    Nice ride where did you get the roll bar installed? Do you have back cover over your truck bed? I'm looking for that same style but no seems to have it.

    5 mods so far, also highly recommended must haves :bowdown:

    1. OE Style fender flares (Stopped puddle water from splashing onto the windshield at speed).
    2. Weather mats (Keeping the interior neat and easy to clean).
    3. Rain visors (I like to have windows open).
    4. Tonneau cover.
    5. AJT interior trims (way less sun glare).

    Install an aftermarket head unit that supports wireless CarPlay.

    On Amazon, I seen an adapter that turns a wired CarPlay to wireless. The reviews are not that good, so thought if there are any other solutions besides that or an aftermarket head unit.

    Money is tight so I do less expensive mods and daydream about those big mods.

    Pop & lock tailgate
    Tint
    Aluminum Oil Filter case
    Rago Modular Dash plate
    Front tow hooks painted
    Rear underseat storage
    K&N drop in filter
    Drop in tray for center console
    Rigid fog lights

    Guess it all depends on what you use your truck for. For me we take road trips quite a bit (well normally when there isn't a pandemic) so my top mods would be around that.

    At first I focused on "fixing" things I thought should be in the truck for one reason or another.

    1. Center console safe
    2. Under rear seat storage (why this isn't a factory option is dumb)
    3. LED interior lighting (again dumb that a 2018 $55k truck has halogen interior bulbs stock)

    Other mods focused on trips:
    4. VIAIR compressor with 2.5 gallon tank (air always comes in handy)
    5. Dometic 12v fridge (so nice to have cold drinks even when out for just the day) ... of course this one started a whole bunch of other mods such as 2nd battery, mppt charge controller, solar panels, etc.

    Plenty of great advice on how to spend money here though! :)

    I'll ditto this. One of the first things I purchased after reading through the posts here.

    My top mods from stock are checked off though the list is not complete. Looking at wheels next. Thinking black...

    1. TRD rear sway bar
    2. TRD exhaust
    3. Spray in bedliner
    4. Tri-fold hard tonneau cover
    5. Black running boards
    6. Remote tailgate lock (under rated feature IMO)
    7. Ceramic tint (finally going in this week). Going 35% VLT on the fronts, 15% VLT overall on the backs. 35% on the fronts keeps me from "attracting attention" in my locale and my eyes are not getting younger. My previous vehicle had 35% VLT on the fronts and I had to roll the windows down a couple times at night to see an address number. Need to bring the backs down from ~20ish %. Especially the back window. My prior trucks had caps on them so I'm accustomed to the privacy... along with using my mirrors.
    8. A BT dongle to enable wireless apple carplay.
    9. Purchased one of those JDM center console trays. For the $ it does the job well enough.

    BTW - if I could find wind chill colored mirror caps... it'd be cooler if I did. :cool:

    I'm trying to be thoughtful about mods on my truck. I don't want to do anything that might prevent the truck from being returned to OEM upon resale. Taking my time and honestly, the truck was pretty damn good from the factory. That said, I've made some small changes. My top 5 in order:

    1. Oh S*#t driver's side grab handle
    2. OEM vinyl door sill protectors - seriously Toyota? Not included on the PRO?
    3. Lock'er Down console safe
    4. Falken Wildpeak 295/70's
    5. XPel clear film protection for front end, door handle wells and door edges
