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

Installed DDM Tuning Saber LED DRL/highbeam combo. Man they are bright! Have been flashed a few times already.

2year warranty and zero modifications to make them fit.

Here’s the difference in size. Old DRL leds vs the new DDM

Installed blackout taillights from USR. Pretty subtle since the turn signals are still chrome but I like it.

First time towing our new travel trailer today. Even at only 3000lbs empty, we 100% need a pickup truck. The 4Runner can handle it but it is not at all confidence-inspiring. It feels like it generally brakes fine with the wireless brake controller, but acceleration and changing road conditions: you can feel every little ounce of that thing back there, even with the weight distribution hitch.

Not sure what we'll do in the next few months but getting rid of the 4Runner may be a forced decision.

Best of luck, that is a wise choice. You are certainly not the first to discover this even when others are blasted for expressing the same opinion beforehand. You will get many years of great memories out of the TT, enjoy!

I rented a Uhaul flatbed trailer to take my riding mower to the shop for repair. Pulled it with the 4Runner. It was not confidence inspiring drive. Can't imagine trying to pull a travel trailer with the 4Runner.
 
Tank looks like a pavement princess after his 4 hour bath yesterday. Not to worry though, I'm sure he'll be dirty again by tomorrow lol

Nothing better than a super clean truck. Doesn't matter how dirty it gets, I'll literally get under it with a rag, sponge, detailers brush, and clean every inch of it. Before playing in the mud, shoot everything under it with quick detailer or tire shine. Helps everything wash off easier when you're done and also protects from rust.

Spent all weekend getting this sucker lifted. Lots of blood, sweat, and curse words to get everything in. Definitely some trial and error involved but super happy with how everything came out. I have a bunch of other pics, but I gotta edit em first.

Super happy with how it came out. A bit of trimming is needed for sure, but I am waiting to do that until I can get an alignment and crank up the caster. But all in all, it's definitely not bad from first looks at it. Parts list below.

Kings Front and Rear w/Remote Resis
JBA UCAs
Durobump Bumpstops Front and Rear
Dobinsons Rear Variable Springs
Dobinsons Rear Sway Bar End Links
SCS F5 17x8 -10
BFG KO2 285/70

I got my Prinsu Rack installed today. It looks SO MUCH BETTER than the stock '19 TRD rack in my opinion! (FYI the yellow tape is only there to hold the weather strip in place until the glue dried.)
Gonna start looking for a ladder now.

Got a good deal on an unused front runner 3/4 slimline rack. Some scratches from laying on the concrete garage floor but works for me. Installed yesterday!

I'm in no way affiliated, but if anyone is looking for a set of wheels, wheelwell.com is currently running a $500 off $1000 with promo code wishlist500. They have a nice selection of fifteen52, black rhino, and method wheels.

Also, may be putting my TRD Pro wheels up for sale if I find a suitable replacement. Selling wheels online is a pain, though.
 
Home made tire carrier/table/ladder set up

Finished the next evolution of a tire carrier I have been playing around with.... it folds down when camping to extend my galley.
