New 4Runner in my driveway...Newbie here!!

[paulnohio]

Just to let everyone know, I have a beautiful black 06' Sport 4X4 V8 sitting in my driveway that I purchased today. It has JBL, DRL, and a few minor extras. It is waxed and very pretty (which I am sure will never look this clean again). It drives so much better than the competition and seems very refined. I could not be happier as a new owner and member of this seemingly great forum.

Well, so far I have added a exhaust tip by valor, tint (tomorrow), fist aid kit, and emergency road kit. I am unsure of what to do next. I am thinking about seatshield seatcovers (or possibly adding leather) to my seats, all weather mats, Bridgestone Revos and some other things. I would really like to get my hands on the "vvt-i" badge to put on it but I dont know where to buy it. Maybe a few other things. What do you recommend?
BTW, I love this vehicle. It is so awesome. I forgot to mention that tomorrow I plan to put lubrication/electrical tape on my rear seat latches to stop the creaking noise. But, there is not one thing I dont like about this vehicle....its just so awesome.

well sense you got the 4x4, i would hope that you would take it out to the woods, but knowing that 90% of SUV owners never take their vehicle offroad. if you dont plan on taking it offroad much, ive seen some really good looking 4th gen's with larger wheels and tires, makes the truck look a little bit beefier. so how do you plan to use your brand new truck? woods, street? both?

I drive 90% on the street, but do go off road occassionally. I love to fish, hunt, camp, etc.. And, seeing as how these 4Runners can climb a tree, I am sure I will do some offroading as well. The winters get bad here too, so the 4X4 will come in handy. Right now though, I have the new car fever and will baby my Runner until I get it modified the way I want and looking the way I want. Dang, I really love my new baby....there isnt 1 thing I dont like about it. I can definately tell that it is Japanese built. What about you? You off-road much?

Hey, Welcome and congratulation on your new truck.
Just a question, how much you paid for tinting?
I want to do this but like to know how much is reasonable.

$60 for the front two windows with lifetime guarantee. I wonder what % tint comes from the factory on the 4Runners? I would like to match the front perfectly.

Hitman, sorry for no pics yet. But, I want to get my girl fully dressed with mods before I post pics. It would upset her tremendously if I didnt. She is a beauty without a doubt though!

The factory tint is about 20%. I tinted the two front window with a true gray 20% and I like the results. Just make sure it is legal in your state. Anyways, welcome aboard!

Factory tint is around 20%. So, if you do black 20% on the front two you should be good to go...Congrats. I saw a Shadow Mica Sport last night. It was beautiful...
