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

Installed running boards. I like it.

I like how it looks. Not a heavy duty protection but this rig is likely to see mostly a lot of forest service roads and paved road.

Got mine on this past Monday and love it! Congrats!

Have you heard the Borla S-Type?
I have the S-Type and I want to tone it down a bit.
I was wondering how loud the TRD exhaust is in comparison.

Only complaint about the S-Type is when I'm stuck in fourth and the drone gets annoying.

Forgot to add the product name in case someone is looking at these.
 
Finally had time to install my steering wheel cover due to my peeling OEM wheel... took about 4 hours, and is nowhere near perfect, but it beats the stock peeling steering wheel.

Sorry about the pictures... not sure how to turn them right side up

Did the second oil change and lubed the 'shafts. All bolts came out with no problem as well as the filter housing. I guess that's because I did the last one and will never allow a dealer anywhere near this vehicle unless it's warranty work. Also installed Prothane Sway bar bushings that my son gave me for my birthday. Thanks Chris (2016 4Runner SR5). I haven't driven it yet to see if they make any difference. I'll let ya know.

I had the same issue after a little over a year of owning the truck and made Toyota swap it for a new one!

I also had to have them swap my drivers side door panel as the arm rest started squeaking every time I would put my elbow on it! I hate squeaks!!!

Brought my family and the NotaTRDrnr to Bryce Canyon Nat’l Park for a couple nights of camping. Feels great to get out of CA, even if for just a few days. Nice change of pace, air quality and from the 105-110 degree southern CA weather!

Do you have the Prothane part # for the bushings you used? Looking at replacing mine.
 
Work continues today on several fronts. I got the switch pros fully installed. I used the SDHQ keypad mount so I wouldn't have to cut it myself since all I have to do that with is a Dremel which isn't very precise. I also ran the Off Grid Engineering aux power outlet to the passenger tail light panel. I figured out a working method to get cables through the factory firewall grommets by sandwiching whatever connector between my trim tools, taping it all together, and shoving it through. I had to just cut a small slit in the passenger side grommet because it was heavily taped to some factory cables. I also did most of the Anytime Backup Camera install, which was an absolute pain. I would probably not do it again. The instructions are difficult and when you're done you're left with a huge bird's nest of cables. I did not install the camera in the front yet because I think the location I wanted to install it would be blocked by the SSO hybrid bumper I eventually want to install.

Installed tilt fridge slide for a ICECO JP40 (shipping delayed :/). Half the cost of other tilt slides I could find on the market. Just need a limit strip and we good!

How much?

The ICECO slide designed for their JP40/JP50 models (which I am sure would fit other 12V coolers/freezers of similar size was only $175 with discount and free shipping.

Already had 3/4" ply in garage, and carpet. Three gate hinges and a few wood screws for $15.

So like $200. Most tilt/slides I've looked at online are between 350-500 pre-tax. They may be lighter with full-aluminum or steel designs, but I'd rather save money and put it elsewhere...

did you buy your battery cables that are sleeved premade or did you make them?
