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

Merry Christmas!

Here's a little Christmas lights video I did a couple years ago:

And this is my all-time favorite YouTube Christmas video:

Loving all of these mods! (I'm getting so many ideas!)

Added snow tires to mine yesterday - just in time for a 3 day storm that's about to sit on us.

Leveling with Bilsteins next week -- woot!
 
I had my front windows tint matched on December 7th. Its been dark and cold so there are still some bubbles in them that I am waiting on to evaporate or cure....I guess it was a bad idea to get it tinted in December....
 
Went to the dealership today looking to buy a black hood scoop vent for my quicksand to match the glare-killing decal I put on the scoop. Salesman intercepted me and tried to sell me a 2019 PRO. When I told him I'm never ditching the Quicksand color he offered to sell me a 2020 in Quicksand.

I think they just say whatever comes into their small little heads....

You just gotta be patient - park it in the sun as much as you can.
 
Finally had some time to install these puppies

Installed a rear camera. Used that one thread (cannot find at the moment), where the poster used a fire extinguisher sign as the mounting plate. The camera I installed is technically a dash cam, not a specific rear view cam.
 
And kudos to my brother, who's (gift offers to) gonna pull me out any time! THX BRO! (Sorry picture sideways, I'll figure this forum out...)

New Suspension setup, I waited way too long to do this. The difference in road manners is incredible, can't wait to hit the trails. Only downside is that my 275/70/17 tires are looking a little on the dinky side now. Thinking about adding some wheel spacers to improve my stance until I need to replace the tires.

Next up, bolting on these sliders.

Are these longer than the stock ones?
Where did you get them? Thanks

Got them from RESZ Fab, they are made slightly longer in order to center the axle after lifting the rear. They have several options for joints, I went with the duroflex joints. Definitely worth upgrading the rear links it in my opinion, rides so much better over bumps. Be prepared to wait though, took almost 6 months for them to come in.

There is an option when ordering to select that you have a 10-13. I was never able to find a picture of one on an early model, so I just decided I'd give it a shot. My brother had a welder and is helping me with that. He hasn't done a great deal of welding, but it has been very straightforward with just a couple items we've had to work around. I'll post some more pictures as we progress. Hoping to at least get all the welding done within the week. It will then just be a matter of weather cooperating enough to paint.

Is there a non welding option? or is that what they provide, welding needed bumpers.
