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

Added some throw back color stripes. What can I say, I just turned 50!

Ordered a 2023 TRD Off Road for my wife. The 2014 SR5 becomes mine for use in Montana.

I like your wheels. What type and size? Do you have a side profile pic? Thinking about some KMC 446 machined ones.

Good stuff. We did the same last year - '22 and I kept the 2013. Have fun with it!

Thanks. They are Method Mesh in the machined finish. They haven't made them in a while. The clear coat failed so I've just started to polish them. 17x8.5 0 offset with 285 70 17 but running spidertrax spacers.

I installed the Aiden James Customs sequential fog light bezels last weekend. Someday I would like to replace the headlights too but they are a little bit lower on my priority list. I am still trying to outfit it for some overlanding trips so the headlights will have to wait.

Supply chains loosening up and next year is probably the last for the 5th gen with the 4.0 liter V6. Reportedly the 3.4 liter twin turbo (or some variant) from the Tundra will be going into the 6th gen and I'd prefer the simpler and proven reliability of the 4.0.

Installed the cat shield I just bought from Talon's Garage. Not a big fan of the button head bolts supplied with the kit and will be swapping them out for longer versions of the OEM bolts. I've had bad luck in the past trying to remove similar ones that have been on a vehicle for a few winters.

Also knocked out the fluids and new Blizzaks.

Snow day here in Seattle. Spotted a Solar Octane parked in my neighborhood and had to get a side-by-side shot w/ my Inferno. Not sure if you're on here, but if you are, howdy neighbor!

God forbid a POT sticker on a guy. Per a previous thread, those front tie downs look to be stronger than just tie down hooks as they go completely through the front box member and are welded all around. Now where are your front shackles when you can’t reach the lower ones?

I wear my d ring shackles around my nipples.

However, since I got tetanus last time I wore em around my nipples, they just sit in a bag somewhere in the vehicle. I don't keep them mounted on the vehicle, eats the powdercoat, and invites rust.

Yeah, I think the lower tie downs are good enough for recovery. Good to have options though.

I promise I cleaned up the wiring before putting it back together lol

oh nice im about to try and install a tranny cooler tomorrow if i can find time. Did you have to drill holes for the brackets?

 

[mrblah]

how to piss off your GF/ wife

i couldn't help myself.....

i think i inhaled too much paint in this process :lookout:

Nope. All preexisting holes or tapped holes. Just had to cut, bend, and drill the supplied mounting brackets. Mounting it probably took the most time

The first part of your post is concerning. Lol
My shackles have the rubber liner insert and are tightened down well so they don’t move easily and don’t bang around on my bumper.

ROFL

broski, you got a link for those shackles?

Yeah i got isolators but they still bang and still rub the powdercoat off. I put duck tape on the inside of the holes but the banging annoys me more.

went and installed the cooler. I used your pic for reference which helped alot.

Only issue is i have a full 3 hoop bumper so my install went from a 1 on the easy scale to about 11....lol.

I had to climb over the bumper and sit on the hoops while i tried to get the transmission line off. PITA but worth it.

Thanks for the inspiration mang.
