    Then I added 20% tint all the way around and a black UWS lowpro toolbox as well as the TRD Pro Grille. This is after the grille install.

    13" AntennaX was next as well as the carbon-fiber tailgate inserts.


    IMG_1607.jpg

    IMG_1613.jpg


    Found a great deal on some brand new "predator 6 steps" on craigslist.


    steps1.jpg

    steps3.jpg


    Added some blackout tape between the windows, since mine didn't come with any.


    blackout2.jpg


    Added the "Raptor Style" LEDs. My detailed write-up can be found in the DIY section.


    diy15.jpg


    Took off my tailpipe and painted it with VHT Flat Black Header Paint, and reinstalled along with a 7" BA Muffler Standard System from Dirty Deeds Industries and a black Go Rhino exhaust tip.

    Next came the TRD Pro rims.

    And what are some new rims without new tires? Cooper ST Maxx 275/70/18.


    image.jpg


    After the new tires wen't on I decided to go ahead and have the Bilstein's installed on the middle setting. Sits about level with a slight rake. Just how I wanted.

    Added The DU-HA underseat storage unit equipped with removable divider and gun racks.

    No your not the only cheap one. Here is both my 2014 sr'sIMG_20151211_155428032_HDR.jpg. They aren't cheap once you start moding.

    Updated w/ pics after I installed the steps. Really needs some black wheels since there is no more silver/chrome on the truck now. Waiting to find a good deal on some TRD Pro rims that way I can add the rims/tires/lift all at once. Next up will probably be the TRD Rear Sway Bar / TRD Pro Headlights / Blackout tape between the windows.

    Thanks man, The TRD Pro grille with white surround and hood bulge included was around $470 shipped to FL. (Comes in either white, black, or inferno but I'm pretty sure I have heard you can get it color matched to any truck for a little extra)

    If you are going to order one (or any other OEM parts for that matter) I would contact the user on here named Roman, who works the online store at Toyota of Cool Springs. He is super helpful and can get you pretty much anything that comes on our trucks or is made for our trucks by Toyota.

    Updated w/ pics from muffler install and the Pro rims I had put on today. Ordering tires tomorrow, still torn a little between 275/70/18 BFG A/T KO2s and Cooper ST Maxx. Leaning towards the Coopers, any input on which tire will last the longest?

    Well my "Future Mods" list is starting to get a little low, and I am almost finished with the appearance so now I am looking into some useful/practical mods for what I use the truck for (fishing/hunting/working).

    First one has to be some type of gun rack or gun holder for my hunting rifles. Also need some type of cell phone mount. Also trying to come up with an idea for extra storage in the cab. Too bad they don't make a underseat storage unit for the double cabs. Any suggestions or ideas on other mods that would be useful?

    The Cabelas Hunters Tackleback is a good, inexpensive solution ($18) for a gun holder. Hooks around the seats and holds two rifles/shotguns/bows vertically or horizontally. I have one in my Tundra.

    Have you put a rifle with a scope in one of these? If so does the scope bump against the middle console at all going down dirt roads and stuff? Also can you grab a gun out of it while sitting in the front seat fairly easily? Need it to be easily accessible from the front incase I need to hop out and make a quick shot.

    Those would be ideal as opposed to mounting something on the roof, but I'm thinking the roof mount might be best for grabbing a gun in a hurry.

    I'm thinking having both options would be good. :cookiemonster:

    I generally put my rifle vertically behind the passenger seat so I can grab it fast, or if I need it quicker I just don't put it in there at all. If it's vertical you'd need to worry about it hitting the center.

    Updated w/ pics of the DU-HA underseat storage unit. Haven't had time to put any rifles in it yet to test the fit with a large scope and the seat folded down, but either way I am glad I made the purchase. Finally a place to store all my stuff that doesn't have a home. If anyone wants any additional pics just send me a message!
