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

Put new shoes on. Went with the stock size (265/70/R17) BFG AT KO2. Need some sliders soon as the offroading season as began.

Put the old Thule ( it’s 20 years old!) and the Kayak carrier on today.

Now just need to find a bike carrier for these “wicked” bikes. Any suggestions?

So I've spent the last few days figuring out how to mount my new RoadShower onto my flat crossbars with very low clearance. They are too low for me to properly mount the RS clamps, and the clamps are the wrong shape for my bars.

What I ultimately came up with was to use these End Of The Road Super Quick Fist Rubber Clamps and Rhino straps so that the shower would be secure, but it would also be easy to setup and to remove. I did use two of the longest bolts from the RoadShower install kit; and secured them in place on the shower to fit into two proper-sized slots on my rails. But the bolts are not anchored underneath the rail. They are just there to keep the shower from shifting around when I'm driving. (You can see then in the last photo)

I figured it might be nice to remove the shower during a trip, and this setup makes that easy (as long as the shower is empty). I had a small damage issue in shipment, so I'm waiting for a new hose. The quick-release shower will suffice for my first pressure test. I'm very impressed with this setup and can't wait to take it into the great outdoors!

Nothing wrong with a little bit of rice.

Bought front and rear emblems for the mall crawler. I was going to go the route of the trd grill, but everybody has it so I decided to black-out the front cross bumper pillars and slap some unique emblems on to match.

scouted snow levels

LOL, [MENTION=144752]MarkamisPrime[/MENTION], deep snow. I hope you have a backup plan or really big tires. Good luck!

Pretty.

Finally a few days with no predicted rain so it got a good interior cleaning and wash. It was filthy with the darn yellow pollen that covers it then rain makes a real mess.

“Third time is a charm,” right?

Swapped out the gloss red TOYOTA grill logo vinyls. The matte red looked pink and the gloss didn’t look like the skid plate TRD. Gloss white is pretty bright. I wonder if this is where I should have gone with matte (white).

Anyhow... here is my list of mods:

Cornfed Suspension 2”/1” spacer lift.
Toytec differential drop kit.
Toytec sway bar relocate kit.
SPC/LR UCAs.
White Knuckle Off Road rock sliders.
Husky Liner Weatherbeater (front to back).
Headlight Revolution full interior lights, reverse lights, F/R LED turn signals, HID low and LED high beams.
Tinted front door windows (%?).
RAV4 blind spot side view mirrors.
IMPORTequipement “fangs,” hood bulge glare eliminator and TOYOTA grill logo vinyls.
Toyota logo projector puddle lights (front only).

Thank you and good day/holiday weekend.
