    2015 DC MGM TRD
    Hey guys - FNG from Northern Kentucky. Just picked up a 2015 DC TRD-OR in MGM. I've loved and wanted a 3rd gen since they first came out but finally picked one up. I'm coming from a 4th gen 4runner (which I still have) and my last truck was a Z71 Chevy (never again).

    I bought this primarily for doing truck stuff (moving/hauling stuff). My 4runner is still my DD but eventually this truck will become my DD and the 4runner will be my off-road rig. I plan to keep this truck for a long time so want to take care of it so no big lifts/tires or major off-roading. That said, I do have a long list of things I want to do to it to make it perfect for me.

    I've already had the front windows tinted to match the rear and installed new Weathertech liners and window deflectors. Next up will be replacing the factory bedliners with a spray in, some kind of undercoating to keep the rust at bay and some type of hard, folding tonneau bed cover (any suggestions that don't cost $1k+?).

    I am going to get aftermarket wheels and tires but don't really want to lift it (maybe 5100's up front on the middle setting at most?) and I won't be going any larger than 285/65's for now. Some rock sliders are on the menu as well as is some TRD goodness (exhaust, rear swaybar, pro grill, etc.). I'd also like to de-chrome it.

    Anyway, I'm sure I will have lots of questions so thanks in advance!
