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

In some thread someone had the idea those vertical plastic pieces in front of the rear tires are for aerodynamics. To squeeze out another 0.01 MPG. Kind of like those flaps you see on the trailers of some 18 wheelers.

more then likely theyre to protect the rocker panels from rock chips.


the trailer stuff is legit aerodynamics..
 
Got my 275/70/17 AT3’s installed. This is my 3rd vehicle that I have had them installed on and they are a fantastic tire IMO. Ordered a 1” Cornfed spacer which will level it out nicely.

Got my HikeIt throttle controller. Forgot how much it really wakes up the 4R. And for $118 on sale it’s a no brainer over the others. I think this is where I will put it.

How do you like it? Did you have other brands before? If so how does it compare?

I have no idea how it compares, but I know it doesn't the same thing they all do for a fraction of the price. No way would I pay $279 for a PC or whatever the SB costs.
 
Took a solo overnight trip to a remote lake for some down time but made a bad line choice and ended up breaking through the ice of a mud hole and getting stuck. Lucky for me, an awesome group of people were just headed out. They pulled me back out, so I could continue on my trip.


It was really worth it in the end. Had a great night and no damage that can't be fixed with some heat, a rubber mallet and an alignment.

A little more winter prep over the weekend.

Put down a WeatherTech Trim to Fit cargo mat over the back of the rear seats.

I do have the Canvas back covers there (split version and love them) just wanted something a bit grippy, pliable and solid one piece, easy in and out.

Not a bad fit, could of trimmed even a bit more precisely but this will do and serves its purpose (keep things from sliding, extra protection).

The seats have that slight slant back and I did cut out part of "the wall" for the tie downs so not for holding any good amount of water/snow (I use the rear cargo mat or floor mats for that).

PINS (Padre Island National Seashore)

Just got back today. Took this pic this past Thursday, before we hit the beach.

After weeks of scouting the website, finally scored a set of these.

Got some MESO door handle covers from another forum member for $35. Don’t think I would pay $50, but for $35 it was a way to get rid of some blinding chrome. Just wish MESO and others could still produce the black steering wheel emblems. Stupid Toyota and their perceived safety issues. Or maybe it’s just because they can’t profit from it.

How's the fitment and the install? I haven't put mine on because others had said that there were fitment issues
 
Nice score! They are hard to get. I’ve still got some other stuff to work on first… and then budget for them.

Yes they are. Tried to get a set before and by 6:07 PST, they were sold out. So I made sure to be on the order page at 5:59 PST, by 6:02 my order was complete. The screenshot is a receipt email at 6:05 PST, mind you im in Hawaii so we're 2 hours behind.
