Would wholeheartedly recommend you try and go before the snow comes and you have to wait 8 months before you can attempt again. Weather during the day is awesome right now.
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

checked out one of the closer shelf roads we have close by and used my indeflate unit for the first time since purchase to air up/down.
we were looking at 8200+ feet above sea level.
aired down to 18 psi on my falken wildpeaks (p-metric btw) and slogged up different kinds of terrain ranging from mud/sand, to rocks/boulders and scree and snow up top.
it was pretty rough, and got a shitload of pinstriping on the truck with bush overgrowth on the trail - not pictured.
no lockers, sr5 truck.
i will say that i am very very happy with the wildpeaks. only had traction problems on boulders/rocks with muck on them and had to just reverse a bit and use momentum to get up.
on the way down, had to use DAC as theres some really sketchy parts on the ridge with snow on it.
also, on the way down ive def used my sliders more than once on tight turns that have rocks and boulders on them. thanks Jason@RSG!
all well worth it though!
bonus! love me some 3rd gen t4r

Some sketchy trails right there - but risk=reward! I just got the AT3W in P-metric. I’ve read that they don’t require airing down for comfort/traction but for soft sand, since the sidewalls are softer. If aired down they don’t need to go below high 20s. Obviously mixed reports but you’ve clearly got some first-hand low pressures. I believe the only warning against airing down is bead loss... your thoughts? And what did you think of the indeflate unit?

yeah i saw that on the other thread on load E vs p-metric.
im not sure about only airing down p-metric at3ws on sand and i cant speak for those who commented that tbh.
then again, im not going at baja runner speeds as the trail is tight and technical all the way through. a little tighter and it would have been a dedicated atv trail only.
What i can say based on my own experience is that the tires have been banged up on sharp rocks and on the rock garden we've gone on and theres multiple marks on the sidewall to prove that, no problems whatsoever. was running about 60-80 km/h on the wider forestry service road on our way home with washboard type of surfaces, no problems.
hopped on the highway going home doing an average of 110-130km/h, still tracks straight, no vibrations, no problems. note that some parts in pouring rain, other parts dry as well if that makes a difference.
the wheelers that i was with whos been wheeling for several years and loads of experience in our type of local terrain still highly recommend airing down even for a p-metric tire (which some of them were running) as they've advised me its better for the tire against damage from rocks and i get a better beadlock since my wheels are skinny (trd pro wheels)
also note that at altitude 18 psi became about 22-23 psi per tire haha
as demonstrated by this bag of cheetos lol

Do our SR5s come pre-wired with this? Do you have directions on how to install and take apart the head console? I'm super interested in doing this.
Thanks!

Painted overlays
Duplicolor Gunmetal (matches Rays 10 perfectly, but a little darker than the TOYOTA grill)
Then I dealt with UPS!! Pre Ordered a X-Cover months ago. Finally it was shipped. Received a call Friday to arrange a delivery yesterday. They gave me a 10 hour window!!!... So I had to take the day off. Then at 6:30 and no tent I called the person who arranged the delivery, she passed me off to another person who told me it was lost and he could not help, then he gave me another phone number and told me to ask for the High Value Claims Dept. (which does not exist) the person that answered that phone number could not help me and gave me another phone number but they where gone for the day! iKamper is taking care of it. Soooo frustrating!

No differences in wiring at all. 5 minute job. It took longer to program the codes for my 2 openers into the Homelink then it did to swap the consoles. It was a great first project for my 6 year-old daughter to help with.
I think there are probably threads here somewhere that show you how to remove the console, but it's a 3 step process:
1 - Remove 2 screws under the sunglasses holder
2 - Pull down to remove to clips at aft end of console (you'll see the location of the clips in the new console when you purchase it)
3 - Unplug electrical connecter.
Installation is the reverse of removal.

Did you remove them or paint them on the truck? Truck for removing?
Nothing like cutting a new car panel in half in an attempt to improve the audio, while trying to keep my 3rd row and storage available.
Started with the JBL 8” sub. Ripped it, the factory enclosure and factory amp out. Built a DYI sealed enclosure out of 5/8” MDF. Went with Rockford Fosgate signal processor, 1000 watt amp and 10” Punch p3 sub.
Lots of work, but sounds amazing!

I found black overlays on Amazon for $80. Super easy, just laid them out, painted from 4 angles to get into all the areas. 2 light coats, finished with a med coat. Then applied
i also want to know more about the landcruiser in the garageI installed my LFD 3/4 rack, fairly easy installation, even for one guy. I still have two more crossmembers to install, but ran out of time today.

The truck tucked away in the garage is a 1964 FJ-40 that I've owned for more than 20 years. It has 77k miles, and a 4" lift, 33's, Celica GTS seats, a floor shifter conversion, and an Autometer gauge cluster I designed. I also swapped in a GM Alternator. It's been taking a nap for way too long. I started an axle swap with FJ-55 axles I bought from a friend, and am to the point where I have to rebuild the brake systems. I've already restored most of the hard top for it too. One of these days I'll get back to working on it, but for now, it's safely tucked away in the garage. Here's a tiny pic from when I drove it to Moab back in 1999:

Things are super sturdy and solid.
