Well, the good news is my bonus came in! Bad news is out of the 4k, I need to save most of it for a big vacation next year. If you were to buy something for your ride, what would you do with the money?
I'm at 128k miles on the factory XREAS, so part of me is leaning towards 5100's and 1.5" or so lift...Sure could have used some mud tires last weekend! My A/T's and lack of ground clearance are not too good in the mud. Suggestions? What would you do w/ $1,000 to improve your ride?

I'd bet all of it on the Raiders against the Broncos and double my money. :D
THEN, i would have some breathing room (Ultimate Toytec suspension and M/T tires).
 
Oh,and it's for a V8. I've thought about CAI, but just not sure there's much/any of a MPG gain. I tried a Magnaflow, but it was waaayyy louder than I wanted. Not sure about TRD? I've also heard that a CAI can "mellow" out an aftermarket exhaust. Not sure. Anyway, I'm leaning more towards lift/tires, just not sure what kind of money I'll get into and how much worse my MPG will be (as if it can get any worse). I have some old style BFG m/t's located for $550 out the door in 255/75/17.
 
255/75/17 Goodyear Silent Armors, and 5100s with FJ springs (guess you'd be on your own for the install with that kind of money though...)
 
I have FJ springs on the rear and LOVE them. I have the front springs, but never installed them. Without me looking it up, what kind of life will I get with the 5100/FJ spring combo? Seems like I remember 3/4" or so w/ just the FJ springs? I like your thinking....with the springs I already have and the Xreas getting old I'm sure...may be a good time to get the 5100's!
