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

This spring, an overzealous Carolina Bluebird went on a full-frontal attack on nearly every glass surface on our property... my wife and I spent 3 hrs cleaning the windows on our house and putting on screens, but the oversexed bird moved on to my 4Runner.

I put some camo netting on the side he was attacking the most, but in the meantime ordered a cover from an eBay listing that looked decent for the price.

Fits Toyota 4Runner 6 Layer SUV Car Cover Outdoor Water Proof Rain Sun New Gen | eBay

Came today... bit of an ordeal to put it on but fits pretty well other than having to cut a hole for the antenna.

Take that, you little pooping freak of a bird!

Sounds like you need a pellet gun to cure that little problem.
 
Tire pressure light was on. Passenger side rear tire looked low. Went to air it up this morning and found a nail in the tire. I pulled the nail out and plugged it.

Pro tip - taking the wheel / tire off the truck makes it a lot easier.

Good job, mon. That’s a pretty slick repair kit, where did you find it? Also, what’s with the bottle corks?

Thanks!

Corks are to keep me from stabbing myself... I had the tire tools in a Crown Royal bag previously.

I swear I've probably aired this tire up at least twice now thinking it was extreme temperature changes causing it to be low.

I'm hoping I picked the nail up at the hardware store instead of one of the trails I've been on recently.

I bought one of these after getting a rock cut on the trail of my ATV. It came in canvas bag. I keep Plugs & Tools in the bag. It's in the 4Runner But when I ride it goes into storage area so if on trail I don't have to ride back to trailer on a flat. I would use it IF I needed to inflate 4Runner tire to get to a safer place to repair i.e. NOT along High way:
OnlineFlow Santa Ana MF-1035 12 Volt Portable Air Compressor | 9892794 | Pep Boys
Has Brass fittings on both ends, NOT that cheap Plastic flip for tire valve stem like a lot do.

I keep a Viair 300P in my 4Runner. Have used some really cheap ones in the past and never was happy with em.

Wired up my own grille lights with AMP Superseal connectors. Made a bracket out of aluminum to hold a circuit breaker and the GEP fuse/relay box that I wired up. Also installed the Anytime Backup Camera with a front camera.

Clean looking truck. Looks like there's pretty good clearance with that set-up. It also looks like they should come with that. Do you have any shots showing how much space is between the ladder and the tire? I've been eyeing his fabrications for a bit. Always like to support local (he's only an hour and a half from me). I'm just hesitant by the time I spend the $ I could have a full rear bumper set-up for a bit more.
