Default '07 GX Just bought, few ?s (grill,dvd,spare tire lock)

Hey, I just bought a 2007 GX470 and have some questions to the long time owners:

1) As much as I don't want to, I need to buy front and rear bumper/grill guards, preferrably chrome that are bolt on, anyone have an specifics or recommendations

2) Does anyone know of a way to 'hack' the dvd/nav so you can watch DVD's while moving? Or any other 'cool' ways to improve the electronics?

3) Does any know of a way to put a LOCK the or cable lock on spare tire? I'm bringing my car to an area where they steal the spares??

Thanks for any advice.

SWEET just what I was looking for!! Have you ever used the SpareGuard? They don't have too many actual pics on the website and want to make sure it's applicable w/ my Lexus... I think I might just go the Wire and Lock route.... straight forward..

Thanks!

Ps Here are a few Pics...

I have not used the SpareGuard, but if I was to choose, I would choose Spareguard over cable-and-lock since it does not require getting under the truck to open the lock and remove the cable (keep in mind that when you need to do this your truck is tilted).
