    So, I just bought a 2016 Tundra, 5.7L, V8, and I am loving it.

    Any suggestions for cool toys I want to add on?

    Welcome!!!
    You just opened up a can of worms here haha

    Lifts, new wheels/tires, window tint, BAMuffler exhaust, retrofit headlamps, spray in bed liner, SUPERCHARGER!

    Search around, there's a ton of good ideas.

    welcome bud. A nice cheap mod to start is the Pop And Lock for the tailgate. Lock and unlocks with your doors. Total must have.

    Welcome new guy!
    Congrats on the new truck and welcome to the crew!

    I can some great ideas for my truck, if you have the spare cash :D

    If you looking for suggestions, I know the TRD Sway bar is a very popular backed choice for function. (depending on your personal needs)
    I really enjoy the dual exhaust, and it brings the truck to life and you can never go wrong with some new shoes!

    Good luck on your journey and put up pics in the what have you done thread.

    Welcome!

    I agree with @joonbug on the Pop 'n Lock - a useful mod Toyota should've included standard.

    http://www.popandlock.net/power-tailgate-lock/toyota-power/toyota-power-tundra/tundra-07-17

    Another mod you might appreciate every time you drive your truck is the TRD rear sway bar:

    http://parts.toyotaofcoolsprings.com/oe-toyota/ptr1134070

    Toyota of Cool Springs in Franklin, TN is one of our Official Vendors. Our contact there is @Roman (his first name).

    One of these is a good idea if tailgate theft is an issue where you live/travel:

    Enjoy that sweet new Tundra!
