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

Added the stealth blue ray10s and a bmc (finally) and a sticker lol. Tomorrow’s goal will be to decide if I want to keep the f5s or sell them [emoji848]

missed connection

me: blue trd orp
you: white trd off road w/ roof rack & trd pro wheels

you cut me off as i was staring at your car on 680 north. it was rush hour. i was cool with it.

hopefully we run into eachother again someday so i can figure out what roof rack you have, cuz it looked real nice.
 
“took a lot of great ideas from this forum and crafted my own sleeping platform. It’s got a slide out table and storage underneath. It fits level with the rear seats as well.”



Any specs or write up by chance?



Sorry man we just kind of winged it. It took a lot of cuttin to get it fit in there just right.

Looks great! How's the wind noise at hwy speeds??

Wind noise is minimal. Honestly I didn't notice it at all until I opened the shade on my sunroof and could hear a faint whooshing up there. No whistles or anything though. I Hope it stays quiet when I add the light bar.
 
Installed a full length Victory 4x4 roof rack w/ light bar cutout. I'm going to install an Extreme Led X6 White/Amber light bar as soon as I have time to run the wiring.

Just a heads up: I test fitted that bar to my roof rack and was not impressed. It's supposed to be a "spot" pattern and it threw so much glare on the hood unless I pointed it practically straight up. I returned it. No use in having a lightbar if your hood is brighter than the ground.

yikes!, I hope I have a different experience.
I need to rework one of the brackets that came with the roof rack to accommodate the light bar.

What was your setup with regard to how the bar was mounted on your roof rack?

I'll have my light bar sitting over a cutout on my fairing and have a couple inches of adjustment (front to back) for the light bar. I'm hoping that if too much light spills down on my hood I can just pull the light bar back an inch and cut off all spillover up to my front bumper.
 
Had front take-off TRD Pro coilovers and a set of SCS SR8 brushed copper wheels installed yesterday. I might have to do the front fender mod now.

ive got the same color and was thinking of the same wheel color combo. was afraid it would look too similar to subaru's color blocking but it works really well here. nice buy!

what size is everything? any mods you needed to do to clear it?
 
SchrockWorks Dimple Plate Sliders

Spoke to Mark at Schrockworks here in Houston and they had a few sets of sliders in stock. Walked in with CASH and walked out with a super deal.

Project took maybe 2 hours. The stickynuts are quite easy to work with, the finish is really nice. Found this installation guide which was quite helpful.
