    Whassup everyone!!! I just joined the forum. I just purchased a 2018 Toyota Tundra Limited 2WD (Orange). I use it as my daily driver, don't do any off roading, so I guess you could say it is a Pavement Princess. I have plans to level it, do aftermarket exhaust, cool air intake, and possibly a supercharger or turbo. Any suggestions?

    I will post pictures and videos as mods are done.

    Curse you Perry the Platypus!
    Welcome from East TN! I highly recommend sticking with TRD parts. The stock air intake on these trucks is really well designed so a drop-in, performance filter is plenty. As far as exhausts go, either go with TRD (I have and love it) or @dirtydeeds. Those are your best options. I keep seeing the name Magnuson pop up when it comes to superchargers. Hope this helps!

    Welcome to the forums, say good "buy" to your wallet.

    As far as S/Cs and Turbos, turbo kit would have to be custom as there are no out of the box offering that I know of. The good news is Prospeed should be releasing a Centrifugal S/C kit for the Tundra soon. As far as what blowers are currently on the market you have Magnuson (uses the OEM/TRD design), Harrop and Whipple.

    Thanks for the welcome and quick responses

    As far as the exhaust goes, I am wanting something a little louder than the TRD setup. I watched some YouTube videos of exhaust that was installed and the TRD setup didn't give me the sound that I want.

    With my truck being 2WD should I raise the front, drop the back, or lift both front and back?? Ideas???

    As far as the supercharger goes, should I go with the TRD supercharger? When would be a good time to get the supercharger work done? Truck only has 32k miles on it.

    Welcome!
    Keep in mind that if you raise the front, you'll eventually want to raise the back too. Then you'll want bigger tires to fill up those wheel wells. Then you'll want more power to move those tires so you'll definitely want that SC kit. Maybe some rear gearing will help move those heavy 35's (or 37's).

    I hope you're ready to spend money because these forums will make that happen!

    Lastly....:worthless:

    Supercharge it now while you can afford fuel, TRD/Magnussen is solid, reliable and makes many smiles per gallon. Check out dirtydeeds exhaust if you want sound...look into long tube headers if you plan on keeping it naturally aspirated.

    When it comes to the Supercharger I'm relatively dumb... what do you mean by TRD/Magnussen is solid?? Is that s/c and blower? Or two types of s/c?

    Is there a particular order I should be doing my upgrades to make sure I get the results that I want?

    Lift
    Cool air
    S/C
    Exhaust

    Welcome from OKC! Before you spend a dime, sell it and get a 4x4 version. Otherwise you are going to spend a fortune and then find yourself wanting 4x4. Not good IMO! Think on it really hard and good luck!

    TRD/Mag is "a" supercharger...Magnusson made the TRD version.

    There are also Whipple and Harrop who make blowers for the trucks...

    If you want a louder exhaust, definitely hit up Keith over at @dirtydeeds. Dude is top notch and knows his stuff. Great guy, great service, and great product. He'll get you taken care of.
