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

Thanks again! I really like that approach! What I did today.... Ordered the parts listed above.
Well, I had to go with a substitute for the ebay listing, because that offer had ended. But the part number steered me in the right direction. That's why I love this forum!
One of the reasons I went with the Victory Bumper, and "adventure carrier" for the spare tire was because it is easy to remove the carrier, and then tuck the spare back underneath. We could use that configuration if it was more important to simply have ease of access to the back hatch for a while. Don't know that we will, but we could.
But with the whole camera relocation, this becomes a huge chore. If the original wiring harness was still available, that huge chore just becomes simply a chore...

Awesome. I got basically the same setup except with the TRD Pro Bilstein version of the 6112 upfront with ToyTec 1inch perch + Eibach 1inch rear springs for a 2inch front lift, and a little over an inch in the rear. Very happy with it. A big improvement on ride compared to 5100s all around on stock coils and front at .85
Just in case you're interested in seeing what it may look like with 2inch front + EiBach 1inch rear springs on stock 265/70/17s. Posted a before and after picture comparing the 5100s and now in the lift pictures thread. Just install this past weekend, so rear may settle just a little bit

new tires
Was supposed to have some Toyo AT3s installed on Tuesday. When they still hadn't made it to my local DT yesterday, i decided to go with the Falkens instead. Of course the Toyos showed up at the shop right before the install started this morning- which was great, as I could compare the two side-by-side. I'm sure the Toyo's a great tire, but the Falkens are noticeably bigger and (i think) better looking. Anyway- stuck with the stock size which works pretty well with my modest lift.

I'm so sorry.
I was planning on going 1.7f/1r to have an oem like rake. A little less is fine but I don't want an even height and I definitely don't want a reverse rake.

I just got back to NY from NC after bringing my Willys to my son. 12 hours with only gas a pee stops. I'm pretty beat but the 4Runner did great. I already posted about towing it down there but I don't think I mentioned that I got around 12MPG never going above 60 MPH OK maybe 65 once in a while.
Coming home doing 65 to 75 where kinda legal and a few stints cruising at 80 for a while I got 20.3. Not bad considering I was not driving to get the best mileage. I hate NY but I'm glad to be home. I really need to move to NC myself.

Made it out to Uwharrie with my son (he is almost 3) to hit some trails. He wasn’t a big fan, he was moving around a bit and I think needs a little more time before he joins me again.
Still had fun running Wolfs Den both directions. Finally got the truck baptized in the Uwharrie mud/clay!

Alpharex Luxx Headlight Install
Installed the Alpharex Luxx Headlights. They're pretty slick. Pretty happy with them so far. It's going to take some getting used to for sure, with the difference in the color of the light output from OEM halogen bulbs. I'll admit that even though the LED strip isn't too functional, it's kinda cool and looks good in my opinion. My kid loves the "sequence" it runs through when you lock and unlock the vehicle. Pics are kinda crappy quality, but you get the gist.

Stunning! We stayed in Ouray a couple weeks ago and were so in awe of the San Juan Mountains. Did the Alpine Loop and now my goal is to go back and eventually do all the others (Ophir, Imogene, Black Bear etc)

Yeah I'm extremely happy with the output and pattern of my Luxx's. My only complaint is that the DRL strip is still too dim during the day despite wiring it to the INJ fuse. You can't even really tell they're on from a distance during the day.
