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

Blew out my knee putting away my RTT this morning.

Finished a little cabinet for the back of my 4Runner. Two full length drawers on the bottom and one on the side for when I sleep back there. Also have a bin on top and mounted my first aid kit.

After a few years of not modding either 4Runner, I placed an order for OME lift and Falken Wildpeak 275/70/17 AT3Ws for the wife. Install this Thursday at the local Toyota dealer (also an ARB dealer).
 
Cleaning up the car and had to get under the hood and look what I found. It is amazing how fast squirrels can get in and make a mess. In the nest I found the wire connection that was chewed off, I looked all over and I didn't see any chewed on wires. Then I realized that this was the tank sensor connection from my camper. The little bugger chewed it off the trailer and dragged it into his nest for a late night snack. I'm so glad I evicted him before he started on the 4Runner.

Took advantage of the beautiful day we had in Michigan and gave the 4r a bath.

Yeah, with the abnormally warm weather, my ground squirrels are popping up. So I was out with my 10/22 doing some squirrel patrol. Stopped to take a break and have a dark beer and took this photo yesterday.

Got the Trail roof rails cleaned up over the weekend and finally got them up. Happy with the result and glad to finally have a pair to match the Trail running boards I had on.

looks awesome. Where did you get the Trail running boards from?
 
Not exactly today but Thursday, traded in my 16' Trail and brought home a 20' TRD ORP. I'd love to post a pic but I have no idea how to lol
 
Well, I haven't "done" anything with them yet, but my new TRD wheels arrived via UPS. $644 brand new for the full set, delivered, thanks to that big TRD sale last week.

Re-installed my stock rear springs

I had installed Dobinson shocks and springs two years ago, and the rear lifted more than expected. Since I kept the 4Runner fully-loaded most of the time, it didn't look too bad.

After selling my RTT and removing most of my camping and recovery gear, my rake has now increased to 2.5". Before trying other springs or spacers, I wanted to reinstall my stock springs to establish a baseline.

The 4Runner now has 0 rake (measured hub to fender). I assume I'll get reverse rake with gear loaded, but I'll try this for a while and see what it needs.

Finished up the roof rack a couple weeks ago. Pumped with how it turned out.
