Talking Bought my 4runner Yesterday! Which mods?

Hey, I just bought this 4runner yesterday! I'm so happy its a white 2004 Sport 4wd V8 with 80,000 miles on it. Its already a little bit raised an inch or so and they are a little bit bigger than the stock tires. 265/70/16. Id like to put a couple hundred dollars into the car, but have no idea what is a good idea.
Because its white I could black everything else out but I don't know if thats what I'd like to do yet. Im curious about the headlights and upgrading them along with the other lights around the car (tail lights, etc).

Is it a bad idea to plasi-dip the rims?

How do I get the rear emblem off?

Ill be putting pictures up later guys sorry I don't have them right now

UPDATED *PICTURES

265/70/16 or 265/70/17? 265/70/16 (or 265/65/17 or 265/60/18) is a stock size.

A lot of people plastidip their rims, it's just a personal preference thing

Use a heat gun or hair dryer to get the adhesive warm and the back and side emblems should just pull off. The front emblem clips into the grille.

Now lets see those pictures!

Hey guys, now that you see it I'd love to hear ideas. I like the offloading look and concept so lights, roof rack with lights, some little things and tricks would be great

tint the front windows the darkest you can legally, window deflectors, performance muffler with a nice tip, cold air intake (if you want louder engine), better looking wheels/rims, weathertech digital fit mats all three rows, etc etc... you get the idea

First time on any forum? Look around in picture and build threads what people have done, search about things you like, type in your credit card numbers, and bam, magic happens

Congrats and nice ride!

Timing belt/Water pump are every 72 months or 90K miles. Your past the 72 months. Suggest changing it for piece of mind.

First time I have seen mention of a timeframe based on age. I changed mine at 85K miles but it was 85 or so months of age.

If you are to start blacking out a white Runner, I think these LED tail lights would look real slick.
