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

Tires and wheels showed up , finished mounting Rockblokz Mudflaps around new BMC, mounted up the rear Molle panels , then went out the next day and tested it all out.

Completed The Ultimate Cargo Lighting Mod.

It's dark in the back. Especially when camping.

Since I sleep in the back, I find it is nice to have light that's not connected to the ignition so I can just turn it on and off as needed. And I like to be able to use red or white light depending on what I'm doing. So mounted two of these Baja Designs rock lights (each has a push button on/off) and ran power to a fuse block.

Will post whole mod at some point on it's own thread.

I'd be interested in seeing how you wired these lights up.
 
Huskyliner matts...
And
Frontrunner 3/4 roof rack...got it for 550 bucks..it was new, but the guy did not like the wind noise.

Definitely loud, gonna add a wind deflector and see how it is.

Shined her up and adjusted the headlights 5" down. It was much needed after the lift but didn't think about it til I was driving across town last night blinding everyone.

For those wondering; 20 clockwise twists moved them 5 inches down at 26' [emoji106]

Finally began...

Built a bed platform. I went with 2 x 6 and 2x4 height which I haven’t seen others do yet. This gives me enough headroom and also add storage throughout the entire platform. The front storage isn’t good for large items but when you’re sleeping i plan to throw keys, headlamp, etc so important stuff is there for you. The rear under storage has enough a ton of gear. I split it into three sections that are accessible from the back or sides if you’re sleeping. I plan to keep jumper cables tow straps, med kit in one, tents and gear in the other clothes in the third. Well see how this weekend goes.

And since that only took me about two hours I installed the ARB 2000 with Rego fabrication mounts for factory rails.

We are stopped in Moab for a bit while we wait on the snow to melt b4 heading to Colorado. I went out and did a bit of exploring checked out Gemini Bridges, gooney bird rock (didn’t drive over the toes and would advise you not to as well!!) waiting on the rain to stop so I can get back out on some more slick rock. Which is ironically grippy as sandpaper (when dry)IMG_2270.jpg

My aftermarket driver's side footwell fuse box cover fell off again. It was fine for nearly a year after I reshaped its 3D printed mess to hopefully hold better, and it did for a while, but then it fell off while driving today. So what I did in my 4Runner today was pick it up and toss it out from where it might get stuck under a pedal. I also looked at it and saw its crappy sticker peeling. It's a good thing I saved the stock fuse box cover. I'm going to slap that thing back on. I think when I start adding electrical stuff, I'm going to get a better electrical solution than fuse taps.
 
I love driving the Forest Service roads west of Little Rock, Arkansas in my 2017 TRD Off Road 4Runner. Riding a bike on those roads is nice, too. :)

installed today

Bezel kit was easy enough to do.

I got an extra dash piece on eBay to drill into for the spod touchscreen mount, so I can swap back in the original, non-drilled through one, if I end up mounting the touchscreen somewhere else.

Don't have any pics of both of them on yet, will try to get out tomorrow to grab some more!
 
Took my 4runner to the CAT scale to see where I was at after I finished installing my C4 Fab rear bumper. Both tanks full, so 47 gallons of fuel, No fridge, no me, 6080 lb. So I'm right up against the GVWR with me in it, Ok, to be honest, I'm over it with me in it. I'm golden after I use my Aux tank up, that will shave off about 150 lbs.. I also think my Icon 2" rear springs will have to be swapped out with some Dobinsons 600-800 lb springs as I feel a bit saggy in the bum now.
