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

New 2020 RED! ORP woohoo

Parked my new ORP in my old, awful, (supposed to be rebuilt), carport. Also drove it...good times.
Sad part, traded in my 4th gen, overland built, go anywhere, do anything, kick ass truck. But it was silver, so I'm over it. :dance:

Decided to de-chrome the badges. I went with the Graphite Rust-oleum peel stuff.

Blacked out the bumpers. $20 for some Plasti Dip and masking tape. [emoji41]. That’ll keep her looking a bit better until I can put some proper bumpers on her.

Also blacked out the C-pillar labels

After almost a month, got to install this used gobi ladder. Run into some issues guess coz its used, but its done, its very sturdy and didnt damage any part of the ladder or the truck

Found some black roof rails online to continue with my removal of the silver trim.

Cool! This is probably my next project thanks for sharing

Trying something different here..... all Rigid Industries lights (2x spot/hyperspot, 2x driving/spot) on a Front Runner (also ARB awning mount, 2x Rotopax and quick release for the Autohome). Rear facing spot/flood. 2x driving with amber covers behind the grill. Also, Swapped our fogs for Morimoto. The fun part of wiring the SwitchPro still to come....

Do you have pictures of the install for the behind the grill lights?

Trimmed the Lim & installed MLC

Running 1.5" RC wheel spacers. Caster adjustments took care of rear rubbing, but the limited trim hangs down in the front sooo much... It's been annoying me for a while. So, I got the angle grinder and heat gun out. Was able to trim the lower wind thing, cut the brackets off that hold wind thing to the bumper, and trim a lot of fender liner. Actually remounted the liner to the fender post-cut - a la liner push forward mod that has been discussed ad nauseam - but, mine is now much farther forward. Anyway, this was kinda fun, and now you can see all my undercarriage bits.

Also! Installed a Rough Country MLC switch and power distribution block. Cleaned up my wiring and am currently using 4 of the 6 switches. There really isn't a good place to mount the switch housing in the interior of the 5th gen, so I made one. Cut out the "pen holder tray" just forward the gear shifter. The gasket is something I will likely upgrade and clean up, as it sort of bowed up in the cold overnight. BUT, really happy with where these switches are and the cleaned up simplicity of the MLC system.

Switches powering
1 - 30" single row (road)
2 - 8 qty very helpful rock lights (rock)
3 - 2 qty 6 inch roof rack lights (rack)
4 - blank
5 - blank
6 - power inverter (mounted to left of lower dash)

Anyway, here are some photos:

[MENTION=3233]RedRunner[/MENTION], all brackets are custom bent out of I think 16ga aluminum except behind the grill, 90 degree “L” shaped brackets out of steel. I think Rago sells behind the grill brackets for round lights tho.

Intake today, combined it with Trd exhaust for for the win! really brought out a beast mode
Added bonus, did a 30 mile trek on the highway set cruise @55 (speed limit here and cops everywhere) and got 25. Doing the same pre intake never even broke 24

Week two of my Coastal Offroad rear bumper build. Didn't like the blocky look of the kit but liked the price. I tacked the bumper kit together as it was shipped to me then started in on customizing it. 4 of the corners got cut out and replaced with a section of 1.38" OD dom to make the corners flow a little better. There was also room to cut another facet into the rear. Basically cut a pyramid shaped piece out of each side, starting from just outside the rear mounting bolts to nearly the shackle hangers. Hard to see in the pics but it basically makes the bumper look like it is tapered up and forward from the back. Still have plans to integrate some backup lights.

Spare tire carrier was needed for the 295/70-17's that went on a few weeks back. Winged it on the carrier, using a 4X Innovations hinge/tire plate and Destaco clamp. A ball/socket setup near the clamp eliminates any movement when latched. Spare is parallel to the rear window leaving room under it for a hi-lift jack (mount TBD).

Pumpkin snorkel head for the snorkel.

How did you light the pumpkin?

 

[LakeRunr]

Exposed this:

And filled it with this:

Also organized some tools:

And installed a Wizgear magnetic cellphone holder in just the right spot:

How did you light the pumpkin?

Came with a light bulb, so just running it through the door frame behind the snorkel and closing the door to keep it in place. Left a little slack so bumps and stuff it doesn't yank.

Then just plugging it into an inverter in the cigarette lighter.
