    Well that didn't last long. Already ordered a cargo bar and Tyger roll up tonneau cover to expand storage. Always going to the grocery store or transporting baby gear in the back seat gets cluttered. Going to put a couple plastic totes back there for containment. :thumbsup:

    Loving this! It is made really well but the biggest complaint was leaking water. I had to put two extra strips of foam where it meets the cab because there was a fairly large gap. Not too worried about it leaking because I will add foam where need be and should be pretty easy. Took about an hour with fitment and adding the foam.

    Also added the cargo bar and a couple totes. Probably will upgrade the totes sometime. With the bed light it is perfect.

    Installed a tailgate ladder. Makes getting into the bed very easy now. Added an additional velcro strap and zip tied small amount of pipe foam to keep it from rattling. It has a noticeable difference in weight of the bed while driving which I actually kind of like. And I put my side window visors back on. Really like the look of them. The reason I took them off was is narrowed my field of view towards the front of the vehicle but I have decided the look outweighs the small negative effect they pose for my height. 6'1"

    Also have a question about the tonneau cover. I did adjust it evenly for tension per the instructions. Also added silicone in small crevices to waterproof it more. It worked pretty well but it does flap quite a bit while driving. Wondering if anyone has experience with this and possibly a solution. Thank you.

    Put on some door handle covers from Ebay. Sick of having to keep putting tire shine on them. The glossy black goes well with the window visors.

    Updates: Rock Warrior color matched grill conversion and aftermarket smoked headlights. Next up going to wrap the front and rear bumpers myself with 3m super gloss wrap

    Very nice Tundra but curious as to why you didn't go with the Punisher 5.7L?

    What’s the Punisher 5.7L? I would love a 5.7L but wasn’t really in my price range but I like the 4.7L a lot too
