Q's 2011 Limited Build
2011 4Runner Limited MGM
Updated 5/18/12: Lift Install
The day I bought it
First mod was replacing the shift knob, started out with a nice leather knob from Momo but it seemed a bit smallish
so i searched high and low only to settle on this $7 Walmart special. it looks great
Next up was some new rubber (the stock 245,s just looked lost to me), 275/55r20 Nitto Crosstek's and a set of AVS vent visors.
Next was a 3Fer. 1) Tinted the two front windows @ 35% and put a 20% strip across the windsheild. 2) Added the OEM mud flaps,
and 3) A Yakima LoadWarrior cargo basket
Thats it for now. Got a set of DeeZee CUV boards on order will post a couple pics when i get them mounted.
Thanks for looking
----------------UPDATED 11/29/11------------------
DeeZee boards added

Looks good! You need to buy the extension for that rack, looks 100 times better!

Thanks!! To my surprise the Nitto's ride very nice both round town and on the highway and are much quieter than looks would lead ya to believe. Tho they do like to follow grooves a bit. Yup the rack is a bit short so def gonna get the extension. As for a mega rack, I really didn't want the rack to extend over the moon roof. I must say thou that i do like the look of the Gobi full length rack but it's over kill for my needs.
Thanks again for posting

What do you think of the tint strip on the windshield? I was considering putting a 35% one up.. I have 20% on the front windows and like it a lot, wasnt sure if the windshield strip would be obstructing... I still may just use a clear heat film on the entire front window, i dunno. Thanks for your input in advance.
I agree the Pats flag could go, but I totally understand why it wouldn't. haha! Good luck this post-season, but not too much luck!
I am also looking at getting the crossteks from a local shop.. would you mind letting us know what you paid?

Man nobody like's my Pats flag How bout I put up my Bruins flag?!
Ya I wasn't too sure about having the strip on the windshield at first but the tint guy assured me I would like it. He was right and I'm glad I put it on it really cuts down on the glare and doesn't obstruct my view at all. My strip is 20% and I wish I had put 5%, personally I think 35% would be much to light but just my opinion.
On the crossteks IIRC they were right around $210.00 each plus $100.00 mount/balance/align, didn't have them mounted where i bought em.

Finally ordered the wheels, man I never thought it would be so hard to choose.
Went with the Black Rhino Imperial in 18 x 9 -12 (4.5BS) and for tires 295/65-18 Duratracs. Should have them by the end of the week and hopefully have the lift and all installed within a couple weeks. Hopefully being the key word here
Pic of the wheel, pic's of lift install to follow soon.
