No 4wd on an 2006, what are some good mods??
I've got a 2006 T4R limited v8 with 2wd. I want to have some mods but I don't want a complete mall crawler. I won't lift or put tires on the car because i think thats a waste of money in my case but I know there are more options than that. I'm open to performance mods and just cool stuff.
Any help is appreciated!

I thought all V8 model were 4wd?
Anyway some good mods would be an intake or an exhaust. The 4.7s always sound good with a bit of growl.
And even if you arent interested in getting a lift, getting some aftermarket shocks such as bilsteins will make the ride quality so much better than before. theres no way i could go back to my old shocks after my bilsteins.

My recommendation...
Sell it to a Soccer Mom and buy a 4x4.

If you don't have the need for lifting it and want performance, add a supercharger.

Just because it is not 4x4 does not mean you cant level it out and run a little beefier tire.

TRD made one for the 03-04, and discontinued due to rod snaps. URD doesn't make one, and I don't think anyone makes a kit. You could make one yourself, but it would take a lot of time and effort put into the fab work. There is a turbo setup some people do with the V8s, and then drop 'em in Supras and what have you. There's a video somewhere of a V8 runner turbo, too.

Aesthetic mods are always nice, even a leveling kit would be somewhat for looks, as its to get that ugly front squat up.

Touche guys. I just assumed the OP was looking for different ideas that maybe haven't been covered on the forum.
Would be cool to see someone fab up a turbo on the v8.
