What are you planning to do to level it out? What shocks do you have front and back? How much did the metal tech conversion cost (parts & labor)?
Love your truck...especially with those wheels and tires. What % tint do you have up front?
Factory shocks, front is still at factory height. The Metal Tech kit was $250 and the FJ springs were $75. Once it settles a bit it'll come down, but I love the look of a bit of rake. I'm an Infiniti tech, so I do all the work myself. Front windows are 15%, windshield (entire windshield) is 35%. Whole job took me about 2 hours. I had a hard time getting the bags out since it's a Midwestern truck and I had some rust to deal with. Other than that, went perfectly smooth. Ride seems "ever so slightly" rougher, but I actually prefer it since my truck spends a lot of time off the beaten path. I chose FJ springs for the time being because I'm contemplating a full icon system with remote reservoirs in the spring. The truck was off road in Moab (among other places) in August and could've really benefitted from a more suitable suspension.
How do you like those terra grappler Holmes? Are they quiet?
I LOVE them. Based on the tread design, I didn't think they'd be good in deep sand, but man was I wrong. They've gone through everything I've asked them to. They're quiet until about 70mph or so, then hum a bit, but ride perfectly smooth. Can't speak highly enough about them.
Plug in a set of headphones (1/8 or 3.5mm jack) to one of the jacks on the back of the console (near the rear A/C controls - behind the flip-down panel) and power it up with the remote control. The display by the dome light should illuminate. Adjust the volume with the **** by the jack.
Sources are AM, FM, and CD. My Vaistech "minidisc" source doesn't show up. If the rear seat passengers choose the same source as the main unit, they listen to the same frequency or track as the front seat passengers (no separate tuner).

Yeah it is pretty primitive. I am using a tape adapter to play movie player's audio from the backseat. Of course, any tape adapter isn't long enough have to get a headphone cable extension as well.
I got a pair of these wireless headphones and it is affordable.
The previous owner installed headrest monitors and a dvd player. It plays through an FM adapter, so the folks in the back can use the rear seat audio to tune to that frequency. Keeps the parents from going insane from the 58th playing of "Spongebob".

I have been looking into one
Do you know the model on your headrest player and
How is the color match on your headrest ?
Picked up an awesome 2005 gx470 this weekend with the exact options and color I've been wanting; no nav, white on tan. Its has a ton of recent maintenance and is a no rust southern california car. I immediately gave it a full interior detail along with a clay bar, compound, polish and wax on the exterior. Here it is with the running boards and extra mud flap plastic trimmed off;
Here is a my old 4Runner so you can kinda see the direction this one will go in;
I have a 3" lift with a rear coil conversion kit on the way along with some other goodies, cheers!
