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

Thanks for the great youtube video. I don't know how I would survive without YouTube lol.

I found this during the search in the forum and maybe it helps somebody else out in regards to transmission pan bolt torque.
Seems like other people are torquing it to 62-in pounds which equates to roughly 8-ft pounds. I guess that's all that's needed.

Drove to Belmont Mountain.

Took to Peekaboo Canyon in Kanab, Utah. We haven't had much rain so the trails were very dry and soft. She was an absolute champ (obviously).

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.

Very professionally done. You would think this was from the factory.

Very cool. :thumb3:
Any problem with AZ or UT services like food and lodging?
Did you hike Peekaboo and Spooky slot canyons?
Thx.

What are you powering that requires a 100 amp breaker?
Also what is your relay panel amperage rating ?

My wife's family lives in Kanab, so we always have a place to stay (we live about 90 minutes away in St. George). I'm not sure about lodging, but all the restaurants are open for take-out. I recommend Junction or Lotsa Motsa. Hiking Peekaboo is always a must, but I've never heard of Spooky slot canyon. Is it pretty cool?

Thanks for the restaurant tips. I’ve eaten at the Junction; it’s really good.
I haven’t hiked the Peekaboo-Spooky loop yet. But I talked to folks who did. They say it’s great. It involves some scrambling and could be daunting if you’re claustrophobic, it’s pretty tight in places. Big people cannot squeeze through some sections. One part of Spooky is 18 inches wide. Some recommend to start at Peekaboo then Spooky. There’s lots of info out there in hiking websites about what to expect.

Good eye! Nothing at the moment. I purchased the breaker a while ago when I had more ambitious electrical plans. I have a 25 amp breaker on the way. Right now the 100 amp is just acting as a master on-off switch. With the relays in the panel, it currently can handle 70 amps maximum.
 
Suma mirrors

Got the Suma performance mirrors installed. Great quality and easy install. Decided on the non-blue vs the blue tint. Have not had them out on the road yet but soon. Thanks to Eddy for great communication with the order.

Finished off my GMRS radio install, with some lessons learned along the way... per my posts in this thread: 283150-anyone-install-midland-mxt275-5th-gen.

Along the way I decided there may be another reason to change out the interior lights for LEDs. I don't need ultra bright, but they draw less power than incandescents. So perhaps, just perhaps, leaving the doors and the back hatch open all day while doing various interior work won't result in a dead battery :redbrick:

Yes, now I've realized its a good idea to throw the switches to 'off' rather than leaving them door controlled...

And further, I've used part of today doing additional research on my planned Dual Battery and Auxiliary Power Panel Install!
 
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.

Man that turned out amazing. I hope the detailer showed you proper methods to maintain the ceramic coating. Shinesupply.com has a product line meant for ceramic coatings for weekly washing, etc. among other companies like chemical guys

i'm so jealous of how nice that paint looks.
 
Used the tailgate for "tailgating."

After owning another 4Runner without the slide out, I must say, this is an exceptionally useful function that I thought was just a gimmick before [emoji108]

I didn't even know this existed! It would have been nice to get the blue since my T4R is Cavalry Blue but I took the plunge with the regular ones. Looks great!

You obviously Understood where I was going with my questions. The 25 amp breaker should do just fine with the Gage of the wires you show going to your relay.
Nice job with the mounting bracket.

Thank you! It really looks great in person.

He did tell me a little about maintenance but I also watched a lot of Chemical Guys videos for some extra pointers. I washed it for the first time yesterday with my new foam cannon and chemical guys and adams wash products. I love it!
 
Removed all 4 mud flaps, installed Revtek mud flap deletes in the rear, and pushed the front fender liners forward 1".

Love the look! Much cleaner and no more rubbing in the front caused by the Spidertrax 1.25" spacers.

Also ordered Sprint Booster and 2.5"/2" spacer lift from Burtman over the weekend! Should be here mid week! Bigger tires coming soon!
