Well, just some stuff I'm keeping an eye out for. Thought maybe if someone here was upgrading or has seen a car in a JY... This is all for my 2009 with tan interior... I've been watching ebay and craigslist a bit, but no rush on anything...
Overhead "console" with garage door opener and NO sunroof switch
auto dimming inside mirror
leather shift knob
leather wheel
110V power inverter for backseat
foglights/switch
dual exhaust/bumper insert
Possibly interested in the 5 spoke 17" alloys from a 2LT
side nets for the trunk
Possibly interested in the premium carpet floor mats and trunk mat
I haven't decided what I want to do about the lackluster audio system. JL's sub is nice, but a bit pricey. If the wiring is all there, I might be intersted in buying all the bits and pieces from an LTZ. Probably cheaper to build something custom though...
I know someone is probably wondering why I didn't just buy an LTZ... well, I got a great deal on my 1LT, plus got a free 3.5L V6, which may have a little less power, but rated better on economy and no cheesy paddle shifters. I also didn't really care for the seats in either the 2LT or LTZ (in the cocoa interior. I will say the black interiors were quite nice though), and learned to dislike the auto climate controls in my Avalanche (Except during remote start, which I was told the Malibu remote start doesn't activate the auto climate controls, which is really just auto temp)... I'm also not fond of the extra chrome on the LTZ.
So, I figured I'd take the good deal, and just make it want I want. However, I will say I was very close to buying a used '08 LTZ with the brown/orange interior inserts (I Loved the interior color, but the wife said NO, plus it didn't have the bluetooth, which was a big seller on our 1LT)
