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

Spent all day doing clay bar, paint correction, and three coats of Avalon King ceramic coating. Removed nearly all of the Swirls and scratches and hopefully this coating will protect from new ones!

This makes me jealous of people that can wash and wax in the winter. It basically rains here from October to April :pout:

If I wash mine while in town, it's dirty by the time I get home.
If I wash it at home, it's dirty before I'm done. We have no pavement. All dirt. Washing the car makes a mud puddle.

Don't have that problem here!

I've got Texas plates but actually live in Vegas. One HUGE benefit of living here is how easy it is to keep a clean vehicle [emoji41] I grew up in Northern MN so I certainly know the struggle!
 
Took it out for a drive in the once a year “snow”

Took it into Toyota to replace the needle bearing...$895 later. I used the East Coast Gear Supply delete kit. All fixed up though.

Nicely done and lucky for you to live in desert. I can't get to any of that until March or even April since it is 4'F here in KC and salty roads everywhere. I wish I didn't have to drive in the winter :)
 
Sunny day in Washington, got it cleaned up. It's suppose to rain again tomorrow, lol, so just enjoying the cleanliness while I can. Tint the front side windows tomorrow and then Canvasback liners should be here on Tuesday.

What are the Goose Gear plates made of? And how are they attached?

I made a plate that covers everything in the back, and I can't decide how to fasten it down? Rivnuts through the steel floor. It adds a hole but then again it gets plug with a bolt, also the two OEM tie downs have threaded hole straight through so it would be the same. Or I could grind a little off the floor coating and tack weld brackets. Or maybe just use rivets. I just don't know.

Finally got around to installing the LEDs gifted me by Auxito Lights. Shipping was quick, install was about as easy as they come, took me maybe 5 minutes!

Two things that I hated that came stock on the 2020 ORP, the speakers (upgraded to a full OEM Audio Plus, HUGE improvement, well worth the money) and the headlights.

Below are the comparison pics, remarkable improvement for a low price. Sure, I’d love to toss in $1400 Morimoto’s and maybe someday I will, but for now, these were a vast improvement over the stock bulbs and a fraction of the cost.

Stock headlights before

Little Moab in Utah, not to be confused with real deal Moab, which is infinitely better….

This was my first trip using the Wifey Air system as well, which I ABSOLUTELY love!

factory floor has threaded holes covered by the carpet i believe. Goosegear should have install instructions somewhere.
