    5100's set at 2.5", toytec AAL, DIY AUX port, broken mirror fix, temp/compass fix (twice), rattle-can gunmetal sport rims, debadged doors, fog-light anytime mod, DTRL mod, rear differential breather mod, drop in K&N air filter
    paid dirty cheap at a salvage yard for a stock mirror with lcd screen and a tailgate handle with the camera out of an 09. Retrofit them into my '05 with an almost completely stock configuration except for some splices and the wire running from the front to back. I can still unhook them if I want to go back to stock and keep the harness intact. Best deal I've ever found considering it would be about $700 for the parts from toyota not including install

    Probably a gallon of wiper fluid in a bad snow storm.

    In terms of mod dollars thus far probably my seat covers.

    I'd say the bed mat.

    it keeps stuff from sliding around back there...and actually protects the bed from damage. and I load her up with all kind of stuff, including construction trash.

    the weathertech's also were a good investment.

    my rock rails with kick ups. even thoe i am only 2wd they have saved my ass. one time i was driving down the high way and some kid decided to change lanes into me and my rock rails destroyed his car and saved me from alot of damage. then onetime i tried going up a hill that my friend had trouble going up in his jeep which is 4x4. despite the fact that i did pretty good, i slid sideways and hit a rock ledge with my rock rails. saving me from evenmore body damage. and i dont have to worry about other people dinging my doors anymore with their doors.


    sorry thats the best photo of my rock rails i have at the moment.

    Too much to list, but enough to get me in trouble. Repeatedly.
    Camper shell, hands down. Not even a half a thought on that.
    Next up would prolly be the safari rack.
