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

6112s are adjustable via c-clips. #6 clip on driver side and #4 on passenger. It’s recommended to set the drivers side higher to accommodate for the drivers side lean.

Roger that. Thanks. When mine were installed we went with the lowest level, which appears very close to level. I’m not seeing any drivers side lean on mine.
 
Tested the new Harbor Freight foam Cannon. I swapped out the orifice for a 1.1

The "foam Cannon" the pressure washer came with

New one

Strongly suggest the MJJC Pro foam cannon. Tons of excellent shaving cream level foam. Check out imjoshv’s YT channel for comparison tests. I have one and love it. Works great and is a game changer for washing cars. Same with a pressure washer which I assume you have.

Painstakingly worked on my suspension this weekend, at least 7 hours and 3 trips to Autozone later I got my JBA UCAs on, Dobinsons 302/505 installed, and upgraded to 285s - Cooper AT3 XLTs. Had a BMC and some bumper trimming done earlier in the week in preparation for the new tires, alignment will happen tomorrow.

Really happy with the new stance and can’t wait to go flex on some curbs at the mall.

That is actually were I got the review from the Harbor Freight foam cannon with the 1.1 orifice. Love his videos. So far the HF one is working 100x better than the old one. I will probably upgrade down the road. Right now using the HF Pressure Washer and now there upgraded Foam Canon. I will be buying the Maxine Clay bar applicator disc because of his review. The Camrys paint is a hot mess, hopefully that will help.

Let me guess, the stupid washers that go on the inside of the control arms. Those where a pain in the ass for me.

Looks good.
 
Showing off my perfectly color-matched anytime backup camera button, freshly installed with custom LED backlight to match the rest of the OEM backlights on the 4Runner's dash. The original anytime backup camera button is backlit with a harsh bright blue that sticks out like a sore thumb, and also reflects terribly on the inside of the driver's door window at night. Now it blends into the dash and barely reflects off the window at all.

Nicely done.
 
I ran the same tires for close to 60k miles. These are probably the best all-around AT tire on the market. I just wish they made them in a tall skinny.

You and James over on the FB group helped me land on these tires. He talked me into the Nokian Outposts but Discount Tire couldn't get them in.

lol, I definitely dropped one into the abyss and thought I was screwed but eventually found it. I couldn't break the balljoint free to save my life and the pitman arm puller I got from Autozone was damaged but didn't realize it until I was home and then had to make the return trip.

Also had issues with the nut on top of my shocks and had to find a new one to go on. It was a hot mess of a day.
 
Made an audio mistake on my wife's 2011 4Runner SR5

So, I finally finished the complete audio upgrade of my wife's 4Runner. Replaced all 8 speakers with high end speakers as well as a new double-din head unit with amp.

I made the mistake of giving her my subwoofer box and amp pushing 2 12" subs. Her audio sounded phenomenal once everything was tuned just right. She kept thanking me over and over for the upgrade, that is until she opened the back hatch and saw the big azz sub box. That's when the fight started!

She did NOT approve of the big boom box from the 80's in her car. Like I had somehow desecrated her beloved `yota.

Needless to say the big sub box is gone (need to sell it as it's brand new) and it's been replaced with a BOSS Audio Systems BAB8 Amplified Car Subwoofer - 800 Watts Max Power, Low Profile, 8 Inch Subwoofer that fit neat and discreet under the passenger side seat. --> Amazon.com

Installation was relatively simple and straight-forward but it was time consuming to remove the seat and wire up properly.

I highly recommend this unit, especially if you find yourself in a similar situation as I did where compromising for space is the ONLY option.

This unit is a great addition to anyone's sound system. It really puts out a lot of sound for it's size.

Quick add-on this afternoon - Rosen Insight Versafit 15" Visor
Insight(R) Versafit Sunvisor System

Will update with additional pics and review when I get some miles and use with it.

Quality, and customer service (Suzanne) is outstanding! Fast shipping, as was in stock.

Light, sturdy and very well designed. A nice thick acrylic lens, reminds me of a neutral density filter, it doesn't change the colors just the brightness and glare.

A few call outs:
1. Very light but does drop the OEM shade a few mm's when in upward position. My fabric visor molle panel on passenger side does the same thing w only a few small things on it.
2. Curve part of the clamps ends does not let visor go fully into it. The OEM visor is thick, but the clamp still grabs it solidly and the curve makes it around somewhat.
3. If you are tall, when in the upright position, thee arm and visor from the side does sit in the windshield view about 1" from the top. I'm 6' 2" and this doesn't really bother me though.

Overall very happy with this, a bit pricey but again superb quality item and for something that may add in a safety factor. I wear sunglasses less and less lately in even sunny weather and also occasionally wear prescription glasses (non tinted).

Anxious to get a few sunrise, sunset drives in for testing. Also covers the hood scoop from my POV so curious to see if it helps with that occasional mid day glare. (my OCD won't let me wash/wax less)

how much was it?

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with these types of days! lol
