New Mods for the 4runner

I've been working on my 4runner, which is mainly used on road for daily driving. The mods so far have been oriented to that. I do use it during hunting season, so it needs to be somewhat capable off road. So, here's what I have so far. If you guys have any suggestions on where to go from here, I'd like to hear them.
20% tint on front windows (to match the rear)
Replaced stock JBL sub with a JL Audio 8w1v2 (using stock sub enclosure), then added a JL J2 250.1 amp to power it.
FJ Cruiser front springs combined with a 1/2" thick Toytec topout spacer (gained 1.5" of lift from this)
255/75/17 Hankook DynaPro ATM tires (raised it another 1.5")
Stock:


Sub installed:




Lift and tires added:

idk if you have though about this much... but i think it might help for hunting if you had a protective rear cargo matt or something of the sort... i know where we live... we just through the animals on top of the vehicle for travel... so maybe even some type of roof rack... looks awesome just to let you know!!!

Yea, one other thing I failed to mention is that I have WeatherTech floor liners for the front, and will soon have the for the second row and cargo area. I'm considering getting a cargo carrier, one of the ones that plugs into the receiver hitch. It'd work great for hauling stuff I'd rather not lift up to the roof rack or didn't want to put in the cargo area. Thanks!

the hitch rack is a good idea but they tend to hang pretty low, maybe you can weld an extension on the riser. you should also look into getting some body protection and making it removable. it will be worth it in the long run.
