 min time limit. Accessorides has a thread that has a lot of good info in it as well. Definitely worth the read!

I mounted a VisionX ditch pod today. Yes, "a". Now it's a one-eyed Jack. Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow to, um... ditch the pirate look. :)

I apologize, but it's on a public forum. So I guess all those 4runner lifted pics I saved are off limits, too? Don't post it if that worries you.
 
I wonder if they will just let me change the airbag myself? LOL. I had mechanics. They have tunnel vision on what was taught to them and rarely do I find that they were taught correctly.

Posted on a public forum with no copywrite or other watermark. If you were worried about someone saving your photo don’t post it.

That is one of the most ridiculous statement I have ever read on a forum. Don't be a d-bag. If you don't want people to use stuff that you put on the web, then watermark it. Or don't post it. Take the compliment and move on.

I can report that the factory rack on the 2019 TRD Pro 4Runner can handle a 14” paddle board without incurring wind-related transport issues. However, that extra 4-5 inches of height means you need to travel with a folding step ladder if you are under 6 feet tall. I am thinking FrontRunner full length rack eventually. It will allow me to spread apart the attachment points and move the board further forward and closer to the roof line.

I am not sure where you are located, but having my 14'er hanging off the back like that will get me a ticket faster than I can buoy turn, in Texas.

I have a similarly constructed board, and have the nose almost in line with the front hood when transporting it. No issues at 80 mph, and will keep anyone from jousting their car on your board! Or use a flag! :cool:

the camera is always on sale, every time I checked for the last week, it was on sale for 20, regular price is 40 (look in today's deals). yes there is a built in magnetic mount, it can also attach to a suction cup via the magnet, but the suction cup will not work on the rear window due to the defroster.

amazon has some pretty good pictures of how the magnet works

Mounted the Ram Tablet X-Grip. Overall pretty straight forward install with some minor bending, cutting, and trimming. Can't wait to use this out on the trail

This took place over the past couple days, added a Toytec lift and SPC upper control arms to the rig... now I just need to take it to the alignment shop!
