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

Decided to install a rear bumper by myself because it was raining and I was bored.........which is probably the dumbest thing you can do when its raining, by yourself, and bored...

SHROCKWorks FTW!!!

Bilstein & RSG

Finally installed Bilstein 5100s all around. Gave me 2.5 up front but only .5 in the rear so I also installed the B12 rear springs to get up to 1.5 in the rear. Also added the KDSS spacer kit from Treaty Oak Offroad.
Then I lucked out that someone put up a brand new set of the RSG sliders on Craigslist. Feelin' pretty good about it all right now!

Took the family out to play in the fresh snow last weekend. Got stuck, spent a couple hours winching and digging. Fun was had by all.

Did the Subaru tweeter replacement based off of this: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/3575839-post33.html

Before:

Sound is noticeably better, but we'll see when I give it a thorough test on a drive later.

Protip: If you do this, I'd STRONGLY recommend taking the entire bracket out with the phillips head bolts instead of trying to take the speakers out of the bracket while in the truck. Otherwise you will probably break something because those bolts are ludicrously over-tightened. I nearly hurt myself trying to get them out of the bracket outside of the truck because of how tight they were.

Went to Ulta with the wife.

While turning into the lot a bearded bro was coming out of the store and was checking out my t4r and came up to my window. I rolled it down and he asked if I knew they made a hotwheels of my car.
I told him yea and ive been hitting stores non stop trying to find one.

Made my day.
 
Finally got to setup my seat jackers and MMP. Took about two weeks to get them and then another week to get the magnets that I realized would be necessary. Mounted my Kershaw knife and a Gerber multi tool. I also have a cheap Chinese flashlight that has a regular beam, three modes of white light., yellow and then red/blue flashing. I’ve used that thing so many times and it has magnets so it will stick to metal for situations like fixing something outside the vehicle. I think I will mount an Element 50 fire extinguisher on the back side or a road flare maybe. If i decide to buy a gun i might mount one on the panel, but I’ve avoided guns because i feel my personality and temper might escalate things. So I’ve avoided them.

BTW, the seat jackers make the seats so much more comfortable around town even. Haven’t taken a long road trip other than 40 miles to my parents. Definitely make a noticeable difference.

Yes, I used the highest notch and confirmed a 2.5" increase. As expected I would occasionally see "the lean" which is why I decided to install those spacers from Treaty Oak. I might've been able to get away with only buying one for the front but didn't want to risk it with the back since there is so little room for lifting the back. Buy once, cry once.
 
Picked up my 2022 TRD Off road, so far in love especially after my first winter storm ride.

Only changes have been the rubber and Toyota rock rail which im really not impressed with, I find they dont stick out enough unless theres a extention.

Most likely going to change rims, fogs, skid come spring. Wish I would have done some more homework and saw greenlaneoffroad before making the rock rails purchase with Toyota lol
