Another what to buy thread

[GX4SEVEND]

Sorry to make another one of these but i figured I'd get other's ideas as well on what I should buy. I'm looking to spend around $3-400.

Here is some stuff ive thought of.....

PIAA 520's of IPF 968's
Hella 500ff's with HID's
LED tails
Sliders? (addicted offroad never got back to me)
????


Thanks for any input guys

If you do the odd wheeling trip, I'd suggest the sliders. If not, and are like me, get the L.E.D tails. I'm currently waiting to get a new set of OEM Replacement 2001 - 2002 tails. Not really confident in the L.E.D lights, as I've heard they could be finicky.

To tell you the truth, any one of those items would be a nice addition to your rig, but have you already upgraded your headlights??? I bought the 99+ lights, and haven't looked back!

Good luck with your decision, and make sure to post up pics of whatever you decide to buy!

New head unit perhaps?

 

[GX4SEVEND]

Already have an Alpine Deck with an Infinity Basslink to save space. Plus I just did the 99+ headlights with a 55 watt DDM HID kit.

id go for the sliders and a set of PIAA 580s, you can pick up a set of sliders from trail gear for like $180 or so, get the 67" ones, ive seen a few guys with them and they beat the heck outta them and they hold up just fine. if you get your lights off of ebay you can do both for under $400

 

[Elton H]

mine are 67'' ones

 

[the great him]

mine are just like trail gears just made by metal tech, they just used their measurements and made me some, and i think Nates NW4runner has the 67 TGs on his rig and i know he has used his and they hold up just fine for him!




after these pics where taken i drove forward dropping the entire weight of my loaded runner down on my sliders and it only put the slightest ding in the right slider

 

[Elton H]

my friend has a built 2nd with tg and ive seen him bounce them off rocks and they where fine

 

[jrm]

Wheels

with less BS and a bit wider?

 

[the great him]

for $3-400 you wont find any wheels that are wider with less back spacing that are alloy. besides wider and less backspacing will only cause more rubbing

 

[AddictedOffroad]

Call me about the sliders. 970-420-4198

 

[Edubsam]

Another option - scan gauge II

Unless you are set on the sliders...

 

[GX4SEVEND]

I will give you a call on the sliders.

Elton's for the price are really hard to beat.



I'm thinking sliders, LED tails and maybe vent visors?
