    Hey guys, just picked up a 17 5.7 TRD (not pro) 4x4 off road package. Nicest vehicle Ive ever owned and planning on doing a couple things to muscle it up and hoping you guys can point me in the right direction, to include

    Exhaust (between stainless works and dirty deeds, ive already left a message for keith)

    A slight level and larger tires (while not losing and torque/power...might keep the TRD wheels...)

    Tint

    Some minor appreance stuff (switch chrome to black, custome badge, etc..or maybe I should paint match the grill, hump, and surrounding piece and do a full chrome bumper front and rear (including middle pieces) with for an old school muscle truck look)

    A true remote start (that doesnt cut off when you unlock the door)

    And some other stuff.

    Its a double cab and I want kind of a muscle truck feel to it.

    Around 96k....crappy time to have to buy a new truck and most with less mileage were way more expensive. Got a clean bill of health from my mechanic before I bought it and I really dig the color. I figure for toyota 96 is just barely broken in. No signs that it was dogged out or anything

    That’s low miles. You should be able to run that truck a long time.

    For remote start, try 12 Volt Solutions. I have a 17 as well and installed one on mine back in the fall. Plug and play and very easy install.
