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

[K5to4R]

What was the lead time they gave you when you ordered from RSG?

I didn’t get a personalized message with lead, but at the time of ordering the website was listing 5-6 week lead time. I’m hoping it’s not too far off. Everyone is backed up. I got my SSO lo pro bumper in about 3 months (ordered on black Friday so they had a big wait). Just ordered the high clearance add on last weekend and they are looking at 5-7 weeks out for that now.

I finally finished a new video using footage I shot on my recent desert trips. I hope you'll like it -- I put a lot of effort into this one:

It’s night in the southern California desert. Gradually, the sun rises and reveals a fantastic, otherworldly landscape of incredible beauty. As the morning progresses, the desert comes to life. Colorful birds and insects such as the tarantula hawk wasp flit among the flowers of mesquite, palo verde, and other desert trees.

Updated lead time from RSG

What was the lead time they gave you when you ordered from RSG?

Ordered on 4-20, just got a shipping notification for delivery of 5-22. 4 1/2 weeks is fastttt

 

[RaiderRunner510]

Where did you take it, would you recommend?

I took it to Johnny at Detailership in Dublin Ca.

Check out his Ig @detailership

Ray, it is hard to believe your 4R has only 65K since your trips range all over the country. I take it is not your daily driver?

:wow:

Do you just use it for trips?

My 2015 has 170,000 miles on it, but it is my everyday driver and my exploration vehicle.

It's my daily vehicle, alright. But I don't commute to work, so most days I'm just running a few errands near home. With the exception of my annual Nevada trip, my other trips are almost always very short (and more infrequent than I'd like). Being in San Diego, the mountains and desert are fairly close.

 

[BuckeyeT4R]

Hit 12,000 miles and fixed the wiring on my raptor lights ahead of a long road trip to Texas coming up. Hoping to get my Wildpeaks and SCS Gen 5s installed before I leave.

3D Printed a Hitch cover and picked up some 8’ panels and built a sand box cover.

 

[DarthYota]

So excited! Cinderellas slippers.

I am not the norm. I wanted to keep 20 inch wheels so the driving dynamics didn't change.

After 3 years of searching for new wheels I think I found cinderellas slippers.

Local shop was willing to order the one wheel left in the country and put the tire I want on it to make sure if fit before I order the other 4 which are still on their way from China. If it didn't fit they would just charge me for shipping and return the wheel and tire.

Luckily it fit and they said it would just require some minor trimming of plastic.

So the other 4 got ordered and now I wait 8 weeks.

Ripper238, I like your tires!
Is driver side rubbing at all on full right lock in reverse?

I have the same ones, same size.
I was rubbing at full right lock when reversing.
Just got my alignment (3rd alignment with these tires) and now not rubbing for the first time since I got them.
Glad I did not do any cutting of my bumper.

Here are my previous and current alignment specs.
Hard to believe that the very slight differences in caster and toe made a difference,
but that's the only thing that changed.

now (no rub)

l -.2. r -.3 camber
3.6. 3.0 caster
.06 .07 toe


before (rub)
l -.2. r-.3 camber
3.5. 3.0 caster
.07. .07 toe

Added a always live 12 volt outlet and a double USB port to the cargo area. Don't have to have the key in the ignition for it to work and the outlet can handle 10 amps.

I have not had any rubbing. Do you mean steering wheel turned fully to the right while backing up?

The tires are the stock 265/70/17 in a C load at 38psi so they really should not rub. Though if i had higher mileage on my suspencion and lower PSI maybe?

 

[honda250xtitan]

welded the marlin crawler gussets up. Cam tabs look a bit less flimsy. they were all bent from Baja trip. Also took it in for an alignment, shop said it was F'd lol.

 

[jawkdna]

Had these headliner decorations made and they finally showed up...

 

[lewdog998]

Put a single row 40 inch light bar on my frontrunner rack....frontrunner was back ordered on light mount hardware so cobbled it together with some tabs made from angle iron and ironically some scavenged brackets from a led retrofit kit.

 

[SlvrRnnR]

Had some time yesterday between "working from home" to get my voltmeter and on/off switch (black one) in and prep the wiring for today. My OCD would of liked the meter over a tad but it fit perfect here without cutting any brackets behind the panel. OEM battery going on 3 years and just want to start monitoring...
