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

[DallasTRDPro]

I hope things pull through for you. You can always sell your home and keep the truck... priorities you know?



If it's appropriate why not give your biz a little plug here? Nobody's judging. Perhaps some locals can funnel some revenue your way.

Thanks for the well wishes. I don't live in a house. I have commitment issues so I figured a wife and house are way harder to get rid of when you want something shiny than a new vehicle. My business is just a soccer coach and trainer. Nothing special, but youth sports has taken a pretty big hit and the facility we used took a bigger hit than us. Everything will work out. It might be a little bit painful for a little while, but it will rebound.

Here is something I wanted to share. I found this on amazon a year ago and it is a really handy flashlight/camp light. It has magnets and can be mounted to any metal surface. I used it as a flashlight and camp cooking light and tire changing light.

That’s a great idea I use something very similar myself when camping. Not a fan of having anything drawing from the starter battery. Trucks are heavy enough without a dedicated dual battery setup. Everything I use in camp has its own battery. Might do a goal zero at some point if my camping intervals pick up.

I vinyl wrapped my roof rails. Of course I haven't taken a pic yet.

Went for a scenic drive on the Alpine Loop from American Fork Canyon to Provo Canyon, then went kayaking down the river and on the reservoir. Beautiful day here in Utah!

Is that two sets of JayLow's holding the kayaks?

Yeah me too. I like to travel light and then camp light. A goal zero and a fridge might be my next major purchases. I also like my lights to be portable and rechargeable.

It's actually just 2 pairs of universal kayak racks that I bought on eBay. I've been using them for 2 years now, and although they don't have the ability to fold down or any other cool adjustabilities like the JayLow or other name brand kayak mounts, I've been really happy with them. You cannot beat the price.

Did you take the route from Big Pine? I've only taken the easy road from Bishop, I hear the southern road is a bit tougher.

Can your 4Runner do this?:frisky:

I featured these two photos on my old website, submitted by a fellow on another now dead forum. The worst section is about 1,800 feet long.

Instead of hijacking this thread, I created another topic here:

There are a few other photos from my old website there as well.

Decided to plastidip all of the chrome trim. Going to touch up the front end a little. What do you guys think?

Did you Plasti dip the handles too?

How hard was it? I have some excess vinyl and was thinking if attempting it. Did u remove the rail or do on the roof.

I wrapped mine, too. I guess it could be done on the truck, but I removed mine to wrap them.

888UKA02, Nice setup. Did you get Rock sliders (bolted to frame) or those are nerf boards (bolted to body)?

Nice. I just need a translator app now to read your write up.

 

[888UKA02]

Thanks. They bolted to frame.

Yes I did. I would recommend you make sure to thoroughly apply several coats on the inner portion of the handles

TRD Pro Wheels

I finally had to cancel my order for a set of RRW forged wheels. I ordered a set of forged wheels in mid January but because of COVID-19 the wheels I was informed probably would not be available for another 4 months. RRW was awesome to deal with and promptly refunded my money.
So Tuesday I ordered a set of the Pro wheels from a GA dealership which arrived today. $162 a wheel with free shipping. I am not naming the dealership because the first dealership I called would not sell me the wheels because I did not have a Pro VIN. They told me this was Toyota’s corporate policy.
Weight just a hair over 25 pounds.

Slept on it.
