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

Finally started blacking out the limited. Powder coated the roof rails and got some black end caps and OEM crossbars off Craigslist.

Installed N-fab nerf bars, Cornfed front spacers and NAPA Adaptive One front pads, hopefully tomorrow I'll get around to installing an Icom dual band radio and Plasti dipping the valences.
 
Yeah, it's a TPMS "pipe bomb" :surfer:

You put all the sensors in and seal it up, then inflate it to the proper pressure. That way you don't have to worry about moving the sensors around to different sets of wheels when you change. I just switched to steel wheels and the regulars sensors aren't compatible, so I just put this together for $10 instead of buying all new sensors.

OK. Thanks for confirming! As soon as the weather warms up, I'll run to Harbor Freight for a heat gun and tackle this job. Same with the blacked out emblems. Going for the TRD Pro look on the cheap. ;)

Lastly (and mostly maybe) will be the TRD Pro wheels and maybe tires.


I went the expensive way and bought mine with the whole 9 already there. I didn’t want to mess with upgrading all of that except those ugly silver valances I changed out with the Pro black ones.
Runnin 4 Tacos has the blacked (or smoked) side mirror blinkers. They look great if you’re going for a complete murdered out look.

Turns out that I may need to go that route. We just got our license plates and I put those on yesterday. I was curious to see what it looked like under the license plate mounting bracket and it turns out the dealer really messed up putting a screw into the hole. Oh well. I was hoping to get away without using my front license plate, but that nasty gash looks awful. So, once I wrap the valance, I may put the license plate back on. We'll see. Or, Plan B-Buy a new black valance and go that route.

Also programmed the HomeLink button.

Now, what do I do with the old transmitter? Keep one in the car anyways as backup or ??? What say you?
 
Just stared at it from my balcony wondering why a company hasn’t made a dash kit for the 2020+ 4Runner. Wondering why we just can’t seem to get the same respect Jeep gets.

Did the RAV4 mirror swap. So simple with much better visibility.

Also got my RCI A arm skids in, but I think I'm going to wait until the rest of the skidplates come in to put them on.

I got a Krazy Beaver shovel yesterday, and I took my RC Enduro Trailrunner in the back of my 4Runner this morning. I'm still waiting for Rago molle panel mounts for the shovel. I'm afraid they're not going to come out far enough to fit the shovel, though. I really should have taken a tape measure to the back of my 4Runner :der: Well, maybe I'll just have to get the big Rago shelf.
 
swapped the rear wheelers springs for toytec 2.0 HD's. final prep for baja trip is done. the HD's definitely ride firmer (and thats with the sleeping platform/storage in the back, 33" spare, and an empty Pelican ice chest) I"ll throw the Wheelers back in after the trip. the plan is to run them as we'll be going with probably 300lbs of extra tools, parts, and gear. 800 miles in baja off-road over the course of week
