    Let me start by saying I have not had a truck in 20 years and I cant wait to start my build.

    I Have a 2020 SR5 CrewMax.

    I opted out of TRD 4x4 for the simple fact of SoCal living and I would rarely use it. Plus I wanted to start from scratch with my build.

    I have had the truck for 7 days, I have researched mods and builds for about 900 hours "lol" and havent done shit!!!

    I am overwhelmed. I cant decide on RIMS, Runner Boards, Lift or Level.

    Here is my first idea, please let me know what you think and thank you for having a place for me to take my Tundra issues.... lol

    Sound: Most likely keeping stock head unit, however buying the concealed JL Audiobox for behind the seat with 2 10" subs. Undecided on AMP...lol

    Lift: Thought I had decided on the K53023 ICON Stage 2 with 2.5" lift.

    Tires Thinking Ko2 35*12.50r1 with Black 14*1.5 rims.
    ..............................................................................................

    Maybe I should just get my Tint and running boards first, and build from there.

    Welcome from VA. As soon as it’s available for 2020, get the frac harness. I also highly recommend the pop n lock tailgate lock. Not sure if the 2020 is like a 17 for rear under seat storage, but it’s an easy mod. Can’t think of the name of the plastic insert.
    ESP storage

    I am researching and getting some input from others. Other than maybe wanting a badass looking truck, I will have no use for the big lift. Does a leveling kit give the Tundra pop as well? I think I read you can get 33s with a leveling kit...

    Once I have the level my truck will sit at, I can build around.
