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

[Joe-Runner]

Updated the head unit from Entune 2 point Something to 5.2. Hopefully this will make my Bluetooth work better!

Took it back to the dealer and had all of the center caps replaced. For some reason, even though it only had 2 miles on it when I picked it up last week, all of the aluminum rings surrounding the Toyota emblem on the center caps were dented and loose. I didn't notice this until I washed it and cleaned the wheels. We swapped another set off of a new ORP they had on the lot.

Ha ha! Been there! I feel your pain.
After my first 5000 mile service (check fluids, rotate tires), the dealer service monkey dented the crap out of all my center caps. He probably used a rubber mallet to bash the caps on after the rotation. All it really takes is a slap of your hand to seat them.
After I discovered the damage I took it back and complained to the service manager. He ordered me a free set of new ones as replacements.
Lesson learned: if you’re going to use the dealer for the free two year service, remove the center caps before you take it in.

To summarize; if you have an update for your truck you download it to your computer, open the file, drag the file to a 2Gb or larger USB stick (or micro SD with adapter in my case). Turn on truck, click "apps," plug in USB, follow instructions on head unit, DONE!

So far mine is significantly smoother and quicker. Best of all, no more Bluetooth skipping or cutting out!

Caps, skid plates, bubble wrap the vehicle, one guy had his paint trashed, place go pros inside, under the hood and under the rig.
Wait, it's less work to just do it yourself!

Nothing new for 2019 to download, bummer!

Upgraded with the LC. They'll be together until I sell the 4Runner.

Last night I lit up an accident scene

What did I do in my 4Runner?
That's my 2018 in the background lighting up the back of the accident scene.

wow, nice! We don't see those much in Hawaii, dealer won't bring in unless special ordered.

 

[patkelly4370]

Removed the dealer sticker from the hatch. It wasn't large, but white letters on a black truck had to go.
Now that corner stands out because it's clean. That will change with 2 miles of dirt roads going to work.

Bought some new tires.
General Grabber ATX 265's
Ride is greatly improved over the stockers.
Smoother, more plush, more grip in the rain than my old KO2 as well.

Gave her a bath...

...then mounted my Thule bars with awning and Maxtrax. Finished by mounting my bike rack in the hitch.

 

[live2ride90]

Installed the GOBI rack a few months ago and went camping. Just ordered up a custom 2.25 / 2 leveling kit from [MENTION=9]Jason B[/MENTION], thanks for all the help man! Will be installing this in few weeks when its new larger tire time

hi, is that tool 15620-31060 Oil Filter Cap Assembly to remove oil filter?
Thanks

Finally got around to doing the first oil change using upgraded parts, making future oil changes a breeze with little or no oil mess and in about 30 minutes. Have RCI Aluminum full skid plate package and access to the oil filter cap assembly and drain plug couldn't be easier.

LED action

Installed led’s inside and out, tinted mirror blinkers and side marker light, and blacked out wheel center cap. The more black the better...only need to wrap front/rear valances and tint the blinker portion of the taillights and I think I’ll be done with cosmetic upgrades.

Added the Rola basket (yesterday). When the 3rd row is in use there’s practically zero cargo space available.
