    Hello everyone, I've been a 2013 Tundra owner for 3-4 years but finally traded in my 2wd double for the 2017 4wd crew. Budget is still tight at the moment, but I'm looking into the cheaper mods I can do myself. Love all the posts of stuff you guys are doing with your tundras. I'll take all the suggestions I can get.

    You actually read my mind on that one. I like the chrome, but it's a little much. I think several cans of plastidip are in my future for both the grille insert as well as the SR5 and Tundra decals.

    I just removed the SR5 and Tundra. Here's pretty much what your truck will look like with dipped wheels though.

    I like it. I think dipping the grille, the emblems, the rims, and the toolbox will make a big change. I'm considering dipping the chrome parts of the back and front bumpers as well.

    These trucks are sharp in any color, but silver is really slick. Congrats.

    Welcome from San Diego John. White is the best color, especially in a CM, but your silver looks pretty sharp. :rofl: Enjoy your new ride..........
