Help Me Out With Some Reccomendations
Alrighty, my birthday just passed so I racked up a bit of money, about 300 bucks. Thus, I am looking to maybe put it into my runner.

I'll take any reccomendations whether it be audio, performance or improving the exterior.

Here are some pics of my runner just to give you an idea...

Thanks in advance.

Well, do you listen to the radio a lot or travel where you need tunes? Get Satellite Radio if you do.

Or try to get a push bar or off road lights if they will serve a purpose.

Use the money on something that will serve a purpose, otherwise you might regret spending the money...

i agree....spend your money on something useful. for example, my front and rear guards are very useful for parking around chicago, but i didn't get offroad lights because i don't go offroading.

Well, I won't be going off roading. Although, I did just get back from vacation on the Outer Banks, NC. Took it on the beach, and she handles VERY nicely. I was just cruising with no problem what so ever, I even nailed 40 MPH like it was nothing, which is actually VERY fast on the beach. Feels like you're going 80.

ANYWAY, despite not being an off-roader, grill guards have always appealed to me. To me, they enhance the look, plus offer protection.

I'd prefer something that enhances the look, really.

Nice 4Runner. I would look into getting some vent visors for your windows. They add to the aggressive look and are only around $40 or $50 for all 4. Also, you could look at getting some clear turn signals and/or clear corners. I was never too fond of the orange turn signal lenses on the chrome bumper. I gave the entire front end of my '97 an overhaul with clear corners, turns, and the '01 style multireflector headlights (big improvement).

Here is a picture of the front end of mine:
