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

Today I got a sign of relief when I picked up my 4 runner from dealer after driving home with 2 miles with bad steering wheel shake. All tires were out of balance and drives like new like it should now!

It just goes to show you that a lot of dealers do nothing to prepare a sold vehicle for delivery other than wash it and vacuum the interior.

So many people complain about a harsh ride home then noticing their tires were inflated to 45+ PSI, the transportation inflation.
 
After 3 months of Backorder, my crack dealer..er..tire dealer finally was able to piece me together a set of 4 yoko's....

34's on a 2F/2R lift.....

Recently completed a 1K mile road trip bringing my new-to-me 14 TP from Portland OR to its new home in SoCal. Lots of excitement going over the mountain passes in southern OR, but it tracked beautifully and ran like a champ.

What did I do? Bought it. 2018 TRD Off Road in Magnetic Gray. Sold my fully kitted overland 2017 JKU. Tired of the nickel and dime issues. Injectors, head units, O2 sensors, failed spark plug, oil cooler housing, spider gears rear dif, rear axle seals, wiper motor. All between 60-77k miles. #NeverJeepAgain
 
Fairly new 2022 Nautical Blue,
Swapped out OEM inside lights with LEDs.
Big difference.
Had a couple extra, so will use for spares.


Figured I'd wire in my dashcam to the over head console. Loosened the screw on the left, screw dropped down and landed on the top of the steering wheel cover. Oops, go to remove it, slid down the left side and managed to get stuck under the dash. Futzed around a bit trying to dislodge it. Got a big-ass magnet, tried to retrieve it that way. Somewhere in the process, I lost track of where it was. got to looking around, used my phone camera for assistance. Looked, hmm, if You could remove this small panel here, I may be able to retrieve it. What's the wording? "knee air bag".. ruh-roh..
Now to figure out what size screw that is and get a new one.

Rattle City

My latest “mods” have been acting like a maniac trying to track down rattles. For weeks had a metallic sounding rattle that I was certain was coming from the inside of the cargo area, only to find that it was my license plate rattling on the outside of the tailgate. Fun stuff!
