Best/Worst Mod

Just wondering what everyone thought their best and worst (never do it again, avoid at all costs, etc) is. The mods can be anything (engine, suspension, stickers, etc.)

Best: TSB 062-18 (the transmission one), new speakers all around

Worst: Kenwood headunit (wish I had gone with Sony)

I know mine aren’t so groundbreaking but my truck is still new.

 

Best: Softopper
Worst: Air Lift suspension helpers. (I use the Roadmaster suspension now, it's slightly better.)

Actually let me revise that.

Best and worst: Dog hammock. No matter how many hours I vacuum a week (and it's a lot of hours) the inside of that truck is never getting clean again .

 

Best: Tires, Skids and Sliders.
Worst: Skids and Sliders. Since adding the armor I now wheel too hard!

 

Jimbeamz is cool but 4x4 is fun. I couldn’t choose. Don’t make me choose.

Worst mod is a tough one.

Is this a fuck/marry/kill exercise?

 

Best: OVTune

Worst: these awful aftermarket headlight housings

 

best: OVTuning tune, SSO Slimline hybrid bumper with 20” Rigid light and Warn Zeon 10-s Winch (about to be installed)
worse: cab mount chop (would have been nice if Toyota made a frame/wheel well that cold accommodate larger tires)

 

Hmmmm

Best: I’d have to go with 63 swap because my ass end rides like a Cadillac and it has a hell of a lot more travel over stock.

Worst: My OME front suspension. It doesn’t suck, but if I have to pick best/worst, here’s the worst. I’m satisfied with it for now, but I knew it was only temporary when I went with it.

 

Best was Pro Fox shocks, used for a fair price.
No more mushy, disconnected from the road feeling.

Worst.....haven’t found it yet. I try not to get caught up in hype and do my research.

 

What don't you like about the OMe?

 

It’s not that I don’t like OME. Like I said, it doesn’t suck.
OP wanted best and worst. Even though I’m satisfied with OME, I know there are better choices. That’s why I chose it as worst.

 

Best mod:

Mesojdm Gasshole:

Worst mod:

Sucked in for the dealer paint protection scam.

 

Best mod: rear sway bar install
Worst mod: MesoJDM White dome lights. I should have got red. The white is angled strait at my eyes and blinds me. I still love them, they are just the least favorite of my mods.

 

I actually appreciate the dull glow of the stock Toyota incandescents at night.

 

BEST: Lexus Credit Card Key. Never have to find my keys, and less in my pocket.

Worst: (more like worst choice for me) the Pro Skid, beautiful and beefy skid, but silver skid just didn’t look right with everything else blacked out, only ran it a few days.

Runner up: Could be best or worst, BHLM. Pain in the ass and way too much work, but man are those headlights pretty now.

Best: Gatortrax MX tonneau cover and all of the interior and exterior led upgrades.

Worst: not really a worst but I wish I would’ve paid the extra $ to get a one and be done suspension upgrade. I’m happy with my setup and don’t need anything better for what I do (camping and mall crawling) but would be nice to not question my setup if I ever decide to do more than novice/intermediate off roading.

 

Best is wheels and tires as they make the most difference to me
Worst is that I probably should have just got sliders to start with versus a $270 set of sturdy steps. May end up welding and modifying them to sliders, but probably should have just spent the money and got sliders.

 

Best: Clazzio seat covers

Worst: Flowmaster that has since been removed. Too much drone in the cab.

 

Best: Wherls and tires
Worst: Not getting my hybrid bumper powdercoated from the factory.

 

So far for the price...

Best- hid headlights
Worst- TRD intake. I can't help myself when OEM add ons are available, but it really isn't worth it.

 

Best: Hands down OVtune

Worst: not buying good aftermarket suspension the first time
