    Assuming tires and a hitch recovery shackle don't count, I'd say sliders.

    I don't understand the arbitrary rule that tires don't count. We literally tell all the new guys that's the first thing they should do.

    Maybe it's so they can do two mods while only having to admit to one.

    For the purpose of this game, tires are no different than paint. You're really not changing the stock form

    I demand everyone who said tint be immediately lambasted by the tire naysayers then. It's only fair.

    While most of us recognize that tires are the FIRST modification to be made and also considered necessary, there are "soccer moms" and "mall runners" who keep stock tires. There are also a significant number of 2WD 4Runners. The OP sets the conditions for his post and it seems like he should have said "other than tires" if that was what he intended. We can't read things into his query.

    Correct. Tires that are not original equipment is a modification.
    Some trim levels can come with Nitto Terra Grapplers in 265/70/17. That is my case so I choose to add a winch.

    Some have said lighting, armor, roof rack. Very interesting answers.
    Its a basic premise and simple question. If people wish to modify the question so they can get creative, so be it. I am just curious what modification people value the most. :thumbsup:

    Tires, tints, ppfs are not mods. I've seen people here consider their phone holders a mod. :der:
    It's still a stock vehicle afterwards. Nothing was MODified.

    So every car that changed tires is considered modded?

    Suspension for me.

    If that's the case, everyone's answer should be filling up their gas tanks.

    I'd love to add a winch, viper cut, Spare tire carrier, roof rack. In no particular order.

    And yes, mod as you see fit. If it wasn't done at factory, its a modification. Phone holders down to suspension and tires. Mod away!!
