Ideas with rebuilding X runner?

I have an X runner I bought as a salvage last year and need to get back to rebuilding it to recoupe some money. It's not that badly damaged really. The obvious choice would be to bring it back to stock. But honestly, I think the body kit on the X runner is dated.....very dated. I keep thinking Fast and Furious....the first one....I know there are some holes that will need to be filled, but not as many as the prerunner/4x4 model. The truck will be getting repainted anyhow, so was considering a 'custom' color that isn't crazy, but just enough to make it a little different. Might even consider buying dropped spindles/blocks to bring it down a little.

**as I'm writing..what about satin black with red wheels?**

p.s. I know there's XR underground and an xrunner section, but it doesn't get as much viewing.

Your constructive criticism is welcome.

 

Sounds like a goal! Bronze and bronze wheels are gaining popularity too. I'd leave it stock height, go for beefing-up the suspension....focus on performance, like a TRD supercharger.

 

Eh...the supercharger I think would be nice but price wise not gonna happen. Selling it salvage title will be enough work. I doubt I would recoupe the money for a supercharger. I like the bronze/bronze idea. Or bronze with black wheels w/polished lip.
