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

[jbjones85]

installed a P3 brake controller in anticipation for delivery of our travel trailer in a few weeks. Bags should be going in this weekend.

Where are you at in Michigan? I'm in the keweenaw peninsula

Love it up there! How's the snow now?

I'm from the lower peninsula, Kalamazoo area.

the only thing is there is about 1/8th of inch gap on either side -- to me, it's no big deal because it's not really that noticeable.

the actual TRD grill garnish has the same gaps on either side. the dealer gave me one as an add-on but had to redo it as i noticed it was shifted all the way driver and had about 1/4" gap on passenger side.

this knock-off looks pretty damn good and all 3 parts for $140 is great in comparison to what toyota wants for it.

Full Time Power for Fridge/USB outlets in Cargo Area

I installed a Blue Sea Systems Power Panel below the factory one on the passenger side wheel well in the cargo area. I'd highly recommend this if anyone is looking for constant power in the back. There is also a power switch on it to minimize the draw when you aren't using it.

I don't have pictures of the wiring from the battery, but I just ran the wire from the battery through the passenger side firewall and down through the door sill trim. It all pops out very easily.

Once it's in the wheel well area, that tray pops out on top so you can access the wire. Then just add a female connector to the positive and negative and they just plug straight into the Blue Sea Panel. Super easy. The panel comes with a template to mount it. Just drill three holes and connect them with a utility knife or body saw.

Here is a link to the panel if anyone is interested.

Ah -- I didn't know the actual TRD grill also had a small gap on either side. Makes me feel even better about my purchase (leaving extra cash in my pocket for other mods)

Yep there is one in there. It only come on when your headlights are on.

Thanks, now I have to figure out how to change it.

I like the panel, but I worry I'll hit that switch by accident too often when the truck is loaded with camping gear.

I installed a new set of Canvasback liners.

I asked people this exact question. The answers were fantastic. Go back to post # 27856 on page 1858:

TRD Skid

Swapped out the stock skid for the TRD skid:

 

[Bpfish]

Shrockworks

Got the front bumper all mounted up. Have a few adjustments to make and still need to get the fogs mounted but am very impressed by the quality of the bumper!

Bumper looks good!! Where in Austin are you?

Bilstein 5100 level kit

This is what I have now, waiting on SSO bumper with stage 2 high clearance.

 

[BlackElk]

Toytec Bilstein 5100 3”

Anyone know if I need the spacers on the drivers side front and rear? The coilovers are marked at the bottom in black ink, marked Drivers and the other they look the same. Was wondering if they put a stronger spring on the drivers side so no spacer would be needed?

 

[Bonniem]

Installed my raptor lights with switch today.

It wont stop falling. I need to get my sled out.

 

[Marine0369]

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.

I would put a '01' on the door if this was mine!

Bought a winch and light bar for my SSO bumper I’m still waiting on.

...Let's Have a Snow-Day!

...Howdy! :cowboy:

...We have been gettin dumped on with snow here in SW Montana this week...

...The other morning we got about 6-inches in the morning, so after clearing off the driveway, I decided to go out and snap some pics, even tho it was still kinda snow-flurries...making it fairly dark with flat lighting conditions...but the trees were gettin just loaded with nice fluffy white stuff!

...Even tho I could not see the mountains, the drive was still quite gorgeous...and my 4Runner was lovin playin in the snow!

You could put a spacer on the rear if it's uneven but the front would just be adjusted with the coilovers as needed. Springs will be the same each side.
