new Tundra, mods, questions

I just bought a '21 Tundra TRD Sport 4x4 and am new to trucks. I'm new to trucks and have it primarily as a highway vehicle. It did not come with a console safe or nerf bars, so I had both installed recently (along with bug juice barrier on hood, AMP step - up near red of bed and Husky mats in front and back). Also ordered from TufSkinz (like a month ago) are the four a/c vent , matte black chrome ring covers.

What are the suggested next ten mods? I was thinking nano or some kind of window heat protection, bed cover (nothing cheap but not too fancy or job functional [since I'm retired and not married]), black-out chrome tabs on sides. I was thinking about exhaust and something instead of fabric seats but not sure. The seats have FabricGuard but I've heard these fabric seats get dirty easy. As for seats and exhaust, I've heard things about altering stuff on modern trucks that throws off computers...like passenger front seat alterations maybe messing up air bag status for that seat and exhaust alterations throwing off "engine light" status and causing those worries. I was thinking of leather seats. I'd heard that if I went with Toyota parts on anything mechanical that it improved chances of not screwing things up. Also, is there any way to get decent integrated nav system in this thing without having premium audio package and without having to install crazy stuff like "Tesla radio" and such forth as that!?

Welcome! There's tons of threads on here about mods to do. Plenty of opinions and links too. As @1UP said, get familiar with this forum and start reading threads. You'll learn a ton. Get ready for your wallet to feel lighter!

Also you should have navigation on your head unit. Also apple car play and and android car play is available too

 

Thx. What's a Head unit??

 

welcome from the wet side of WA.

Head unit is the stereo... the part in the dash at least.
You might look at AJT Designs for chrome delete off interior parts. Some people have bought the tuffskinz vent ring covers and not been very happy with them. AJT mags an ABS cover that fully hides the chrome.

 

The driver side grab handle is a must have. This will cut down on wear on the driver seat (sliding in & out).

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! I highly recommend the ceramic heat protection on all the windows, especially if you live in a temperate area. I had mine done about 9 months ago and was most recently impressed with it yesterday. I parked at my office in full sun all day long. The temperature got up to the low 70's plus whatever the full sun added. I had accidentally left a box of Junior Mints in my center console. I remembered them when I got in around 4:30 pm and fished them out of the console, worried that they would be too soft or even melted. No worries! When I opened the box, the mints were actually still a little cool to the touch! Definitely one of my favorite mods, ESPECIALLY since it is invisible!

 

I put the Tyger roll up tonneau cover on mine, its very good at any cost, and it is one of the less expensive options in covers. As for Nav, I activated apple carplay and use my phone and have been happy with that. Personally I think the shocks on my SR5 are not up to the task, so that will be probably be my next big mod. 12V DC power in the bed is my next mod. If you don't have the bed rail system that would good to add as well.

 

Where does on get the drivers side grab handle?
