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

Here's another video from my recent trip. This one features some of the fantastic scenery and amazing wildlife that I saw in Nevada.

This is the seventh in a series of videos from my 2019 trip, where I explored old mines, mining camps, ghost towns and other historic sites in Nevada and the Mojave desert.

Thank you for your videos. They are very well done with pertinent information. The music is perfect and your narration is great. Keep 'em coming!
 
So today I had my 2019 TRD PRO in at the dealership and asked my Tech to look and see if there was a setting that would turn on my key fob while pressing unlock button and holding it so it would roll down the windows.. And I have to say with success that it worked!! So not only does it roll down all 4 door windows it also opens the sunroof!! Just thought I would pass this along.. Also if there are any other cool thing that are hidden within the software please share!!

I had my 1st service on my OR last week and totally forgot to have them do that!!

Oh well next time.

I noted that they put my truck right up front so I could see them servicing it through the glass windows between the waiting room and service area.

Had to ask them to wash the truck. Guy stated most customers don't want to wait for a car wash.
 
Went camping with a bunch of friends over the holiday weekend and tested out the new RTT at Dosewallips State Park. Saturday morning a herd of elk moved in and took up residence right next to us - some wandering within 20'-30' of our tents. Man those things are big!

Sunday morning I packed up and met some other friends at the Ape Cave near Mt. St. Helens. I can't recommend this place enough. It's a 2 mile long lava tube you hike through. There are no guides, no tours and no lights, so bring a headlamp and sturdy pants, shoes and gloves - be prepared to climb over a lot of rubble!

Having no where else in particular to be, I wandered up the roads on the east side of Mt. St. Helens on my way home and took a stop at Windy Ridge. The spot lived up to its name, as it was pretty windy and the views were absolutely stunning with Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood making appearances in the distance. Helens herself decided to hide in a cloud :(

Took delivery of my JBA UCA's. I resisted the company president's attempt to convert me to his lord and savior. Unfortunately I don't worship false Billy Idols. :rockon:

That's a decent movie, you should watch it and tell us if you felt the urge to convert.
 
Best HI beam bulb upgrade

I’m only posting in here because I’m locked from making a new thread.

I see a lot of posts about LED, HID, retrofit hi beams, and people asking about work around with DRL, etc.

An often ignored upgrade in the hi-beams is the 9011 Bulb in place of the OEM 9005. Not only are factory 9005 incandescent bulbs a lower output rated and less expensive bulb that will be low maintenance, but they are also a poor representation of the incandescent breed.

The 9011 is an evolution of the HIR1 bulb. It originally used a globe shaped bulb with IR reflective glass, and eventually evolved to an easier to manufacture more conventional design bulb with the same output. It sits directly in place of the 9005, minus a simple snip of the socket lugs. A small size jaw cable snipper cut to the top most lug to match the 9005 lugs, and you’re ready to go.

9005 lumens: 1680
9011 lumens: 2300

Many will compare this to LEDs with more lumens, but do not consider the light output pattern. The filament is physically much smaller than an LED. So while a 9011 might be lower total output in lumens than an LED, it generates about 200% more lumens in the emitter cross section it shares with an LED, which means the remaining LED lumens are scatter. The 9011 bulbs generate a very intense hotspot, and are truly a wall of light at night. I can easily see out to 300m at night.

Total cost of a pair of 9011 on Amazon is about $45, and DRL and flashing and everything still work like you want them to.

Found a dead bird inside the front bumper cover. I was wondering what that smell was...

I’m tired. It’s beer time.

Thx for the post,could u paste a pic of the lug so we can see how it looks.
