Wow, I can't believe you're the first to tell me this! I guess I'll have to figure out another place to host the pic! Thank you.
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Got the C4 Rock Sliders mounted up this morning. Not a hard job by any means, just time consuming. Did it by myself with only a 1/2" wrachet, 12-14mm sockets and a adjustable wrench. No jacks, blocks or anything else.

With these spacers do you notice if the 4R handles or steers differently? Thx.

Nothing super exciting, but I'm pretty happy how it turned out!
67designs Simple ball mount, Nano arm, Universal phone mount. Learned about 67 here from twistedjake's phone mount post and adapted it.
Props to the crew at 67! I can't believe how solid this thing is! One handed phone mount and dismount.
disclaimer: I'm a total noob. Apologies if this post turns out wonkie.

Much better now. Now that we can see the pictures, the "hulk" thing makes sense.

I don't think so. There's a very mild rub at full lock, but i'll adjust the liner and I'm sure it'll go away.
LOL I can't believe my pics weren't showing! Some of my posts even got likes with no picture links working!
Your posts worked fine for me.

Ceramic Coated
On Saturday I had the Pro paint corrected and ceramic coated at my home while I was at work. Carlos with Serranos Mobile Detailing Services did an amazing job. He did every inch of paint, glass, and lights on the whole vehicle. It only had about 800 miles on it so the paint was already near perfect.
It sat in the garage and cured until I took it to work this morning.

I just wanted to comment on my ceramic pro and paint correction job. I had mine done 18 months ago, and for a complete job like TRD HULK it was $1300 for the 5 year plan. I had Toyota pay $500 towards it since the dealer prep was so bad a regular detail shop could not get out all the swirls. The paint and clear on these newer 4Runners are not as good as my 2001 4Runner. So far, I have been very pleased with the results. I even went 5 months without washing it and it turned out just like when it was done. I think the paint correction on certain colors and cars is the most important stage.

Pretty much spot on. My guys normal price starts at $1,200.
So here's what I did.
I joined a local 4Runner Facebook group. Made a post with a picture of my Pro and said "Anyone local willing to do ceramic coating to a brand new 4Runner for under $500?"
A lot of people did the laughing emoji and made jokes that I was poor etc etc.
A couple people tagged Serrano's Mobile Detailing claiming he was the best anywhere locally, and the owner ended up reaching out and said if the paint was like new then he would do it. I work at a huge dealership and offered promoting his company on our social media. Turns out he had already bought 3 vehicles from one of my best sales guys over the years! Small world.
He was happy to do it, did an AMAZING job, and once I saw how long it took him I tipped him on top of the cost.
