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

[mrblah]

Installed a new to me hefty fab aluminum bumper.

good choice.

It was between hefty and demello for me. I went with demello due to wait times, but man, i still break my neck everytime i see a hefty bumper.

Thanks! I was actually contemplating a hybrid bumper with all the memorial day sales going on. Was debating between the bamf or c4. Found this hefty aluminum on fb marketplace at a hefty discount so I couldnt pass on it. Glad I went with an aluminum though.

Plugged

Guy on Etsy sells a plug for the rear hook crevices.

Yes. I have a 2018. I agree that their website is ambiguous/unclear. It would be pretty simple to make it a little better. Product is nice and well powder coated. Maybe they meant 2010-2024? I don’t think there is any difference in the rear shock design and location for the 2010-13 versus the 2014+. As far as trapping water, some members have stated that they drilled a small hole in the bottom. I didn’t. They should do this.

Awesome, thanks for the quick and thorough response. I need to get some more armor underneath the truck post-summer, and a rear diff skid/shock skids are high up on the list.

rear seat delete is complete, my doggo's will be happy. :beer:

Well, this wheel squeaked enough to get the estimate for a new rear end. Now, if they'll do the work in a timely manner!

Just got a call that the "Blue Beast" is ready. Rent a car tomorrow, leave Friday, pick it up Friday evening or Sat morning, see some petroglyphs outside of Klamath Falls, leave Sunday, stay over in Bend and head home. Road construction on the "Rez", so we'll have to detour.

Duck!

Was crowded into a parking garage with a small "6'1" clearance" sign over the entry and literally ducked as I drove through. On the way in the second time, I reached my hand up out of the window to feel how close it really was - woah! Also, checked my shark fin for any scrapes. All good today, thankfully, but definitely a compelling case for keeping stock height

Revived a 4th gen v8.

Not today but in the last week I had the Toltec kit removed and 265 NRG's put on, rides nice and plush again. Also new belt, front brakes/brake fluid.

Been hitting the single track a lot..its good dirt season down here.

Packing up the rental for a quick turn-around trip to pick up "The Beast". Installed a portable Garmin GPS in the rental. Will move it to her RAV when we return!

This is my main reason I kept my truck stock height, too many 6' parking garages in my city

Finally got around to putting on my Dr.KDSS BOTCK. So much better road feel I should have done this a long time ago!

Same for me. I leveled the front, but actually removed a 3/2 lift, because I park in short commercial garages and I occasionally transport old people.

Yeah, I am now realizing that too. I just came off 15 years of driving sport sedans, so I never noticed, but I sure do now!

I had an old Pathfinder (the ORP reminds me of it, and I loved that truck!) and various pickup trucks before that, but drove them in a smaller city where parking garages were properly built for trucks and tall people.

What is the highest point on a ORP? I assume the shark fin? Also, how tall is that point supposed to be with stock size tires and stock suspension?

Just beautiful!!! What wheels are those? Steelies or an alloy version? Any closeups of them? Sorry if you already mentioned it elsewhere. I am looking for a basic, lighter alloy with a steelie look or similar.

Last year, I passed up an amazing deal for a blue SR5 premium because I just couldn’t visualize how to make it look good as a truck even though I really liked the color on its own. Now, I have a visual! hoto:

I installed the same one about a month or more ago. Coupled with my Durobump bump stops, it made a noticeable difference. I have a 3” extended travel Radflo suspension on mine, so the PCK and the longer bump stops are imperative.

I'm happy with mine. theyre meant to do one thing and do it well. I am not crazy about the ones with the wing on the front to protect the shock shaft, i feel if it bends itll do more harm then good.

i also added shock boots and the kings have been flawless for what we use them for in desert stuff.

I drove it home from Kansas after buying it! My first 4Runner. 2009 SR5 Trail Edition.
