what should i do to my runner...

Roommates Runner (also an `01 2wd Limited, possibly same color, but with the uglier split-3 spoke wheels) is getting front tint and LED taillights for x-mass. Maybe a hitch if he can score an OEM unit cheap somewheres...
My BMW (`03 330i ZHP) is getting re-tinted and a new fog light (I busted one with a cone at auto-x)...
The Lexus we share (`98 ES300) is getting tint and I just did the brake job yesterday as it really couldnt wait until x-mass and it was warm outside...
I guess it depends on what you need. Do you track in a lot of dirt? Get some all-weather floor mats. Not some cheap ones at wallie world, some nice weather tech catch-all's. If your an audiophile check into getting some new speakers or a sub/amp. If your into bling, get some wheels. If your into the off-road "look" then lift your 2wd and/or get a push/headlight cover bar/guard up front and taillight guards in the back...
I, personally, think 4Runners look pretty slick stock, especially Limited models with the 5-spoke wheels. All I would personally do to your truck is tint the front windows, remove all of those stickers from the back and possibly get a less busy tag with a plain black tagframe. I think stickers and busy tags/tag frames draw the eye to themselves and not the overall truck. Lastly, I would detail it myself or get it detailed, however, if you live on/off a dirt road, that would make sense for the dirtyness...

IMO since you have a 2wd 4runner I would upgrade your audio. Once you get it installed you get instant use out of it. With a brushguard once you put it on you'll look at it in the driveway for two or three months and it'll blend right in. With new audio you'll get aural pleasure the entire time you drive. If ya get a new head unit try to get one with an auxiliary input so you can plug in your ipod.

yea i'm gonna remove my stickers after i get my christmas presents installed on my 4runner and a good washing.
ok here are the 3 choices for the back, i need to know soon as my g/f will have to order these in about a week.
the editing is bad but its a general idea. so if you HAD to pick ONE of the CHOICES, which would it be.
taillight guards
clear tails
or carbon fiber tails

Not sure your situation but personally I would suggest rather then accessorizing it if you still owe financially on it I would put the money towards that if its free and clear Start looking at a better set of tires with some traction. BG and TL are a wast of time. Perhaps a navigation unit might better suit you.

Link to some LEDs. They have a pic of them also. I haven't seen them in person, I just know Jason carries quality stuff.
