Which should i do next?(2 choices) suggestions welcome!

I have a 97 3rz runner.

What i have done, front bumper, sliders, and arb rear.

The next step i have 2 things i either want to do.
Supercharge or Lift, manual hubs and winch.

What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Chris

hmmm the supercharger is going to be the most expensive, and i personally dont think you should need it. i would go with the lift.

I think he means do:
1) the supercharger or
2) lift, manual hubs, and winch

if I understand correctly. I would go with option 2 personally, seems to have more 4wheelin advantage than a supercharger

#2! although you are getting a heck of a deal on the S/C...

but with the lift come bigger tires too so throw that expense in there too

Out of your list: lift & winch will get you the most advantage offroad.

Its nice to have the S/C, but there have been several good points already made.
-S/C is expensive
-If you buy the S/C, you need to get fuel mods (more $$)
-Premium gas is expensive (Esp.if its your DD)
*You do have a 5 speed, so you wouldn't have to do a VB upgrade (saves you $1K)

I don't know what kind of deal you are getting on the S/C, but if its a one time thing at a great price by all means do it. If not, I would go with the lift because it'll be aesthetically pleasing (you and others will actually see the $$ you put into it) and it will give you a better time wheeling, which it seems like you like to do. My vote is for #2.

For the charger i believe i can get it for roughly 1800-2000.
with 3 pulleys, 5th injector, and all the piggyback computers.

All i would run is 3-5psi stock with no fuel mods.

It is my DD, and i need it to be as reliable as possible, which kind of draws me away from charger. I only have 105k miles. So charger may wait until i graduate, heck by then i might just swap out the 3rz when i graduate, Diesel
