    I Need more mods. I am running out of ideas on what to do to the truck that isn't going to cost a fortune.

    I don't do any offroading or rock climbing so those types of mods would be a waste to put on the truck.

    I have looked through the free/cheap mod list and the only thing that strikes my fancy is the rear view anytime mod. I don't want to mess around too much while it's under warranty and I will probably wait until I can find a way to get my reverse cam to show on the headunit.

    Mods Done:
    Color Matched grill
    Plastidipped lower bumper valance
    Plastidipped badges
    LED interior upgrade
    Fog light reverse lights
    BHLM
    Retrofit: 2.5" FX-R projectors, chrome apollo shrouds, 5000k XBs

    Mods possibly in the near future:
    Black side steps
    Window Visors maybe
    Some type of exhaust tip (undecided)
    Paint rear bumper

    Mods in the far future:

    FJ TT Rims in black (might plastidip mine for now?)
    Scooped hood maybe
    color matched mirrors with signals



    The day I got it:

    Reverse light mod (driver is foglight, passenger is OEM)

    What does this truck need guys? I feel the everlasting mod itch :D. I always feel like it needs one more thing.

    This itch ended quickly with my old car because I sold my R6 and had $4k to play with.

    Advance Auto. You can get the sylvania ones at walmart too.

    Sylvania LED 194/168/2825s for the map
    An Alpena DomeLitz 12 LED brick for the dome light.

    I tried a festoon style sylvania bulb but the output was crap.


    I will replace the tires when they are junk, at this point I might as well run them until bald because it's brand new and I only really drive to work and back.

    Also have considered the leveling shocks too.

    Really what I need to do is start retrofitting for people.

    Can make a few bucks doing something fun, to pay for other mods and still have a time consuming project :D

    Grillecraft grill
    More lights :rolleyes:
    Light bar such as avid offroad for looks if you want
    Wetokole seat covers
    Weathertech liners
    Leveling kit/small lift
    Window tint

    New muffler with a tip maybe? Relatively cheap mod as well.

    Btw, if you do plasti dip your rims, with the color of your truck I'd recommend using the glossifier on it so they're not a flat black. I think a glossy black would look better.
