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

Relocated my TRD Off Road emblem as I needed to take them off to install GOAT armor.

Couple updates. First is removing the "Super Bright blah blah LED 921 reverse bulbs" that are covered in random LED emitters. Replaced them with Gy6.35 halogen bulbs as described in this thread here:
Gy6.35 HIR 921 reverse light upgrade (vs high power LEDs) | Tacoma World

I'm finding out more and more that mashing LED blister packs into halogen housings is not the best idea. Halogen upgrade on the left, LED garbage on the right, the results speak for themselves:

Next up is a pet barrier upgrade. The Raingler nets work great if you have laid back dogs, but one of ours is so persistent that she finds a way to wiggle around it every time. I bought the Bullet Proof Fabrication pet barrier (still on sale?) and it works phenomenally. It is also easy to add gear to. I attached a soft first aid kit in the dead space next to the headrest (front of the panel).

I’d like to try that Gy6.35 bulb.
Where did you find them for sale?
Thx
 
Nice barrier but holy heck! Went to their site. With shipping $380!
It is on sale for $285 plus shipping right now. I have a big dog but she never tries to go over the seats. I bought it for safety and capacity. Quality is great, only 4 knobs to remove once installed, aluminum, I can leave it installed and fold a seat down if needed, rattle free and bigger openings so seeing through it is not an issue.

I also bought their side panels but they have yet to show up.

Also, when you consider that it's about the same size as two quarter window panels, the price makes a little more sense (at least for low number production, USA made parts). The brackets and panels have excellent bend geometry, and the powdercoat is good quality. The upper brackets work extremely well to make the panel as upright as possible, giving my dogs more room over the Raingler net (which leans backward due to the upper attachments directly at the coat hook hangers).

Some of the laser-cut edges on mine seem a little sharp though, would have preferred all edges broken. But overall an excellent product.

Yep on Amazon. Or you can order direct from Bulb America, sometimes they have sale coupons. Pro tip: I had the best fitment results by twisting the mounting tabs instead of zig-zagging them (think of a double helix, DNA shape). Wear gloves and be very careful, they are easy to break if you are not paying attention! I ordered extra because I broke one.
 
Snagged one of these rotopax strap tire mounts for a steal. Gonna come in handy for the summer expeditions.

Hit the only open trail I could find. Ended up being a gem.

Christmas lights. The best dash lights. 4x, low TPMS, traction control and fcw off.

Used it to go get a starter for my 1948 Willys with a transplanted 4 cyl. from a 1977 Pontiac with a Chevy bell housing and flywheel. It was hard to track down one that would fit but finally success!

First 4runner. First post. I put new wheels, “hand me down” tires, and powder coated the rails. Looking forward to what comes next!

Used ginger to go get quarantine provisions. 1/2 keg of miller lite and 1/2 keg of Guinness. Already have a 1/4 of pear cider on tap.

Had to replace my window mounted swamp cooler. Went to a local ranch supply store and bought one.

The bottom photo shows the employee on a forklift bringing down a pallet of them.

The cooler fit in the back end with no problem, second row seats raised. Just had to remove the privacy cover.
 
Installed Baja Squadron Pro ditch lights

Installed Rago Fabrication ditch light brackets, used the including wiring harnesses. So far, can't get 'em to light up yet, but the adventure continues!
