What should I buy?

I am getting a 4,500 dollar tax return and Need some things for my 87 runner.I am getting a fully rebuilt engine with a bigger cam and a worked over head,used later model 5 speed and transfer case.I also want to change the color of my interior.I don't do major off roading but do take the family out quite a bit.What else should I getfor it?I was thinking some sliders,bumpers,maybe a soft top.

if you know what you're doing, you can build a nice engine for around $1000

a good engine(used), tranny and transfer case shouldn't run you more than $1000 though.

so are you doing a full rebuild or jsut the top end?

also, he said a new engine.. a new engine and a rebuilt engine are not the same.. the rebuilt is way cheaper than a new engine
