Hi all -

Just purchased a brand new VB FJ today. Don't want to go too crazy with the mods as this is my 2nd car, and I already feel guilty for splurging on a non-necessity.

So, my question is this - given the choice of ONLY one of these scenarios, which would you choose?

1) Remove OEM roof rack and replace with Gobi Stealth Rack, 4 PIAAs up front, 2 in back, and add Gobi ladder

or

2) Add light bar to OEM roof rack, add 4 PIAAs up front, 2 in back, replace stock tires with 285/70/17s (Pirelli Scorp. ATRs, BFG ATs, or similar)

I'm interested to read your opinions!

Keep the stock rack as you got some money into it. Add the PIAA's and I got the 285/70/17 Bridgestone Revo's. If you check many sources, this is a great all around tire and especially in the rain and snow. It is extremely quiet and goes at highway speed very well. It does not look as aggresive as others but performance is great. If you want the looks, go with another but if you want overall performance this is it. My 2 cents !

I hear Allpro is making a light/wind deflector for much less than what Toyota is gonna sell theirs for. They don't have any pics on their site yet, but you can check back to see them. They've posted pics on other boards already.

I'd stick with the stock rack, and add lights to it. The other racks are quite pricy. They look cool, and function better, but I'd rather spend the money on other stuff.
