$360 what to do? what to do?

I recently dug up about $360 or so what mods should i do?
im thinking of buying some used aisin hubs from a junkyard and fitting them to my 4runner, but that should leave me with about $310 so

any ideas for mods? so far all i've done is remove the running boards an the bug shield.

Get a magnaflow exhaust. That'll give you power gain for around $100.
Then you can do the Deckplate mod for about $6.
Hmm... do you offroad much? Or this this primarily an on road truck? Give us details so we can let you know what types of mods to do.

those already look to be manual hubs. are they? tell us what you want from your rig. is it mainly a daily driver? do you just go on trail runs or rock crawl, mud, ? I say get a nice set of offroad lights, tow strap, recovery points, and beef up the air intake system.

its my daily driver, but i enjoy doing trail runs and take it offroad in the weekends. and these front hubs are add, so to change to manuel all i need are the aisin hubs right? just unbolt the add and bolt on the aisins?
magna flow, Actually i think i might need to replace the whole exaust system its kind of rusty, no homes yet but rusty. hope this helps.

Since you said you like to wheel it.

Then first would be a high lift jack

Tow strap

some kind of tool kit

Rock Sliders.


Nothing worse than undue body damage or being stuck, and not being able to get unstuck!
Take care,
Richard

If all you got is $360 to mod with then save yourself the disappointment and just send me the money.

LOL...............I forgot to add another thing. The high lift adapter that middarabbit sells is another good one to add to that list.

OFFTOPIC HIGHJACKING MODE ON:
Yeah it got sickening watching people piss their money away when I worked for one. Every day, the same people tossing bills on the table and walking out like they just got screwed up the ying yang but in a bad way. I am glad to be out of the casino industry.
BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM:

Keep an eye on the for sale ads here and other forums for used 31s on rims and buy used. If you buy brand new 31s to fit under your factory height rig you will regret it when you go to lift it in the future being you then wasted the money on 31s that you cant sell for what you paid. I went through this, bought 31s then 33s then 35s. majorly wasted money on tires.
