Introducing myself with pictures - Questions on Exhaust / Supercharging
Hello All -
I bought my 2008 4Runner back in November (traded my BMW 335xi for it) so that my GF would have something to drive for the winter.
Winter's over - so I got my 4Runner back to play with. First thing I did was yank the running boards off (6 bolts - the Sport Edition tubes are a joke and annoying in the rain and slush). Today I finally found some time and really spent some time cleaning the exterior and interior from a harsh winter of use - I popped over to Wally-world and got a cheapo hair dryer and some some fishing line and went to town on the badges. Surprised to find out that the V8 badge is a chintzy clip on affair that popped off quicker than a whore's panties.
Anyhow pics:

Must Do List:
- Before next winter I need a small lift (2" all around?) and BFG All Terrain T/A's (size?)
- New Aftermarket Radio with on the Fly GPS Navigation and Bluetooth Integration (OEM Radio is on the fritz with only 5k on the odo)
Wish List:
- Is there an aftermarket 4.7 V8 supercharger kit available?
- What is the preferred after market exhaust (manifolds and cat back options) for the 4Runners?
I think if I got the above things taken care of, I'd love this truck much much more. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to YT
I think URD was coming out with a centrifigual supercharger, don't know where it's at though. As for exhaust, I've heard the TRD system on an 08 and it sounded ok.
