I guess it depends on where you plan on taking it. I would ditch the running boards for rock sliders if you ever intend on taking it off road what so ever. A supercharger certainly would be awesome, as are the new remote starts!

Hmmm.... maybe I should ask the dealership to cancel the running boards and put that money towards some TRD wheels or something else? Any recommendations? (Already paid the inflated OEM price for the running boards)

Well it's been a few weeks, but I got the remote start and some tint on the front windows. I've got a pro-clip mount for my iPhone on order, and will soon orders some weathertech floor mats. I'd also like to replace all of the interior lights with LEDs, and perhaps build a double drawer system for the cargo area.
Perhaps wheels and tires are in my future soon, as well as a Baja Rack! Pretty weak mods so far, but one can always dream, right?

I built a set of drawers for mine this spring for a trip to Moab, thought I would take them out but they are really handy and don't think I ever will now

Farmington Area

Hey guys,

I down here in Farmington. 2005 Sport, currently sitting on a Daystar kit but that soon to change. Icon rear and FJ combo and new UCAs to fix the alignmnet issues up front. Wheels and bigger tires to follow soon after. I am interested in getting a Twin Cities Toyota group up and going. Would be nice to get together with other Toyota owners.

Always good to see another Toyota in the Twin Cities. When you are ready to hit some trails, let me know. If you haven't trekked up to Gilbert, I'd suggest coming to our clubs open house up there May 18th.

I realize this thread is 10 months old since the last post, but I live just north of the Cities and would really like to get out and wheel if anybody is interested.

The wheeling season has kinda wrapped up for me. I will probably only get out once more before April or May. Have you been up to Gilbert yet? I'm part of the North Shore Wheelers club, one of the only active clubs that accepts all vehicle types in MN. Check out our forum we usually get out a a half dozen times a summer and always welcome newcomers. nsw4x4.com

Y'all need to check out spider lake. Just north of Pequot lakes. I'd be interested in taking a toy group through that area when I get back from Texas this spring.

Greetings, everyone!

Interesting that I started a thread identical to this one over on 120. I got precisely zero responses.

I'm over in Maple Grove and am a complete newbie. Just figured out what suspension lift I want to get when I have the money, but I've got dreams of driving my rig off-road out in the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming, and the rest of the Rockies someday. Until then, I guess I'll be somewhat ready if the SHTF.

What I really need to find is places/people around here who know 4R's and can help me install stuff and teach me things.

Good to hear I'm not the only guy up here in the Tundra!

I'm west of the cities in Winsted now. I'll be in Mn for the next few months. This fall I'm planning a week long trip starting in spider lake. I'm happy to help A newbie out.
