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

Added this sweet mod to the back seat. My wife is expecting in a couple of months and I'm just getting a test run in with installing this thing so I'm not a total newb when the baby is here. Gives me a few months to cope with the fact that my car will never be clean again lol.


Slightly controversial, but I recommend a protective mat/pad to provide a barrier between the car seat and your seat.

LOL, I just ordered that same mat last night.


It works pretty well.
One thing I also learned. Tighten the seat as much as possible with the LATCH system and then recline your seat by one click. It will make the seat tighter than you can do by pulling the straps.

So, I did a thing.

I got these: Tacoma PRO Grille Accent Decals Stickers, Fits 2016-2020 – IMPORTequipment
I made a "badge" to stick them to and mounted it with zip ties. Not perfect but I like it. The colors are kinda washed out in the pic. They are actually yellow, orange and red. The last pic are stickers that go over the orange side markers on the headlights. I'll put them on and post pics when it gets warmer out there.

Installed LEDs in the fogs yesterday and finished up with the Headlights this morning. Thanks to the forum for assistance! Went with NINEO Leds for top and bottom. It was nice to have all the wires be able to cram in the dust cap.

These for the headlights

NINEO H11 H8 H9 LED Headlight... Amazon.com: NINEO H11 H8 H9 LED Headlight Bulbs | CREE Chips 12000Lm 6500K Extremely Bright All-in-One Conversion Kit | 360 Degree Adjustable Beam Angle: Automotive

And these for the fogs

Why would your lights need a security chip?

Made mounts for my boards on top of my RTT. Held in place by SS pins and a Yakima security strap. The pins are lower in height than the rack on top. Plus the strap is a much bigger PITA than the small padlocks for theft. Slots for two strap though I think one is enough

I had ordered the Nineos but was not happy with the results in our projector lenses. They definitely were brighter in the HB reflector though. Sent them back and have a set of HID’s coming. I had the h9 setup in my 2016 LE but one day I opened one of the dust overs and could definitely smell a burning odor. Might not have had anything to do with the bulb and higher wattage but I know how I am and it would be bugging me every time my lights came on. Not to mention reading “some” folks having harnesses melting. Pulled them and went back to the h11 Phillips Xtreme visions.
 
Did some #socialdistancing today in the SR5 4 #stock - first time flexing and stretchy the suspension. Toyota makes a good system. Even on only 2 opposite wheels it still locked up an drove smooth and solid. I can’t wait to lift and stuff some shoes under her.

Built my 4 tire inflation and deflation system ... Getting ready for my on board air system with ARB Twin Compressor and a Viair 1gallon air tank mounted in the engine bay on a MORE mount.

Congrats! I also added this sweet mod to my 2020:

Doubled up with two seat protectors so my pleather isn’t damaged.

How do you like the uppababy MESA?

This looks interesting. Does it work? Lol

Yup ... As of now it works to deflate all 4 tires at once. And once my ARB Twin Compressor gets installed and mounted it'll work as a inflation.

Cool thing is it equalizes all 4 tires pressures
 
This type of setup has being used by other members here. It is a great way to get equal pressures in all 4 tires. As for me, I routed lines and mounted 2 quick connect ARB couplers to left and right sides on the frame just under front doors and use one hose to inflate one tire at a time. I don't seem to see time saving going around hooking all 4 up vs one at the time. Are there any other benefits of manifolding them in 4-way setup?

Other than time saving and equalizing pressures on all 4 tires. There really isn't .. I still plan to carry another single hose; just incase I blow this one up.and I have a back up air Chuck in the back of the 4runner as well.

And yes I didn't think of the idea. I researched a bunch of other people's setups and modified it to my own.

LOL. All of the advertising slides are hilariously bad. Trying to impress with poorly written engrish.
“MICRO LAMP HEAD BIG LIGHT SHINES”

Didn’t care about the chip. They had good reviews and were inexpensive. Users on here said they were happy with them. I think the English stuff is just due to translation from orig language to English. But idk
