Hey everyone, my name is Albert. I own a 2018 Tundra SR5 CrewMax TSS Off-Road 2WD. It was originally my great uncle’s truck, but he passed due to Covid. He had the dealer upgrade the mirrors to towing mirrors. I believe that the wheels and tires are dealer upgraded. So far, I’ve changed out the factory radio antenna for a much shorter one, I added a tool box to the bed, and I added the old school TRD colored badge to the grille.

I plan on adding the TRD rear sway bar, Ranch Hand front and rear bumpers and store steps, a 2”-2.5” lift, intake, exhaust, PowerStop brakes, front and rear off-road lights, a roof rack, and a headache rack.

I might even add the TRD hood scoop and color match the grille border.

I’m looking forward to sharing this journey with you all.

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

Welcome from OKC! Ranchhand bumpers, headache rack? Yep, Albert has a plan!

 

RIP to your Uncle.

 

Welcome. Sorry to hear about your loss. This Covid has taken its toll for sure. Looks like you have some plans. You will hear these suggestions quite a bit from alot of us that have been here a while. The exhaust that we recommend is from @dirtydeeds. One of his most common systems is the 8". Keith is our go-to exhaust guy. He knows these trucks. Call him with what you want loudness/quietness wise and planned usage such as towing and he will gladly help you choose a system. I will tell you from experience, his systems will cost a little more than your standard corner store Flowmaster shop, but they are far more superior. The sound and perform better. I had a Flowmaster until I switched to his system....I'll never look back! He has sales and group buys often, so look for those. His customer service is outstanding....ask anyone on here that has purchased items from him (he also has other items on his site) , or even just chatted on the phone with him.


As far as brakes, PowerStops have had numerous issues, mainly heat and vibrations. I recommend StopTech Sport Cryo treated, slotted only rotors.

 

Forgot to mention.....these trucks already have a cold air intake, so don't waste money on an aftermarket one.

 

Welcome from NY.
Sorry about your uncle.
Just make sure the center panel is removed from the Ranch Hand grille guard because of the TSS sensor in the logo on the grille. If not you can cut it out yourself.
Here's the link for the hood scoop install...
