    Well at the moment since I just finished getting my lift, wheels and tires all buttoned up my next big move is undecided but I’m between paint or trying to source a 5vz and swapping it in to get rid of the 3rz for hopefully a of hair power increase without sacrificing reliability, but besides those big ambitions, I’m hoping soon to retrofit projectors into some new black housings and also building a roof rack that extends from the cab all the way back over the topper like the front runner racks for the 2nd and 3rd gens. I’m planning to post all of my further mods that I do so keep posted on this thread if your interested in seeing!

    So as far as interior mods goes, I’ve done things along the way to make it suit my needs and wants and so this is everything I’ve done to the interior so far.
    •Kenwood deck
    •JBL speakers in all 4 corners
    •Added butyl sound deadening to the doors (planning to do under carpet as well)
    •Deleted the ashtray and put the CB in its place
    • Painted the center console a satin black to match the black on the dash
    • Replaced stock halogen dash lights with white leds
    •Replaced 60/40 split bench seat with buckets from a 2002 forester (I ripped the side after about 2 months, still pissed about that even til today)
    •.50 cal ammo can for a center console since the buckets opened up the spot for one (plan to swap one in from an 01-04 just haven’t decided to pay out the ass for one yet)
    •Husky Liner laser fit floor mats
    •Set of foam ear plugs between the dash and windshield to stop the the all mighty rattling

    Open to answering any questions you guys have about what I’ve done!

    Or a way to help a member get more power out of his 3RZ for a lot less work than a 5VZ swap.
