    So I've been looking at fender flares, LED cab lights and some internal usb/120 lines. What mod did you make to your TRD Pro that left you most satisfied?

    I'm not looking for super clever answers, just people who've performed a number of updates and can rank them. I know we are all unique or have different interests. Personally, I want my truck to look great outside and I want the interior to have all the necessities.

    So with all that said...any suggestions from my Tundra brethren?

    Pics? Where do you stand. Do you have wheels and tires? Generally its wheels and tires first. Then go from there.

    :worthless:


    wheels and tires man

    Brogan, I love the hell out of your fender flares (and your entire truck). I'll post pics tomorrow but I'll say, I was in negotiations for both the white and an inferno orange but the manager with the white really wanted to sell me the truck so that's what I ended up with. I have stock wheels/rims and added some step bars, that's really it. I'm running the super white and I'm aiming for the white/black with red accents. I'm scheduled to get windows tinted next week.

    I'd have to say replacing the stock tires is the most satisfying. Though, I haven't really been disappointed with anything I've done to this point.

    As with the tires, upgrading the sound system just feels like a must. The TRD Pro has a badass look that deserves better tires (performance and appearance) and I just felt like it would be an injustice to leave the weak stock sound system unchanged.

    Then the whole tires/wheels/suspension deal... Plus sliders, then Skids.

    Tires would rank first as far as biggest aesthetic change, close second would be retro fit headlights.

    Just last week I added rigid fog lights and I've been very pleased with how it brought the truck together to match the led color lighting theme. Something had just seemed like it was missing until now.

    DiodeDynamic LED interior bulb replacements all red, so if I need them at night to find something I am not blinded.
    Goodyear Wrangler DuraTracs 275-70-18, a HUUUUUUGE improvement in wet, dry and snow. On almost 2 years and maybe 12k and a smidge noisy now but quiet when new, tread is still beefy!
    Side steps, getting in and out is tough on these old man hips, just get something better than ICI Magnum if in the North East, they are tanks, but poorly coated and look like poo now sadly, and I barely had it out in the salt.
    Line-X, because the plastic liner is meh and rubs the paint off.
    Tonneau cover, to keep out the crap and snow, shoveling out the bed gets old.
    Weathertech front and rear digital mats. Kinda stiff and had to re-mold the drivers and passengers outer side with a hairdryer after a year but keep most of the dirt tamed. Husky's look nicer and I may switch.
    Anker USB socket adapters, one per socket gives me 6 ports for the phones etc. Next maybe an ac inverter(converter?) or voltage indicator
    K&N Air filter (clean your MAF too) and throttle body, I disconnected the battery for an hour and did an idle re-learn. Not sure but feels a tad crisper now.
    Bosch wiper blades.
    Aquapel glass treatment.
    On deck-Powerstop stock replacement rotors and ceramic pads, metal oil filter housing.
    Regular oil changes every 5k, dealer did them previously but I am taking over. Thinking Mobil1 Full synthetic? I usually go with Royal Purple, may here as well.
    Weekly or bi-weekly no touch car wash or manual wash.
    Probably go for a tint waiver for the fronts, too bright.
    Oh and pano rearview clip on mirror, had it forever and really helps visibility.
    Windshield phone mount, I have the SR5 bench front with column shift, no good places to mount on the dash that don't block the vents.
    Had window visors when I purchased it, much needed.
    Seafoam in gas and oil prior to an oil change every 5k.
    Lastly (thanks for reading this far LOL) remote starter. So easy to clear the windshield in winter after 15 minutes warming up. I do 90% highway, and sometimes a few hours at a time so I don't sweat it.
