ok ive realized that my subwoofer/sound system isnt as cool as it used to be. and ive found that i would rather spend my money on other things. im thinking of selling my 2 12" kicker subs in the box and the amp and the wiring kit...i should get around 500 dollars. somewhere in that ballpark. my poll comes from what i should do with the money (if i get 500). what do you guys think?

Save a few extra after what you sell and get an ARB or TJM bumper!

man your only a senior in HIGHSCHOOL and you have all that???sheesh luckeeeeeeeee. Id say go with the locker or tjm. where can u get a locker for 250 installed? Is it a lunchbox?

Now that you mentioned it Matt, I think I would change my vote for a locker since it has more practical use unless you already have a winch then a bumper would be a good bet.

Edit: what's a TMC?

Definitly go with a locker. What about a front locker with the extra money? I always wanted a TJM until I found a trail that I wasn't able to do, unless I had lockers.

im pretty sure its something to do with the s/c....fuel mod type thinger. LOL

FilthyRich

fuel mods or sell the s/c

bumper, hi lift, and a winch.....

I always go for function first, which means bumper or locker. Where you do wheeling, what do you need more - protection or traction? Even so, I say get a locker. Guts are what make these things fun.

Plus, you get the pleasure of getting places that ding up your stock bumper, and then you will appreciate that upgrade more. Speaking from experience.

Rear locker. More practical if you don't have a winch to put in the TJM right away anyway.

jimbo74

rear locker (around 250 installed), keep rest saved for tjm

You got the shackle hanger? Right? How does just one look?

its kind of like lance armstrong, only hanging down on one side, but really staying in there...i had a buddy of mine around when i was putting it on (jeep loser) and he was like, wow i need one of those, and i said "buy a toyota and then maybe you can get one"...looks great, have yet to test it out, due to a recent tire problem, but im sure itll be fine.

i take the runner out on trails twice a month at most. a rear locker seems like the most sensible thing to do. i got quoted from a place in charlotte called "carolina rock shop" for a lock-rite for $250 installed.

i dont have a winch, and as weird as it sounds...i hope i never have to use one (i dont wana go that "hardcore" with the runner yet, seeing as how i dont have enough other things done). the tjm's look great in my opinion, and thats what i would get if i were to get a front bumper. however i think i would enjoy the locker 100x more, because i would get less stuck.

as for fuel mods...yes ive read gadgets site many times, and i know these are a must. however i did just get a tmc 1.1 from someone here on the board, and i think that will help out some. i dont feel like dumping 1000 just to get the supercharger running at peak performance when the thing only costed 1800. after talking with bamachem, he was in my shoes a while back, and opted for the selling of the s/c...i think im going to keep it around, and do a few fuel mods so that the s/c can run well without possibly damaging anything.

thanks for any input on this crucial decision.

yes im only a senior and highschool, ive just gotten lucky....my parents didnt really have the money to buy this one, but they decided to give in. my sister wasnt happy (shes a senior at wake forest...thats where all her money is (around 30k a year) she has an old honda that has been better days).

keep the votes coming!

...ive found a tjm for sale 650 in very good condition. is everyone still thinking locker? i am...however i can save a lot of money by getting the tjm now...because it is something i plan to get SOMETIME, and maybe this is the right time.

4x4runnerGIrL

get the tjm.
you wont regret it.
it has saved me from so much damage.
and 650 is a really good deal for one.
