What would you do with $2,000?

Took the boards off tonight. Quick pic after the wash.

The build has officially begun ladies and gentleman.

its amazing how much taking the boards off changes the look, the wheels look good cleaned up too- I can't imagine you'd have much trouble unloading them.

i like the rims but theyll def look better with bigger meat on them. look into bilstein 5100s for the front. itll let u knock out new shocks and lift with one stone.

Thanks. It's the "poor mans lift kit". I could go to the 265/75/16 OR go to a bigger tire on the 15's..

Seems the cheaper route would be to sell these rims/tires, and find a used set of 16's with tires. Sell these for a few hundred, spend around $600 on others, and overall have newer tires (cause these are shot), and bigger/nicer rims! A win win!
 
New tires probably around 600- 700 dollars assuming they are 150 each lol
id buy stock rims off someone from ebay or craigslist that look nice i like my stock rims there 99 4runner sport edition ones i think they look nice

that would probably only cost 200 or less since they are stock and assuming used

then i would get a sound system i have a friend with alpine type R speakers components in the front and speakers in the back he got them on ebay for about 350 total and they sound real nice retail is probably closer to 600. then you need an amplifier but first if you want a sub or not matters if you do id go with the polk audio MM series 12inch sub you can get it off ebay for pretty good deal like 100-150 then you need the amp if your getting a sub you need a nice one or 2 okay ones to power all the speakers and sub and the amp is most expensive around 350 for one nice one or 2 okay ones. so that is 350+350+150+200+700= 1750 and then 250 for your smaller details you wanted to do.

Thats what i would do
 
Just an FYI, there's a button next to the quote button that allows you to quote multiple posts in one reply. Just thought you'd like to know. Might save some time and effort. :driving:

Maintenance, maintenance and maintenance. Shocks, springs, bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, timing belt, water pump, plugs, wires, 02 sensor. After that you should still have money left over for some Toyota wheels and tires. (assuming you do the wrenching)

Thanks, I was just about to ask a maintenance question.. now I need a garage and not a parking garage so I can do this stuff! :rant:

I'm going to do my research since i've got 141k miles and maintenance is definitely most important.

Lol. No sweat off my back. Just figured it would cut out a few steps for ya!

Look at me now, i'm gettin paper
