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

2020 got the 14-19 Chinese TRD pro grille, quick work with a dremel and removed the rad bracket entirely. Best $114 I’ve ever spent.

Sure beats the $600+ price point from the dealer for a minuscule cosmetic piece.

First off-road adventure in my 2020 4runner! Hit the ground a couple times going over some waterbars, haven't looked under the car yet... hopefully absolutely zero damage :)

That looks really good! Care to share which site you purchased it from?
 
Yesterday I drove the usual (US-23) route back from the Smokies. I never like going back to the life in suburbia after a week at the mountain lake, but my fishing days were becoming diminishing returns.

Today I finally got around to putting on the new plates. Starting tomorrow, Ohio will no longer require a registration plate on the front. I didn't want the gaping hole of where I didn't put the winch & fairlead. There's very little in the way of license plates to match this theme, so I had BuildASign.com print me up something to hang on the front.
I gave up on the rusty old license plate bolts and put in some stainless ones. I then hit them with a couple spritzes of clear matte rattle-can as an added layer of protection against Ohio winters. I put together something on Zazzle for the hitch cover, and found an Atreides crest sticker that I liked for some more clues to the uninitiated.

Since I was on a shopping spree, I also ordered a Tugboat. I still need to figure out how to fit it, and of course the tank and air to run it. But I'm going to have fun with this.
:horn: :hurt:

You are a Friggin Dune Fanatic. :hatsoff:
 
finally got the ladder on, drilling holes in the car is scary stuff

does anyone else with the victory ladder have the right side rail a bit uncomfortably close to the bottom of the hatch?

Installed a full length Greenlane Rack, and prepped the trailer for 3 weeks of adventures. Mclean Creek, Livingstone, and Nordegg here I come.

I replaced my mirrors today with the Rav4 mirrors. Just to refresh everyone's memory, here are the part numbers I used: 87961-42D20 & 87931-42D50.

I also installed the TRD PRO grille. I would post a picture but I can't figure out how to do it from my phone, possibly I don't have enough posts yet. I went with the OEM parts because I'd rather trust them over some Chinese cheapo manufacturer.
