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

You left out the best part - compressing and squeezing the bags through the coils! (source - did it on my 2006, haven't had the need on my 2019 yet).
 
Busy last couple of days. Installed skid plate/inserts and Bora 1” wheel spacers.
I like your build. Simple, but, clean, and stands out as compared to factory. Thinking about adding a bug deflector and the LFD 3/4 rack when they redesign it. I am interested in your Bora 1” spacers. I know you are running the same size tire, 275-70-17 KO2’s and about the same lift as I am. Any issues with rubbing? How are the Bora’s compared to the 1.25” Spidertrax and would the extra 1/4” have created rubbing? I am 22.5” in the front and 22.75” in the rear. Can you let me know about the spacers and your measurements? TIA
 
Towed my car over the weekend to the track, I was surprised how well it did, averaged 11mpg.

Thanks dude, It would probably be ok with an aluminum trailer, especially if you don't have any major grades. Also your g37 looks awesome.

Thanks. i appreciate it. i have a new front bumper for it. waiting to get it painted. i think im pretty much done. I dont want to go too crazy on power. i did lighten up my interior a little. lol it might help me if i ever decide to flat trailer it.

I want to try out camping in the 4R so this weekend I decided to build something that would level out the cargo area when the seats are folded down. I added a slide out tray that will come in handy as well. Ended up painting it black with bedliner but may end up wrapping it with carpet.

Threw a few ideas together that were inspired by this forum and I am super happy with the results.

Do you mind sharing your measurements? This is exactly what I'm looking to build. :thumb:
 
Threw these guys on a few days ago. Inexpensive and protective little magnetic door handle protectors. Cupeez.......cheap on Amazon. One size fits all. We've had them on the wife's ride for a few years now. Zero issues and they've never moved.

I installed my Total Chaos A-Arm skids that I saved off of my 2005 before it sold.
Before installing they were cleaned up and repainted.

There is also a new addition to my glove box

This dual USB outlet is wired to the second battery and is always powered up to allow charging
when the engine is not running. With no load it pulls less than 0.014 Amps

Just got home from the shop with my new Victory 4x4 Blitz Sliders installed and all the lights wired up. I really like that the lights are somewhat practical rock lights that illuminate the wheels so I can see what's going on at night. The sliders look awesome and are great peace-of-mind for off-road. I even have 4 new hi-jack points I can use! I placed the switch - thanks Rago - in the center console so I could access the lights from either side of the truck. I'll post some daytime photos tomorrow that show the sliders better, and will also show my new Victory Molle panel and roof crossbars with accessories.

I used two 1/2" pieces of plywood on top of 2x2s (1.5"x1.5") for a total of 2.5" of height. The measurements between the wheels is 43.25" and the measurements from the liftgate to the seats is 41".

The bottom piece of plywood is cut about 3" shorter than 41" due to the upward angle at the back of the seats. I didn't figure this out until laying everything in the back so you should see what I am talking about.

Looks great man. Almost identical the one I built as well. Having the slide out is so damn convenient, I use mine a ton.

Awesome dude! Thanks! Are you anchoring it down or is it just placed there?
