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

I installed my own version of the interior fishing rod holder setup. Write-up on separate post.

Went camping over the weekend and slayed some brown/rainbow trout. Currently bummed thinking about sitting in my office all week.

I ran it 24hrs without the wind deflector and it HOWLED above 35-40mph. Installed the wind deflector and now I would almost swear it is more quiet with the sunroof open than it was stock.

It's insane how much of a difference that wind fairing makes. When I had my Gobi Stealth I also ran it for a day or two without the fairing and it sounded like there was a jet engine on my roof. Fairing basically makes it silent.

Your truck looks awesome. Notice any profound MPG difference going to that size Wildpeak AT3Ws?
 
Finally got around to installing my new TRD PRo Skid, Grey TRD PRo Wheels, and some General Grabber AT/Xs in 265/70/17. I guess since I have not posted here in some time, my newish hitch mount and Toyota LED Fog lights. She is coming along nicely. More mods coming... once my wallet recovers.

I installed Bilstein 5100’s (set to 1.75” of lift) all the way around and 1.5” Daystar rear spacers. 285/70/17 KO2’s will get thrown on Monday.

Interested to hear if you have any rubbing issues. I have that exact same suspension setup as you and am undecided on 285s/265s.

He'll rub the front bumper and need a fender liner mod. You'll rub there no matter what you do. Buy the correct wheels and you'll have little to no problems. People that have to do excessive cutting are running the wrong wheels, it's that simple.
 
Just finish installing the Baja Design Squadron Sports Wide Angle...Pretty easy install. I just need to make adjustments if any tonight.

Today...went on steroids/antibiotics for both eyes after getting something in them after yesterday’s modding. Glasses and blurry vision, ug

Yesterday:
Rago hidden led light brackets with Baja S8 30” amber
Upper grill 20” Baja combo (tinted the lens with film, very stealthy)
Baja Sport Amber fogs
Morimoto leds high and low beams
Morimoto reverse LEDs
Switchback turns (huge pita mod for larger hands)
Front fender liner mod (Rays 10s with AT3W 165 rub)
Rally Armor flaps (stock also rubbed)
TRD Pro grill mod
Weather Tech window things
Tried wrapping front valance, failed
2 Advil with two beers, followed by hot tub
 
Did a quick LED conversion. Only thing left is the front exterior. Next up is wash and wax when the weather cooperates.

I just replaced my interior & reverse lights with LEDs. lost a bulb in the passenger side housing. started the license plate lights but the screws were rusted. I'll get replacement screws and mess with them when I have more daylight.
 
First week- Wheels/tires, grill and rack being made.

I'm likely going to keep my SR5 wheels which is one of the main reasons I'll probably just stick with the 265s. I commute 40+ miles round trip 4x/week and I rarely leave the pavement. But dang, do I like the look of 285s.

How are you liking the new tires, dry/wet driving conditions/road noise etc...? I'm close to replacing the tires on my wife's 4runner and have been considering these tires.

I lost the driver side map light, so I had to drop down part of the console it sits in. That was not fun at all!

So far their wet/dry performance has been stellar. I have not been able to test hydroplaning performance yet, but they are solid. I do have a slight vibration at highway speeds 60-80 and needed a rebalance and re-alignment, but they are great tires so far. They do transmit road imperfections more than the Bridgestone Duelers, but that was all they were good for. I was initially at 35 PSI but dropped down to 33 to absorb more of the road imperfections. It was a toss up between these and Falken Wildpeak AT3s but the Falkens were a special order. So I chose what was in stock.
 
What sliders are you running? The are so stealthy

It's my dirty secret.....I just took the steps off the N-Fab rails that came with it. They're not true sliders but they offer some protection, at least until I decide on what sliders to go with.

How long did you wait for your order to arrive?

Ordered from the group buy back in late December/January. Ordered placed ~Jan 16th and a box showed up this last Friday (May 3rd I believe)
