Safari Rack with 4 Hella 500FF's mounted.
6000k HID low beams (10000k spare).
Silverstar Ultra fog lights.
Blackhoused headlights.
Debadged except tail gate Toyota logo (black).
1% tint back windows. 5% tint passenger/driver.
8" windshield tint strip. 50% tint windshield.

Interior

I've done a couple of the mods that CJ3Flyr had listed which are all relatively inexepensive and useful.

Swaybar Bushing Upgrade - Cost around $65 and helped with body roll when cornering
Aux Transmission Cooler - if you tow, always useful for prolonging tranny life - $50

LED Interior - price varies but around $65 - $100 depending on the route you take

My favorite mod that I've done was adding Remote Start (Viper model 5301) - I never thought I would use it as much as I do. Great for summer, winter, or in general - cost me $350 for the unit and installation
 
A cold air would be good. You should get one that is blocked off from the rest of the engine bay though. I think AFE makes one maybe. You should think about a train horn. They are a lot of fun and you can get a decent one on eBay for about $200. Maybe some more sound system stuff. Possibly some dynamat. Then the only other thing that I can think of is gauge cluster lights and replacing different bulbs for LEDs and putting some new lights in like under the front seats and under the dash in the front for the foot wells.

The bushing upgrade sounds pretty promising, did you notice a pretty big difference?

A train horn? lolololol. Are you running a CAI right now? I did the lights under the seats thing but took them out a few months back, LED swap is necessary you're right.

Floor protection maybe (floor liners)?

Cabelas makes some nice ones. Those would be solid for what I do, some rubber ones that you could just spray off when crap gets on them. Thanks
 
Some tuning could be next to get your truck running right. URD maf cali could give a better boost in power than the CAI with stock tuning. or you can go my way and get the APR X1.
 
How about a back up light? Hard to see out the back at night with all the tint. I also flash it when people let me in in traffic.

Or some alley lights? I have em on both sides and they come on together.(sorry no close up pix but you can see it)I use those suckers all the time.

I bet you could do it all for less than $50 including light, wire, connectors, switches.

EDIT: found a better pix of the side lights. Simple tractor light from Pep Boys and used a stock hole in the frame.

So what did you think of that mod? Did it really make a noticeable difference? Or just barely?

I wouldn't say it's a huge improvement but its noticeable. I was happy with the investment. I can tell the most when going around ramps to get on/off the interstate. It's an easy mod to perform with some positive results.

I think I might pull the trigger on the URD, heard some pretty good things about the bang for the buck too

I think you should... and then tell me what you think. :)_

I will be doing something like this as well. In order to do it right, I'd install another bung prior to the cat in order to get a true reading on a wide bandO2. Then take it to a shop with a dyno that has someone familiar with the URD.

I got some nice Goodyear Grey ones that were like 30 i think
 
Yea the reason I suggested that is because I just ordered one. You should check out hornblasters.com they have some nice kits. They are a pretty good time. Haha
 
Hey guys, I ended up putting some external reverse lights in. They bight up the place pretty well.

Next up is a CAI or the URD MAF sensor cali. Thoughts?

CAI: around 270-350

MAF cali: 250

Man, those side lights look pretty sweet. I did end up pulling the trigger on the reverse lights. I'll try to put up pictures later and then light output at night
