Withdrawls

OK, so I have to finish hooking up all the wiring from my front lights to switches and hook up the relays to my roof top lights, and everything lighting wise will be complete.

So it happens that I'm having mod withdrawals. I know I have modding withdrawals when I start trolling all the subtopics on the FJ forums! I've done most of the major modifications that I've dreamed about since initially purchasing the vehicle, but here's a list of things I want to do but also want to put off due to necessity, time, or funds.

  1. Steel rims (currently hard to find for reasonable price, but this will make the rig look more utilitarian.
  2. Skids, current OEM's are scratched up but not off-roading too often at this time, problem is how much protection do I need? Looking at BudBuilt skids and perhaps the set without gas tank protection.
  3. move up to adjustable coil overs like ICON VD's
  4. Snorkel, don't really need this and don't know if it would actually add to the look, but would be a great alternative to a CAI
  5. Video Monitors on both front headrests: this would definitely get approval from the kids
  6. rear bumper- would be extra protection from people tail gating me.
  7. rear view camera?
All in all, any of the above would just be a luxury, like every other mod I've done! I'll ride on my current suspension for the time being. won't stress out on getting steel rims since the current ones will do. Skids only if I do more hard core off-roading, Snorkel is just too much, so will probably look into the video monitors vs the rear view camera for the next mod.
