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

[johnnygraphic]

Some Friday night garage time.

After recently adding the Garmin Mini 3 to the front I got one for the rear.
Routed the cable along head liner, down rear pillar by jack storage compartment, over wheel well to under the rear door sill, under rear floor mat to 12v on back of center console. Garmin's 12v adaptor can take two cables.

Looks decent, will road test today. Sits back a tad from the window bc I used the retainer clip, no adaptor, seemed to be the cleanest install. Used the clip closer to passengers side vs center one so that the camera sits in the area where the wiper cleans.

Very nice & clean install!!!

Yesterday & today we took the Runner to Cinders OHV area in Flagstaff, AZ. Round trip of 280 miles. Cinders Rec. area was a trip! You are driving on small lava rocks. We drove up some of the smaller cinder hills but man they have some towering climbs. It was our first time doing some real off road driving. If anyone is ever heading out to the Flagstaff area and want to do some off road riding I recommend you check it out. I came across it by chance on you tube.

Completed a washer fluid tank relocation/replacement: I installed the Snowbound Customs washer tank (and removed the OEM plastic tank).* Tremendously expensive, but, IMHO, it is a really elegant solution--to my eye this thing is a work of art. (I had the powder coating done locally; the tank is basically invisible in flat black.)

I couldn't do the other common tank relocation options due to my ARB twin being installed in the void near the passenger-side firewall.

Again, it's spendy, but it is clean.

(I am not affiliated with the vendor of this product in any way aside from just being a satisfied customer.)

*Installed Wildpeak AT4W LT285/75R17 tires (34.1" according to the Falken web site) in early January--they rubbed on the OEM washer fluid tank.

Wrapped my OEM TRD Pro Grill. Wasn't difficult but it was tedious.

replaced front brake pads and rotors

highly recommend using two M8 1.25x 50MM bolts to remove the rotors!! It popped right off without issue

How is that mounted? Is it just the headliner sandwiched between the magnet and the metal mount?

That sounds great! How have you used the 4rnr for home projects?

Went from using 3M tape to gluing it so it's solid, no wobbling. Camera is super light. Filed a small notch in the retainer clip and routed the cable in the notch up into the headliner.

I had made a small revision by cutting a piece of plastic spacer I had laying around. This dropped the camera down about 1/4" and I angled it so the camera could face down a little more. The camera itself would only tilt so far.

Replace or resurface brake rotors? OEM or Aftermarket?
Toyota part sales and discount dealers made the decision easy for me.

So you got 2 OEM rotors for $130?

Got a link from which dealer you ordered from?

Finished my center console mod: designed and printed a hex panel and molle panel to replace the tissue box holder. Will probably reroute the elastic cord, fortunately I made it so the panel can be removed without destroying it. Available for free at Printables.

Sale is over unfortunately. The dealer I’ve been using lately is Lewis Toyota in KS. Also they shipped me ATF and Coolant a few months ago.

Discovered that my front lower ball joint has a very weird rust spot. I'll see if I can get a picture uploaded. I was worried that something had broken off it looks so harsh.

That's your steering stop, need to smear a little grease on it, check other side too.

Normal, wait until your halfshafts look like that.
