    Oooh look, another mod.....
    I want the "It's paid off, motherfucker", mod. Why? Because interest rates suck and so does having a car payment.

    Is tint a mod? If not then lights. Headlights if only one light allowed.

    This is really all dependent on definitions here. Lol

    Two mods count? Beefy tires and cutting some of the bumpers, to make it more offroad worthy

    Tires without a doubt.

    I could run it stock all day, but I’d agree with supercharger.

    Exterior lighting - rocklights including headlight, battery, and alternator upgrade. I know its only supposed to be one mod, but what good is extra lighting if you dont have the power to run it all. Its nice to be able to see what's around the vehicle when wheeling at night

    Armor. It's easily the biggest game changer for me. And, I don't consider tires a mod.

    I hang out with a guy who has a Japanese 80 series with a turbo diesel. I'll pass on the diesel smell.

    Actually none. I have no functional mods on my car that I needed to do. The few that I have, I just did them because I read about them not because I needed them.
    I have done cosmetic changes but again I could also live without them.
    For my intended use, it's good as is.
