What would u do w/ $1000 bucks?

Elkaholic · 01-09-2007, 05:19 PM

So hopefully with some luck I should be gettin some money from an Overseas trip and should be able to throw at least 1 grand towards the truck. I just thought Id ask for opinions on what you guys would do either suspension or performance. I just have a cat-back and intake. So, what would YOU do with $1000 to put into your rig?

sliders and lockers

nick-m · 01-09-2007, 05:33 PM

I'd do suspension before I touched anything else.

Elton · 01-09-2007, 05:33 PM

sliders wheels and tires new shocks and a small spring lift

YotaFun · 01-09-2007, 05:38 PM

Lockers, Slight lift, and Tires

deermeat · 01-09-2007, 05:40 PM

what are you wanting to do with the truck mud, rock, show?

Elkaholic · 01-09-2007, 05:48 PM

Well I have a locker -OEM, just got some new A/Ts, I dont get off road as much as Id like but just want to do some good wheelin. And of course I want it to look good. SO I like your ideas with the sliders, and def. some lift.

Does just a good set of coil-overs help with that at all.

SC4Runner · 01-09-2007, 05:50 PM

Coilovers are too much money. There are cheaper ways to lift it suspension wise.

But, Id go iwth the lift and tires with the $1000

all_terrain17 · 01-09-2007, 05:53 PM

Well if ya just got new tires and don't want to get rid of them anytime soon then there's no point in lifting right now, and you already have a locker.

Like everyone else said go with some armor in the form of sliders and bumpers.

91TPU · 01-09-2007, 05:56 PM

id say a nice lift kit would be in order. if not that i would say sliders and some odds and ends. if not that i would say a front bumper, maybe arb, or tjm

give to me

maybe buy a "trail rig" it would be start....

the question is:
do you wheel it ?

nc994run · 01-09-2007, 05:59 PM

I would go with sliders and a lift especially if you have new tires and the e-locker

Ohh gosh Id love too but I dont have the time or place to build one. Unfortunatley I dont go too often. I cant seem to find the good places. Anyone around here wanna pull me along on the trails with them sometime?

Ya I def. want to lift so once I do get out there...and u say coilovers are too much $$$ are you saying...spacers, blocks, aal, shackles, shocks then?

CyMoN · 01-09-2007, 06:40 PM

sliders and a nice brush guard and some lights
if you do any out of city driving at night on a regular basis then spot driving lights are great

86toyotakid · 01-09-2007, 07:07 PM

seanz0rz · 01-09-2007, 07:11 PM

Don't you mean an ARB with 4 100 watt lights and a 9K winch?

Just kidding. I suggest a mild lift and some armor.

99SR5 · 01-09-2007, 07:20 PM

i'd go for a small lift and bumper

CLEANSR5 · 01-09-2007, 07:39 PM

yea, i'd go with some armor

d0ubledown · 01-09-2007, 08:31 PM

trailgear sliders are $145. that leaves you just over 8 bills for a decent suspension lift. go with the tundra setup up front, and maybe some AAL's out back. I take it your taco is the TRD flavour? then you should already have some decent tires on there...

sliders & oem lift+aal's.

profuse007 · 01-09-2007, 08:39 PM

id get some 16" trd special edition wheels and tires.

Elkaholic · 01-09-2007, 08:49 PM

hey thanks for the replies. Its just kinda nice to see what others would do. And gave me some new ideas. Im not sure that Im going to need a whole lot of armor right now, but definaley goin for some lift, and prob some rims but we will see. thanks for your ideas at least.
