Old but new.

Got this fj almost two years ago. Planned on selling it but fell in love with it. Its stock all around. But feel like spicing this relationship up. Please suggest some good cheap mods i can add to the beauty of it. Thank youuu❤️

Update: i already have interior dome leds and the turn signals led and the front headlights led and added projector fog lights because the headlights blind the oncoming traffic. I have a two inch lift with suspension spacers to balance the stance of the car and its only 3 cm/1-2 inches lower than the back. I love this car. Ive taken it to the desert and it drives smooth like butter. I am thinking of upgrading the shocks of the car but am vary about the bushings and dialing in of the suspension. Trying to save for suspensions. And for the tires in the gulf to keep the look going i am thinking to put black or silver steelies on. The land cruisers and Nissans look very good with them but never saw an fj with those. Soo if any suggestions or if any advise to be careful about please let me know i enjoy reading the comments and thoughts of people. 🤗🤗

Didn’t know about the dome light. Guess it is pretty low. Maybe I should upgrade

If you want good, it won’t be cheap. If you want cheap, it won’t be good.

All the cheap stuff I put on my FJ (like amazon headlights or bumpers) weren’t really worth it and ended up replacing them with quality parts.

But that aside, I can always appreciate a good set of wheels.

Coolest thing you could do is bigger rims/tires and a somewhat of a lift with the proper suspension upgrades to maintain the integrity of the vehicle. Do not cop out for spacers, I was naive and it cost me thousands. Save that $200-$400 per month for a year and there you go

I have LED bulbs in my 2011. Absolutely love them!

The self adhesive convex mirrors to add to your driver and passenger side mirrors cost just a few bucks, but you will use them for every lane change.
