It all depends on how you are going to use your rig. My favs. are:
Skid plates
Sliders
Co2
As soon as I have a winch I'm sure it will make my list as well.
Welcome to the forum!:cheers:

 

Without a doubt--The accessory in the very 1st pic...

fjcruiserforums.com/forums/off-topic-discussion/10091-pitbabes-probably-nsfw.html

Always been my favorite

 

Naughty boy. :lol: :lol: (But, very nice "accessory." :bigthumb

 

I am a newbie so this is just a start:
Tow strap
48" Hi-Lift jack
Bracket to mount to the Hi-Lift jack to the roof cargo rack
Rock Sliders

Try not to think about the FJ for the next couple of weeks then the wait will not be so painful. :bigthumb:

 

#2 - The Toyota plastic hood guard/reflector. Does it help move airflow and divert rocks from hitting the windshield?

Will divert 40% of butterflies.
Will not diver rocks.

 

By Gear shift. Do you mean the "short shifter? I have the URD and its great! Fraction of the cost as the TRD.

That was the first thing I did.

Then.... Sliders, Lift, Skids, Bumper, Winch, wheels, tires, rack, CO2, it actually never really stops......

X2 only I have the TRD one and really like. I have also heard that either trdpart4u or sparkstoyota has a really good deal on it right now as well. I have heard good things about the URD one too but have never personally used it.
Either way you go it will be a HUGE improvement over the stock throw.

 

My URD short shifter comes in tomorrow...first thing i've added besides stereo stuff...besides that i'd say a must have accessory is always a decent pair of heels

 

TRD quick shifter was definitely one of the valuable mods for me. Whole new driving experience. I would recommend TRD shift knobs too..

 

My first real mod was a set of sliders and they have definitely paid for themselves already.

 

My favorite mod: ARB Safari Snorkel

PS: Can even be useful in urban areas....

 

My first must have mods were front and rear bumpers for protection and to get rid of all that ugly plastic.

 

jetfan, I want to see that metal tech bumper in person.:bigthumb: Only seen pics so far, but definitely my favorite bumper.

 

It looks even better in person. It is my favorite front bumper and it is the lightest too.

 

Must have???? That would be full windshield damage coverage on my insurance. This alone has saved me a couple grand in repairs in the past 3yrs.

2nd would be my budbuilt skids... I can't even calculate the damage it has prevented.

3rd... backup camera. Another major damage saving device.

 

Just for starters:

-Heated leather seats

-BF Goodrich ATs

Marius :wave:

 

Start small by doing all the "hacks". Chime kill is a must!

Steel front bumper
different stereo and speakers
larger inverter
exhaust/ intake
window shade/ deflectors

just for starters...

 

Thanks for all the ideas guys.. It looks like I could go crazy with upgrades and mods! I think the TT is coming with rock rails, but I think skid plates would be great. No idea how much off roading I'll be doing though.

I didn't know it had a subwoofer. I'll probably remove and sell that off. I wish it had the backup radar though.

Again, thanks for all the ideas.

 

Not really being a hard core wheeler, most of my favorite mods revolve around storage. I love my Tuffy center console and my MPAC rear door storage set up. I also am glad I filled in the gapping hole in the stock roof rack with the BajaRack basket insert. Yep, its all about being able to tote stuff for me!

 

Cameras in front wheel wells to help spotting--would be lots of help on more difficult trails:bigthumb:.

 

1. Keys
2. Gas
3. Open road.
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::clap::cheers:

 

Thats it right there.

 

toyota hood protector
ventshades
aeroflow headlight guards
seat covers

 

Powertank
In track smoked window Vent Shades
sliderz
lift
HD bumper
winch
penthouse
CB/ham setup
good tunes system
dual batteries
cargobox for tools, ect
snorkel

 

My advice (and I'm sure many would agree) is don't do a thing until you've spent a couple months on this forum. Better to mod once then to redo is 6 months later...:bigthumb:

 

Roger that!

 

Good advice.

 

good Lift and tires will make a huge difference in driveability.
Scuba mod, just in case.
