Here are a couple of pics of the ride. Had to add some "Hello Kitty" seat covers... for my daughter. It definitely needs the Tundra brake upgrade (231mm). It needs a cold air intake, and a cat-back. I even found some leather seats for it for around $250 for the front/rear. It has a factory 3 disc CD changer/cassette player. It has the 3.4 V6/auto tranny. One thing I am curios to know is... did they come factory with a "compass/temp" indicator on the rear view mirror?? Because this one has one, and the visors hit it when folded down. Oh, it is a 4x4 "Highlander" edition I'm guessing. It's not "badged" anywhere that says that. But it does look like the others that I've seen that are called "Highlander" editions.
Pics... finally

The cold air would be for "more power"!! lol
I really would like to get a TRD supercharger for it though. I guess I'm used to the power of our Expedition... I would really like to be able to get more hp out of it, and better fuel mileage (I know.. hard to do one without losing the other).
But I really would like to do is level the thing out. It has the sag in the rear. I would like to put a small lift on it. To give it that "look". She won't be offroading for sure, but she does like a "lifted rig".
I did feel the "vibration" in the braking today when I drove it today. So, as soon as I can find the parts, I need to do the "Tundra brake upgrade". I'm not a mechanic, but I feel I'm pretty mechanically inclined. Dad's got a body shop, so I can do any work over there. I've always done any work on my own vehicles.

Nah, none of the 3rd gens had those in the mirrors. Maybe aftermarket ones.
Oh, ok. I didn't think it looked factory "Toyota". Plus, the visors hit it when folded down. I like the compass, temp in the mirror. :bigok:
Tomorrow I gotta take apart the clock and see what's wrong with it. It works when you push in on it. :shrug:

If you're gonna supercharge it, then skip the cold air intake. If not though, PM me because I have a K&N FIPK cold air intake for sale.

Unfortunately there isnt much power to be had with these motors. There just plain heavy and slow.

Yeah, if you're comparing them to a sports car... But with the supercharger and fuel mods I think they're right up there with anything else on the road in the performance dept. (Talking strictly SUV's here)
KellyJ is correct about the rear view mirror, someone added that on.
Nice ride overall, and congrats on the purchase. Can we get some pictures of the SWEET Hello Kitty seat covers?
