Re: Non Standard additions and resale value:
Interesting read, especially because there is a 7yr difference between comments it will be interesting to see if this thread picks up regarding the T31 model.
Although I won't be getting rid of the Exy (only had 12 months but 22,000km) it is the perfect family car for us. I have considered the possibility of trading/selling private my 1997 hilux (a lil off topic).
Though I believe the principles behind extras would be the same, although dual cab hilux's would target a non-family background I guess and more rather the tradies. PM me if anyone interested ;-)
Back on topic, I would only take off my driving lights from all my upgrades. While I would think the nudge bar would be appealing on, I would only sell privately if I couldn't at least get 50% of its value with trade in.
Reggie I'm surprised that they would swap the AT tyres for HTs. I understand that they provide different advantages but I believe my 697s are safer than the original HTs and have an advantageous height advantage of 46mm from OME.

Re:
Yea I thought too. I guess it depends on who you trade in to. The Nissan dealer I went to had a different market in mind whereas the Ford dealer didn't care.
