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

Installed my side load access panels for my rotopax then did a trip to Alabama Hills/Trona Pinnacles with the Yota squad

Those side load panels are soooo awesome. How did you buy them? Everything on the website says coming soon.

Cool truck btw!
 
I did that to my 97 T4R. How difficult is it on the 5th Gen? Did you cover the holes with anything or just put back the bolts? Thx

It was very easy. I followed the instructions in this thread DIY: Roof Rack Delete (w/ pics)

and ordered this kit from amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KTQ4HTC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's out of stock now but you'll get the part numbers needed in the thread to order everything from somewhere online. I just wish I did it before the winter. clearing snow off the roof with a rack on it sucked big time.

This is a big help. Thanks everyone.

Thanks! Mine are prototypes, but if you reach out to Joe on IG (@fiends or @joesoriginalequipment) there's a small chance he might have some leftover from the same batch. That's how I was able to get mine. It sounds like he still plans on publicly releasing these, but I havent heard of a production date yet.
 
Finally installed my rear Baja lights and awning. They’ve been sitting in the garage since Christmas and I figured camping season is here so I better get it done

Finally ditched the chrome lugs. Never liked them on the black wheels.

I had another opportunity to go out to the desert again last week, to get more photos of the "super bloom".
I went out Thursday just past noon, spent the night out there, and returned late Friday afternoon. This time
there were more flowers blooming in more places, and also some of cacti and shrubs were blooming.

Here's Megaweapon on a section of old, abandoned highway:

You can see the rest of the photos in my latest post, in the "Adventures of Megaweapon" thread:

Hit the road. Trucked I-70 & I-44 from Dayton OH to Springfield MO.
Saw a few 4Runners, even a slightly modded white 5th gen that was eastbound on 70 near the airport in Indy.
 
Had some fun... lost my front valance and a rear mud flap along the way

Installed some rear Timbrens, and a Molle panel for my bananas. I also helped another brother out in installing some rear bumpstops on his 4runner too....not a bad day.

i just got these skids in and decided to do this tonight. i installed these hoping to deter theives from getting to the catalytic converters. there is an big isssue where i am at. and i also sprayed rubberized coating on the tow hitch since that is the first thing you see that rust easily especially after a season of salt.

would they fit upside down under the last crossbar?

Yes they fit perfectly upside down and that is originally how I wanted them but when upside down, the rear window spoiler will block most of the light and I did not like that. Like I have them now, it gives a better throw of light everywhere
