You were gifted $1,000 to spend on your 4R, what’s the first thing you buy?

You have a stock SR5 Prem 4WD. Brand new everything.

What’s the first modification(s)/add-on you spend on? Why?

Tires (dunlops are okay but you can do way better and more than likely be able to sell the stock dunlops for a good price while they're new), any left over, seat covers (obviously to protect your seats), then floor liners (to protect your carpet/floor). YMMV :)

And with the remaining $500, I'd buy a supercharger.

:iagree:
 
Tires.

I did skid plates, full set, as #2, but if I were to do it all over again, it would be suspension #2 and skids #3. Note that I say suspension and not lift (mine is just 1.3.1).

The stock tires cannot handle any half-serious terrain let alone the desert. I know a guy who got stuck in a place where no Subaru would have been--or 4R on any AT tires. And a journalist on stock tires got stuck in a couple inches of snow with the Subarus driving by a few years ago. Plus punctures, etc.

You don't want to drive over rocks big enough to need aftermarket skids on stock tires. And the small, fist-sized rocks over which we all drive in the desert are nasty.
 
Tires. Because the stock ones don't match the vehicle if you use it as intended. Next would be a real skid plate. The stock is pretty thin and I use mine.

I saw this deal at Costco couple days ago, but its not shown on their online store? Is it worth buying tires from Costco? (I’m a new member)

I don’t off-road much, so off-road tires would wear down on mostly pavement. Rather keep the OEM tires on for daily driving, and have another set of wheels with off-road tires to swap on for planned trips.
 
With majority stating tires, what made you go with full skid plates?

Mine came from the dealer (gently used, low miles) with 285 AT tires and a few other accessories
