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

[Lexington]

Been awhile since I’ve logged on and had time to mess with my rig, yay kids.

Recently added SCS Gen5’s in gloss bronze, was really looking for another option than black rims on my silver paint

Also just installed GTR Carbide headlights.

Very nice! How do you like the lighting on that?

 

[MtnMike]

Installed my "not-pointing-at-the-ditch" lights. Got 'em pointing straight down the trail with spot lenses. All the other lights on the truck give me plenty of flood; I needed something with some reach.

Yes, these are DD SS3 pods, and the keen-eyed observer will notice they are indeed mounted upside down. Necessary for the way I wired them, but with spot lenses, running upside down isn't an issue.

Also yes, the hood opens fine. I get a nice gentle arc in the wire loom, and the connector doesn't contact the windshield.

I've been pretty happy so far. I was running XD LED bulbs in the stock housing before which was an upgrade over stock but still didn't provide great lighting.

This is a night and day difference.

Switched from 315/70 KM3s to 35x12.5 KM3s recently

The tires are definitely 'beefy' but what the heck are you doing to your rear quarter window???

you could rotate the lense/bezel if it bothers your OCD. looking good tho. I'd love some XL80's in that same spot for the same use. higher up long range lights.

I guess posting dash cam video just doesn’t cut it anymore? Lol! I have a few hours of video that I can delete now.

second hit n run

My demello bumper has paid itself in full, after 2 hit and runs. Best investment ever!!!!

Only damage is some cosmetic powdercoat on the bumper, shackle mount, shackle, and fairlead.

Damage to other vehicle..BUAAHAHAHHAAHAHAAHA...

I wish i had pictures, but they took off. First time was a little honda civic, and it ruined their bumper, and their tail light.

This time around, some white, old nissan of some kind, took out his entire rear passenger door and rear fender....

All i need is some spray paint n good as new. :thumb:

tire carrier safety pin latch upgrade

Accessorizing the accessories!!!!

Since i sheared off my safety pin a few months back on my tire carrier, I had the sheared safety pin sitting on my work bench. I also happen to have a lathe handle sitting nearby from a previous project and decided to put them together.

On the shrockworks bumper, the T handle on the safety pin was captured in between the swing arm bolt and tire carrier tube.....which means..u can only come down from the top and doesnt clear the big swing arm bolt.

The lever handle improves things, you don't have to come down from the top, it also free spins, so you can disengage the pin from different sides of the tire carrier and has more leverage., Also, it happens to be red.... extra 5+HP. :target:

Wow. You have a fully armored, accessorized Panzerkampfwagen in gray.

After almost two years of ownership, I found out I have remote start! Bought the Accessorides remote start to install. While searching YouTube for as many install videos as I can find, I find a dealership explaining which models have remote start from the factory. He explains that if you have the JBL system, then you have remote start. Are you kidding me? Immediately went out to try it and sure enough, started right up!

I asked the salesman when I picked it up and they told me only the Limiteds have it. Why do I ever listen them? I went two Chicago winters not knowing. Couldn’t feel dumber … :noidea:

Picked up a new toy
Triumph thruxton r
Also used the anytime backup camera to admire her while going dow the road

So, I did a thing today...

I replaced the stock speakers in my 2011 Toyota 4Runner SR5 with Kickers all around then bypassed the hatch speakers so the Rear speakers would work again without PM. Then installed some soundproofing to kill the road noise.

Speakers:
Kicker 47KSC6504
KS Series 6-1/2" 2-way car speakers - Rear door
Kicker 46CSS694
CS Series 6"x9" component speaker system - Lower Front door/Dash tweeters
2 Crossovers

Soundproofing:
Epakh 240 Pcs Square Double-Sided Tape
Artilife Closed Cell Sponge Foam Rubber Sheet Roll, 1/8" T x 17" W x 80" L
Siless 50 mil (1.3mm) 52 sqft Car Sound Deadening mat - Butyl

Semi finished up my drawer system. Just need to paint it with deck paint or something. Pretty happy with the fit and finish considering I’m a newbie at this.

I started with covering the floor with Amazon brand sound deadener. Then used some existing mounting points to secure the base and built the enclosure up from there. Once I got the drawer slides in I was able to make the actual drawer and toss everything together.

I hope your door actuator motors don't give out any time soon (I've gone through 3 or 4) - peeling back the sound deadener on the vapor barrier to access them is gonna suuuuuck.

Window Stops

Random. I have a 2019 ORP and when I close the driver's window on auto and proceed to close the door midway, the window stops moving. It happens to the passenger side as well, but not the rear windows. Is this normal or is something wonky? I still have autonation's limited warranty so planning to take it to the dealer if not normal.

Broken Camera

Last week I bumped my back up camera into my garage door.

Today I took apart the lift and yanked out the unit. Easy enough. It's definitely broken though. No amount of DIY will get this camera to work again.

* Would you replace it with a factory option from Rockauto? They sell three options ($93-$145). Are they sell all the same? (they appear to be)

* Would you replace it with aftermarket? I have one of these (Amazon.com: NATIKA Backup/Front View Camera,IP69K Waterproof Great Night Vision HD and Super Wide Angle Metal OEM Style Reverse Rear View Backup Camera for Cars Pickup Trucks SUVs RVs Vans (Black) : Everything Else) but the plugs are all aftermarket. Is there an adapter so I do not need to splice wires? I'm plenty handy but would rather not cut an RCA.

* I reached out to one of the anytime camera companies (4runnerlifestyle.com)...twiddling thumbs as I await a response.

I dig seeing all of your rigs BTW. Beautiful. 2015 Limited on 17" rims here.

Did a little snow wheeling and bbq on Sunday with some good friends. Took Foss River Road up to Tonga Ridge in Skykomish, WA. Nothing like some snow wheeling followed with grilling burgers on the mountain!

This is sooooo very true! However, I have to take the good with the bad. My wife loves the stereo/speaker upgrades and now with the soundproofing she can enjoy her podcasts on her daily commute at half the volume as before. That annoying road noise has been reduced significantly along with the persistent whine (non-vehicle related) coming from the driver's seat.

Another one knocked off the "Honey-DO" list. )
