what's your summer mod list?

Now that spring is starting to move in (at least for those of us with actual seasons), it's time to start modding again. What's everyone hoping to get done this summer?

I've got 3 big things I want to get done this summer, but with the new bike and the new house, I'm not sure how thin the wallet is going to be... Here's my list, in order of priority -

New tires
My current tires are about expired, so some form of new tires is a definite. I'd like to go with 33s if I can scrape together the cash for upper a-arms and a body lift in order to clear the tires. If I go with 33s, I'll go with the Firestone Destination MTs. If not, I'll stick with 32s and probably go with Dueler MTs.

Onboard Air
Currently considering the Quick Air 3, a Roger Brown 4air system, and a small craftsman air tank.

Winch
Warn HS9500 would be great, but it's pricey. The 8000 is probably more realistic.

that is a nice list.

I have a few things for my 03 tacoma waiting to be installed.

1) my URD fuel kit. my charger needs to wake up!

2) 6inch fabtech lift with my 33 BFG muds

3) stubbs sliders that are just waiting to find a new home on my truck

4) new exhuast(thinking of the 40 or 50 series flow with 2.5 pipe

5) rhino or line-X my bed

6) some type of front protection(maybe a custom bar set up or a safari bar to match my stubbs sliders)

7) deckplate mod and gray wire mod

8) install my stero system

I think that is all i will do this summer but i am sure more will follow down the road! red

I that's good list I would buy the extreme air compressor instead of the quick air 3 though.

1. Install my lock right
2. Install Ball Joint spacers
3. Install 1000 watt AC inverter
4. buy new front shocks
5. Order 5.29 gearing and install it
6. Buy a winch probably Warn M8000 or the Milemarker 12,000 lb
7. build custom rear bumper
8. build rock sliders
9. Fix various dents and dings and rust

That's my list for now.

My list:
- I want 33's (maybe Revos) mounted on alloys (either on my Toyota OEM or on some MT classic II's - but, I would have to sell 32" MT/R's mounted on rockcrawlers to offset cost of new rims ) Since there is currently a $50 rebate available for Revos from Tirerack, they may be coming sooner than later. Still undecided about this.
- Hayden tranny cooler
- Seat covers
- Warn 8000 winch
- retrofit e-locker
- custom rear hitch/bumper for better departure angle
- A house for me and a garage for the 4Runner. Donations will be accepted.

Why is that? I'm not familiar with the Extreme Air, but the Quick Air specs are pretty nice.
