I did timing belt job first thing when I got it as well as threw some new shoes on. Not a real popular option but the Kumhos had a great price ride well and are pretty quiet. Scraped and repainted the entire undercarriage....was a big job. Did LBJs iTREs and oTREs.
One of my cheapo mods but one I really like js the grip tape on the door sills

Tossed in an Infinity basslink yesterday. I love it. Not too serious....just enough to help things sound good and I really like the bass control. Not sure about the door speakers cause I have not opened up a door panel to see if the PO put in aftermarket seperates but I dont think they are stock. With the Alpine HU things sound great without attracting attention.

And fjnally....lighting. have an HID kit from theretrofitsource. I know there are alot of mixed feelings on this but I am impressed with this kit. They make a quality product and the reflectors they include seem to really help focus the light without blinding other drivers. Have put leds everywhere else that will accept them and did this little mod with a 4 dollar strip off ebay. Not as clean looking as I like but very effective.


Haha funny I caught the 4runner passing in the background

Be careful with the basslink on the seat like that. The seat back you've drilled it into is just a thick cardboard like material.

Mine is just sitting on the floor in the back and has never moved (although I have never wrecked with it in there).

Thanks for the input. I actually drilled into the metal under the fiberboard and screwed into that. Not sure I like the location still so I may move it in the future.

Looks good. Love the Dorado Gold. I just put a BassLink in my 740i. Sounds pretty good I think.

What roof rack is that?

Thanks alot. I actually didnt care for the color when I bought it but it had everything else I was looking for. The longer I have it the more I like the color tho. Just a cheap Rage rack but it hauls my gear when I need it to. I just made the fairing out of a scrap piece of lexan and painted the back of it.
