Window tint, then bug deflector, then TRD skid plate.
What was your first mod/alteration after buying your 4R?

Interesting, I’ll have to watch for that. I’ve not had any issues yet and they are holding up well. After years of Weathertechs I like these because they are softer (quieter) and don’t show dirt or salt like the others. I’m pretty anal about my vehicle and these look much cleaner. I can hit with a microfiber and a little Adams detail spray any they look brand new. Never could keep my others that clean without removing regularly and scrubbing down.
Yeah the bottom half of the plastic nut broke on mine. Don't get me wrong, they still work fine but it is kind of annoying.
I would also agree that the Maxpiders have a nicer look to them.

my first "real" mod was modifying the FJ shift knob to fit the 4Runner. got the idea while checking out a TT FJ in the dealership showroom when i was signing papers on my new Trail. i never liked the OE knob and when i sat in the FJ i was like, "this would be perfect."

Thanks for the replies all.
I've read all the posts and it's amazing how some of you start slow and others immediately started swapping out suspension etc...
I'm a slow start kind of guy and haven't had my 4R a month yet. I think first will be blacking out the emblems with the overlay kit. Is there a preferred place to buy this? I've seen the kits on ebay from roughly 75 all the way up to $140...
Maybe some interior LED's after that. I'm not really interested in adding custom paint but would like to do Rausch Creek if i can find time this summer. Hope to skip the paint customization though haha
then maybe wheels and grille. Mine is white and my kids and I love the stormtrooper look.

I don't plan to do anything to the suspension, one of the main reasons I bought a brand new truck, can't lift it because it needs to still fit in the garage. I have however spent WAY too much, and way more than I intended to spend on accessories for this truck in the last 6 or so months lol

No 4runner yet, but....
Purchased Hefty Fab sliders with treads.
Have an Odyssey 34R battery ready to go.
Dash cam on the way.
Whelen emergency lights for 360 degree viz.
Firestik for the CB and a Comet HAM antennas.
Gobi Ladder
Seat heaters
Things to be purchased soon:
Roof Rack (Gobi, OGS, maybe Baja or SSO)
CBI front bumper OR Demello aluminum front bumper.
RCI aluminum skids
Not sure about the rear bumper. Really wanted to throw a spare tire mounted bike rack on there that I could keep on all the time.
And suspension...idk. Inch or two over stock.
