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

Gloomy day due to smoke from fire in California making its way to Arizona...

Nice weather for a change so I decided to wash her. SCS BR6 going on next week.

Got my weather techs yesterday and thought I’d quickly install them this morning. Following the instructions, carefully and slowly raised the Front passenger side window. Watched in amazement as a piece of plastic flew off the end. Took it off, and noted the flange was chipped off. Called Weather Tech, and they are sending a replacement. Went to install the rear deflector, and noted a piece of the flange was chipped off. The kit must’ve been returned. Weather Tech is sending a replacement. They also told me to only have the front windows lowered about one inch when I install, not half way down as stated in their instructions.

A lot of people have this issue. Most of mine are chipped from installation.
 
Got these bad boys in today, new f(x) Pros. Well, 4 of the 5 anyway... the other one seems to be lagging behind by a day.

Now, I need to settle on a brand of 255/80s for them, then I can put my stock Pros on the wife's 19 Taco TRD OR.

Are those the gun metal gray 17" x 7" wheels? If so, which finish gloss or matte?

No, they're FN Wheels f(x) Pros, 17x8in 0 offset, in matte black. The lighting in the pictures is kind of harsh, comes from having a non professional photographer (me). [emoji6][emoji38]

I made covers for the back of my seats out of rubber garage mats and Velcro. I keep my seats folded down during hunting season, and my dog tracks mud all over the place. I couldn’t find any manufactured rubber seat back covers, so decided to just make my own.

I've got the lift and 285 tire upgrade itch bad. Spent most of the day looking through things and making a list.

Since I have the TRD Pro 7" wheels, I also need new wheels and this list is getting stupid expensive, lol.
 
I added some lights for my 3rd row passengers. They are connected to the door switch as well and do turn off if ever left turned on after some time.

Looks great!

I washed, clay-barred, and wax mine today and it's a lot of work! I did it over 2 full days. I had a lot of remains of bugs that had been left for a few weeks on the front of the truck and that took a bit of time to clean. I also made a mental note to clean the bugs off on a more frequent time-frame as they're easier to clean off when they're fresh. Truck looks great now that it's clean! We have snowy winters here in Canada where roads will get salted, etc, so the wash/clay/wax is one of my routine steps I perform to prepare for the upcoming winter season.

I just did the same in preparation for winter as well two weeks ago. I added Sonax Polymer net shield which makes it much easier to clean between details.

Yea, damn bugs. I use turtle wax seal n shine followed up by their ice spray wax. They do an awesome job of protecting the paint and giving it mad gloss. Seal n shine is one of the beast sealants there is (watch some YouTube’s videos on it).

You interested in selling those TRD Pro wheels?

Once I actually pull the trigger, yep. I'll probably bundle the 265 ridge graps with them since they only have ~6k miles, which means it'll probably need to be someone local. Shipping costs would probably be ridiculous.

Looks like they match trim/headliner color. Mind telling which lights you bought?
 
I installed my Rough Country light bar behind the grill but did not tackle the wiring yet. I will deal with that when I have more time. The directions state to do away with the plastic shields that direct air to the radiator. Not sure I like that idea but we will see how it runs without them. I saved them in case I need to modify them and reinstall later.

Keep them.
you can run 285s on the TRD Pro wheels just fine...

I wouldn't do this if I were you. There are a lot of kits with much better quality and optics that won't require you to chop up your truck. Radiator shrouding is important.
