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

ordered some canvas back protectors for my front seat back kick plate area and centre console. FYI they have a 10% discount code for 4th of July. check out their facebook page they have the codes listed there

Going on a road/camping trip here in a bit under 2 weeks so a round of maintenance.
Oil change and swapped the plastic filter housing for the aluminum model
Tire rotation
Fluid check/fill
Drive shaft re-grease
Brake check and clean/paint calipers
Spot check rust converter
Cabin filter replacement with the activate carbon version
Then general just a check on core components
 
I installed a remote start, accessorides.
I installed Spidertraxx spacers. Looks so much better. Little rubbing on inner fender. Fixed that too.
Also, put a temp fix on the Limited bumper. It had the TSB velcro band aid fix. Didnt work. So, I pulled a clip that holds chrome metal bumper and put a zip tie through it, and brought the zip tie to a metal bracket near the washer fluid bottle. Pulled bumper in, no more gap. I think the fender portion that attached to the bumper bracket is bent in, when previous owner broke headlight. Until I can properly get it pulled out, I will leave well enough alone.
Next in line, brakes and Eibach or Bilstein shocks to replace leaky front.
 
After owning this new since 22-Dec 2018 I was playing around in back after hauling boat trailer tires to R&R from rims. I notice D/S rear Pax seat back was further back then Center/R/H side. Get manual & SOB there's an adjustment to recline in couple different angles!!:frusty: Being I bet since new there may have been pax back there max 5 times & I'm %90 alone.
 
if you running 34's or bigger and you actually wheel your truck, you might have to extend your front bumps unless you want your tires to self clear your front fenders...:reddance:

I have to extend my extended bumpstops due to the TC LCA's...:frisky:

TC front bump stop extension + energy suspension bumpstops.

ah, limiting suspension travel classic toyota move...make room for tires, dont limit travel ya gooooon.


the kdss brackets are for the sway bar bushings to be back in the neutral position. its not meant for guys running the sway bar spacers though. thats the "either/or"

I don't need no uptravel to impress the poonana's at the mall :lookout:

The DR. kdss stuff is starting to confuse me..is the bracket + clamps better than the spacers? If so, why still sell the spacers? His instagram is a bit vague on that.

I thought about upgrading from the spacers, but i cant figure if the juice is worth the squeeze. ..although the sway bar is starting to get polished under the OEM bushing/clamp currently with just the spacers.

i've been discussing the new adaptor bracket with him for years, i think he was just trying to fine tune it/not interfere with the steering.

the spacers were a quick fix and meant for guys running alot of lift. (my words, not his)

the bracket will change the leverage on the sway bar, making it a bit less stiff (measurable, idk if its observable lol)

mine are polished too lol. im on those yellow siberian bushings as well now. I dont need the billet clamps but i figured why not lol.
 
Washed it after four plus months. My typical interval. The ceramic coating has been great over almost four years. Now to go back out again. Eastern Sierras next.

Over the weekend I removed my entire XREAS suspension (hydraulic lines and all) and installed a take-off suspension from a 2021, UCA's included. Getting it aligned on Thursday. I also added Cornfed front spacers (1/2") to level it out.

Arthritis has gotten so bad. Cant get on the ground at all. Well, I can but I wont be getting up anytime soon. My regular mechanic moved his shop about 1.5 hours away. Found a new mobile guy for easy stuff. Cheaper than my long time mechanic.

Mounted NFab step rails and TRD Pro skid. Took 35 mins all together. Easy Peasy.

New VTX wheels up next. Staying with the mediocre 265 Pathfinder A/T's that were mounted when I bought it. Only have 3k miles on them. Went with these but with black ring bolts:
