Having gone 250k, Aug 2016 was the time to replace the original clutch & get the driver's seat rebuilt/stuffed. Front & back Weathertech liners. '05 Tundra front disc brake swap. Full length Rocky Mountain Rack with 40" lightbar, Alternating strobe rear dust lights. I used a warm weekend in March 2022 to finally install my brand new from old stock 2000 4Runner driver's seat. $800 directly from the factory in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.
    In my experience there are two ways to go about this. We all want to do, whatever it is, right the 1st time. If you have no budgetary restraints go with Rigid Industries. Their lights are so superbly engineered I'll probably never have to replace them. The only problem for me is that I can only afford their Duallys. They are kick ass, I love my Duallys, they give me my own 300' slice of 6000K daylight & light up every reflector for a mile ahead of me.
    If your budget is restrained, I'd go with Lifetime LED Lights. I bought my H4/9003 headlamps from them after tiring of not being able to see my Sylvania Silverstar 4300K after turning my Duallys off. Their tech support is very good & they honor their warranty. The cost of their light bars don't make you wince when you see the price tag. I'm more than likely going to get future light bars from LLL, as I can't justify the huge cost of Rigids for something that will get so little use.

    Rigid, or BajaDesigns. Both produce a great throw pattern, stand by their product, and truly output what advertised. It's going to cost quite a bit more, but they are well worth it, IMO.
