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

How did the install go? Do you have a shot straight on from the front? I have yet to order mine...

Install wasn’t too difficult but I will say the template they give you is not correct. The holes were off towards the passenger door. So underneath on the fender is ugly but oh well. I will get a shot from the front shortly
 
Finally got my intake in after a month and a half wait. Paired it with a K&N filter.

Hey all
New to me, 2014 SR5 and new to the forum. Been busy with all the great info on here. So far Bilstein 5100 front and rear, front @1.75. New pads & rotors, Jesse’s tail gate mod. BFG 275-70-17 . Removed 3rd row seats and will start on a new floor. Put some Matt black automotive wrap on top of the head and tail lights, Arizona sun isn’t nice to plastic, and made a new friend in the desert .

What is the purpose of the automotive wrap? Is it mostly aesthetic, or does it reduce glare while driving with the headlights on? Or, is it something else?:thumb:
 
I debagged the pillars awhile back but held onto a set to put it on the rear hatch. Plastidipped that and the 4Runner logo in Anthracite Grey, trying to match the front on the heritage grill, comes out a bit darker but close enough for now. Also dipped the valences to black, glad to have that ugly silver gone

Took the Kayak out for the first time. Only caught one but not too bad for my first NY fish.

Really like the rear storage idea. I always have tons of little things sliding around in the back that would be so cool tucked away. I'm sure I could re-create this but I don't suppose you kept any measurements/schematics laying around? Looks simple enough but that would likely save me the hassle. Nice work!

I like it.
 
Picture time for things completed this week, well most. Not picture is cold air intake, TRD oil cap, odyssey battery with Agency 6 battery clamp.

Victory 4x4 blitz bumper with warn VR8-S winch and 20” light bar. Painted the shackles dark blue to match better. Also installed TRD skid plate with letters painted dark blue.

Pulled off and painted rear silver valance black and added recovery hitch w/shackle.

My dad and I then built a custom rear storage compartment that is level with the back seats folded flat. Only has about 4” of space (bottom to top)but works for straps, tools and recovery gear to keep it out of the way. I wanted it level so I could sleep on it if needed.

Damn! I LOVE the storage compartments, nice and low but very useful. Would love to see some more pics and detail of the build process. I'd love to delete my third row and do an install like this. Looks great!
 
Managed to install my Ellis Precision shift knobs before the Whalers/Hurricanes get swept by the Bruins.
