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

Installed Eibach Pro Lift and 1/2” Cornfed spacer in the rear for a little extra lift as well. Had it aligned right after and couldn’t be happier with the ride and lift so far.

Definitely getting great traction on those tires, truck sticks even upside down! :bluejump:
 
ORdered up some Icon Overland rear springs in preparation for my Shrockworks rear to arrive. Was gonna get around to changing Tcase oil but it’s just too damn cold.. not having a heated garage sucks. Big time.
 
I bought it

I hope this is appropriate for the thread, but today (yesterday really) I bought my 4Runner.

Got good and stuck for a bit! Thought the creek in front of us was frozen solid but it very much wasn't. Lesson learned - get out and walk it first! It was just a deep enough drop that we ended up resting on our front skid and couldn't back out easily. Dug a bit out and stuck some maxtrax under the tires and we got free. Turned around and went back the way we came (when solo wheeling our usual rule is 2wd/open diffs until we get stuck, then turn everything on to get out of it and turn around).

Took Berdoo Canyon Trail to JTNP. New lift and tires worked well. There were so many 5th gens out there! It was fun.

Some lighting and rack updates/reviews:

Headlights
Lows, XD 6k HID (forget bulb type), 35watt.
Just OK. Need to try other bulbs.
Highs, XD LED w/anti flicker. Great as high beam at night
too bright as DRL.
Turn signals, LASFIT switch backs, almost too bright.
Fogs, Morimito LED, almost worthless
Behind grill, 6” Rigid industries driving pattern with an
Amber cover. Awesome lights.
Roof, 2x RI spot/hyper spot inner and 2x driving/spot
outside. Awesome specs and optics. Custom brackets.
Rear, 8” RI flood/spot, also great light.
Also, LED door lights, back up and rear turn signals.

All lights running through Switch Pro, best product ever!

Rack
Front Runner, quick release tent mounts, rotopax mounts, ARB awening mounts.
Long install but best rack ever and endless accessory
Options.

Sprint Booster, didn’t think I needed it till I got it. Must have.

Why don't you read what I wrote. I was testing the lane departure feature and in a controlled situation. You should be thankful for "people like me" for testing shit out and not depending on what we think its supposed to do.
So tell me, have you ever tested anything on your vehicles to see how it works? I hope so because people that don't, scare me

Usually I read the manual first, so that I understand what the feature actually does.
 
Went out to the Ghost River valley with a group of folks from Krave Automotive out of Calgary! Pushed the runner quite a lot harder than I thought it was capable of but it did great! Definitely moved a new skid plate further up my list of priorities though, the stock one has a huuuuuge dent in it now! Never would have gone down some of these trails without a group around so that was great.

added a little color to the steering wheel.(tvdvinyldecals.com). Really good quality vinyl. I'm not too sure how much I like it though, it's a lot of contrast to the sliver trim pieces. I either need more red or...

Also added reverse sensors on the corners for the wife, had a cpl adult beverages after the game last week and had to let the wife drive us home. She's either 10ft or 1" from trouble while backing out, so painful! Hoping these will help her out a little next time. $15 ebay cheapo. Simply connect to the red wire and white/blk wire on the taillight.
