    Color matched all the chrome. That has by far been the most appreciated.

    4WDKING 40 inch off Amazon. I rarely use it so there was no way i was going to drop $1000 on a feature i rarely use. The light has held up well and is super bright. Definitely a cool mod for not a lot of money.

    What does the underside of these look like? I bought some cheap ones for my 4runner when I redid the interior and took them off the other day to find they had stained the leather around the edges pretty bad.

    It's nice to be back in a V8 even though I've sacrificed pulling into parking spots head on...

    Really liking this trim level though. It's going to spoil me for the next new truck I buy, whenever that may be.

    Also, even though its stock, the speed adjusting sunroof diffuser is awesome. Amazing how much difference it makes in wind noise.

    What kind of stereo upgrades do you have? I’ve owned my 1794 less than a month and am surprisingly underwhelmed by the factory JBL premium sound system. Considering some upgrades in the coming months.

    Same here, although I turned the bass almost all the way down and it sounds much better. Can actually get some volume without distortion.

    The previous owner had the stereo upgraded. Not real sure what speakers he used to be honest. Kept the factory head unit. I know the amp is a kenwood DSP. Also the sub is upgraded. When I was shopping for a truck I drove a few tundras that had the factory stereo , I was less than impressed. It was going to be my first upgrade to do but fortunately the truck I bought had the work done.
