FJ Cruisers of Northern California

What to do next?????

OK... I have a dilemma. I want to beg for a new Xmas gift but I am totally indecisive because I think all of us who modify our cars generally want more than we can afford. My question is, what should I be asking for next? Here is what I have done to my TRD FJ so far:

Stealth CB Install
CO2 tank mount
2nd cigarrette lighter
Gobi Rack
4 Piaa Lights up front
2 Lights in back on rack
3" OME lift
Mickey Thompson MTZ 305/75/16
Mickey Thompson wheels
High lift, axe, and shovel mounts
Seat covers

Here is my wish list so far, that I'm trying to narrow down:
Front Bumper (Demello, Metal Tech, or All Pro...I cannot decide but leaning towards Demello)
Full skidplate set (Ricochet)
New stereo with GPS & DVD (For long holiday drives)
M-pac rack for rear door
Rear bumper (Have no idea how I'll ever decide on one)
Rooftop Tent
Something I'm not thinking of????

Oooohhh! BLENDER!!!! I didn't even think about that... I wonder if the rear power outlet has enough juice by itself to run one of those margarita makers...????

I wish :-) I'd love to see the price come down to reality...

I have the same setup/problem. I talked to a guy at a stereo shop, there is a device called in-line preamp or something like that. Its like 30 bucks and seems like a simple install. I'm probably gonna try it.

Hey for 30 bucks it might be worth it! I'm in for a lot of road time over the holidays, so it might be nice to actually hear the sat radio at highway speeds :-) Did you talk to someone locally? I know I've read that the sound quality is good through the pioneer stereo with nav and DVD, but I should probably focus my spending on gifts :-)

I'd go for the front bumper. Have you seen Man-A-Fre's? I'd get that one if I did it over...

You got a link? Searched the site and can only find ARB bumper on Man A Fre site.

That is a very interesting bumper... Kinda cool but also looks a little massive in the angles of the photos. It might look really cool on an all black FJ though :-) I dig the way it sort of straddles the line between the tube bumper and the non-tube bumper...
