    Just traded in my 08 Tundra for this 2018 TRD Sport with 28K and couldn't be more excited. What are some of the things that you have added right away that you cannot live without? Not looking for any big mods right away but small ones that you have been really happy with. Thank you all in advance.[​IMG]

    Welcome and great pick with an MGM TRD Sport :hattip:

    There's quite a few threads on here with this topic. But couple of my favorites are window tint, armrest console organizer, and a full tank of gas :burnrubber:

    Nice looking truck. And since you won't need new tires right away, I'd say rear sway bar. Welcome.
    She's a beaut!

    A bed mat to keep things from sliding around and a tonneau cover to help keep the honest people honest.
    Rear sway bar would be nice for those who enjoy aggressive driving.

    The sport already comes with rear sway bar.:)

    Must have is tint. I can't stand to drive something without tint. All of a sudden I am hot from the sun beaming in and I'm like... oh.... No tint.

    Congratulations on your purchase!

    Boost Auto mirrors, RSB, Leer Legend canopy, Line-X bed liner
    Spray in bed liner if you don't have it and are going to use the bed.

    Rear sway bar is next on my list but, as mentioned, you already have it and it's not exactly cheap.

    I always upgrade tires- with 4wds always a better tread and larger size
    Organizer for the huge console
    bedliner, bed cover
    window tint
    TRD rear sway bar
    and since it is a v8- performance exhaust

    Those would always be the first mods.

    Define: "Not looking for any big mods right away..." ($50, $200, $500, $1000+)

    Many of the suggestions I see above are BIG mods.

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

    Pretty much everything I would prioritize has already been listed.

    Small mods <$200:
    Driver's side grab handle
    LED interior lights - I didn't think I needed these but when I found a good deal I got them and they are AWESOME!
    Power lock for tailgate
    Front camera
    Rear bumper step
    Console safe or organizer

    Larger mods:
    Tint (depending on where you live)
    Storage for under the rear seat
    Bedliner (if you don't already have it)
    Tonneau cover

    First things first. WeatherTech floor mats! I assume all truck owners have muddy boots or dog crap stuck to a shoe or another a majority of the week. I do a lot of hunting and I have no problem jumping back in the truck with muddy muck boots. Was the first thing I bought followed by seat covers because again, I'll jump in with waders on if I have to and not think twice.

    Organizer for the console is a cheap upgrade
    Tonneau cover and if you are lucky to be able to get a diamond back it will save you in the long run from selling the one you order and hate.

    If you have a wide brim ball cap, white framed glasses and drink energy drink then may I suggest a yeti cooler and truck balls

    I can't think of any small mods I did that made a big difference.

    Rago dash mount was a good one. I saved my coin for the big ones first in the order I put them above.

    $20K in mods to my 2014 SR5 and my favorite is a $90 black TRD shift knob.
    I had a silver one first, but got the black after the AJT dash parts.

    Put heat shrink tubing on the chrome shaft.
    Phone charger is nice too.
