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

Lengthy repair (venting)

I wish I had my 4runner, so I could post some pictures. Had hail damage over two months ago. The repair shop is still waiting on parts (new roof) from Toyota. Anyone else seeing lengthy repair times, or lengthy times to get parts?
 
Ordered new wheels. Having them installed on the Wranglers. The factory rims will go back on the factory M/S. We'll use the M/S for long (on)road-trips and the all terrain for locally.

Installed LEDs for low beams - I do understand HIDs give better output but needed a quick resolve from halogens for now.

I have morimoto fogs that will be install sometime this week also.
 
Did a spark plug change today as service records don't show when they were last done (I bought used). Swapped to Autolite XP Iridium, I guess we'll see how those perform. Old plugs had some life left and looked normal in my opinion.
Fired right up and ran well when I test drove it after.

Drivers rear plug was a big of a tight squeeze but still an easy job overall.

I installed a set of Baja Designs LP-9 Pro’s behind the grille on a set of modified
Rago Fab light mounts and finished it up with the Toyota Heritage grille.

Here’s the modification part I speak of , these lights are heavy and without adding the midpoint mounts to the Rago Fab mount there would have been too much movement In the LP-9’s

They look good tucked away , and almost not noticeable.

The LP-9 Pro Racer editions have 3 modes

This is the low setting

This is the High setting

And this is the running light function if you want them on super low with your DRL’s they look great IMO with the Morimoto XB Amber drl’s

nice work. i'm running their brackets and made my own outside the grille mounts as theirs are way too short. I wish their behind the grille brackets wouldnt wiggle so much with just 3 XL pro's on it.:spider:
 
I'm going to miss my 4R, but the market made it to tempting to sell it. I got $55K and traded for an Outback Wilderness. Makes my 4R feel like a dump truck. Lowered payment by $250/month. Check classifieds if you want anything.

I see you've got a 1up on the swingout of what appears to be a CBI bumper. How do you like this setup? Do you have any close-up pictures of how they attach?
I've got a single swingout but am looking to weld on a hitch receiver. Having to take bikes off just to get into the trunk is driving me crazy, plus I'd like the better departure angle.
 
ShrockWorks sliders

Now if only the body shop would finish with the hail damage repair, I could get these installed.

Just a picnic at a Colorado reservoir to test out my new Roadhouse Tarp by Slumberjack. Pretty slick kit once I figured it out. Comes with over-sized stakes and is made of quality materials that dealt well with the wind. Over all pretty pleased.

Saw a video on this thing comparing to a 4runner the other day and was actually suprised with some of the climbs it was able to eventually work it's way up. Seems like a pretty good comprimise, especially if you put a little chunkier tire on it. RTT capable rack, lots of space, lifted a bit. Not bad, Subaru.
 
Rising prices

Just bought my 2020 this past March. Did a search today, and same year, and model, with 13k miles on it (mine has 6K), is going for 10K over what I paid. Crazy

At the risk of cluttering up a 4Runner forum, bike details please...

***EDIT - Just found the info, pretty cool stuff.
