    Love and hate this forum!!!

    New to me Tundra(2017) and with extra time on my hands (money not so much).

    -chrome delete (handles and mirror caps)
    -headlight upgrade (bulb or whole assembly)
    -Steering wheel leather wrap
    -Falken Wildpeaks (could wait until fall)

    Which one first!!!?

    Id do chrome delete and steering wheel wrap. Both take more time and less money that the other options. BTW I love my Wildpeaks - good choice if you go that route.

    Chrome delete 1st, hold off on tires till fall if you can so you have nice new tread for winter months. Always hated buying tires in spring/ summer, but not sure how much snow in your area.

    Treat yourself and do the whole headlight upgrade. Best thing I ever did was 2019 TRD Pro LED headlights and Fogs. Worth every penny.

    If you get good ones, you’ll love the LED headlights.

    Just checked on 2019 TRD Pro LED headlights youtube comparison. Those are sick! Might have to order these soon. How much do folks pay for 2017 used halogen headlamps? Anything?

    BHLM cheap just takes some balls? Heating and disassembling the headlights..it’s not hard just gotta be patient. Search for instructions/videos.. Then replace your bulbs with LEDs.

    Not many yet, mostly stock.
    Pick the one you can buy today with free shipping, like Cool Springs is offering. @Roman can help you, sale ends on the 30th for chrome delete items.

    I did the chrome grill, hood bulge delete first thing.

    its a slippery slope next thing you know your sitting under your truck with a grinder looking at your new King suspension wondering if 35s are too small and should be 37s
