    Well guys, after 11 memorable years and 250,000 incredible miles on my old SR5 crewmax, my better half gave me the green light to buy a new Tundra last night! I got a great deal of $39,000 for my new 2018 limited crew max.
    The color is red and the interior is a two tone grey leather which I love. They are also going to install the bolted fender flares to match the color and threw in some all weather toyotafloor mats.

    I have a couple questions for you guys.
    1) What are some cool features and settings I need to know about my truck that may not be visible to the naked eye? Settings in the entertainment system? Just anything that I should know.
    2) What are some must have addons that won't break the bank? I'm definetly getting tint and chrome running boards. Any ebay or Amazon recommendations for running boards?

    One more thing, I'm having issues uploading a startup image and display off image. I followed directions off the internet correctly including the names of the folder, the images being jpegs,etc... anyone figure out how to fix this?

    Thanks guys!

    Welcome. Congrats on the new truck .
    My best mod is the addition of under seat storage (ESP brand)
    Regarding the images; did you make sure to have the correct upper and lower case letters in the folder names?

    Great looking truck, love this color and that grille is my favorite of the 2018 trucks.

    Might want to look into adding the TRD rear swaybar, lots of members enjoy the improved stability it offers.

    Congrats on the new rig! Try hitting Tow/Haul mode and hang on.

    Easy mods I did were swap the antenna to a short stubby 6 3/4” from Amazon - $18.99, helps in garages and car washes. Looks better. LED internal light replacements are nice.

    Well, if you make it to Houston, I’ll make you a deal on the chrome running boards.
