    Well I haven't decided if I'm having the roof done this time or not, I went up and looked at it and I didn't think it looked as bad as the guy said. Plus we get hail here every spring well into summer so I may wait till next years storms come through and then have it done. Lockers will still have to wait until 2024 though as I have a senior in HS applying to colleges, gulp!

    Installed my KAON front recovery points today. Pretty straight forward install with no cutting - just bolt them on!

    Nothing too impressive on Friday. Mostly cosmetic "upgrades." Found a red leather/black carbon fiber shifter:

    The big project was next: replaced the white hood scoop with a black matte OEM one. Found it online at Serra Toyota of Decatur, AL. Had a great price on it (plus free shipping). Even the weather stripping was low priced. I think in total I payed less than $80.

    Other than those 2 big ones, I put in a new Garmin Mini2 camera in. Old one gave up it's ghost after 3 years of use. Easy peasy.

    Upgraded to a new roof rack today. Had the Rhino Rack pioneer platform for years. It’s a great system. Just wanted an upgrade to a full length rack. Couldn’t be happier with the Sherpa Crestone!

    I'd highly recommend an all weather lock solution, as those locks do not last in the elements.

    I used a gun lock on my fence gate for maybe 3 months and I had to cut it off as I couldn't even turn the key.

    Think spraying a lubricant / rust protectant on their bare metal areas could buy me a little more time in the rain?

    Ya know maybe? I would say packing it with grease might keep water and crap out. But the tiny uncoated Tumbler and pins probably just aren't up to the task for long.

    I'd google outdoor locks, I've got a couple that secure my roof top awning that have been up there for years without maintenance.

    Notable here is just how much dirt (and water?) got past the original weather seals on the skoop. Did you find any rust?

    Installed my Westcott Designs 0 degree Sliders without a top plate and no kickout. Install was a breeze with the help of the wife.

    Nice!! I’m plan on ordering mine. How long did you wait. I’m going kick out and top plate. Which did you do mig, or tig weld? And your decision on the metal? One other question I cannot find from anyone and I have searched what is the measurement how from they stick out to stand on. Are they out far enough to prevent door dings? Thanks.

    Tube Material is HREW Mig Wielded, I can measure tonight for the stick out, Yes they do stick out enough to prevent door dings.
    I waited 8 weeks, but they are well worth the wait :bananadance:

    Living in the rust belt myself, I recommend not getting top plates. The winter slush will build up and rust underneath. And it is a PITA to clean under there in the winter. Knowing what I know now, I'd rather not have them.

    @4runningMan I did NOT notice rust. As far as dirt goes, it is a 21. Poor Casper has def seen his fair share of gravel roads over last year since I got him. But I don't know much about the previous owner either.

    Not sure if I will have that problem. I did not have that problem with my Tyger steps with the bars and top plate. My garage is heated so any of that shit just melts off in my garage at winter time. Having radiant heat in the concrete floor it drys all that slush and snow.

    A heated garage is a game changer for sure. The winter mess underneath is my biggest complaint, and I would rather not have 'em for that reason only. Otherwise, they are pretty nice to have for getting gear on the roof.

    Yeah I need them because me and the wife are on the short size. Lol. And us being up in age makes it much easier to get in. Also nice for washing the vehicle besides using a ladder. When I had my Tyger steps on my 17 and 20 Pro’s I had no door dings because they stuck out pretty far. Another thing I like about sliders.

    Yeah, swapping sensors and I’ll post up. Only 400 miles on tires so I’m not sure what the going rate is on these. I’m new to the Toyota game

    swapping sensors? why, are you changing wheels? Not just shoes/tires?

    not sure what the going rate is on these? I normally sell on FB Marketplace at $500 for the 5 factory Dunlop Grandtrek AT20 tires.
    I see nowadays 4Runners coming with Bridgestone tires, no personal experience on those.
