how to upgrade the car

Hi all! I recently bought a Toyota Tundra 2012 5.7L 4WD and am very happy with the car!

I'm new to the forum, I would like to know how to improve the car, improve the interior, or maybe there is a list of what needs to be done immediately after purchase?

 

Tons of information on here on how to do exactly that. Providing folks with a little more information of what you’re starting with and what you’re looking to accomplish with the truck looks wise, what you intend on using the truck for, and finally some sort of budget (if you have one) would be a big help.



1st things 1st - welcome, congratulations on the truck and how about a pic?

 

Thanks for the answer!
This car will be used for work (transportation of small loads) and sometimes long trips. I would like to make it more comfortable and technological. I'm not going to change the technical part, it's just that small improvements in the interior.
So far, for now, I would not want to exceed the budget of 3.5k...

And here are a couple of photos

 

Welcome!

If it’s more of a work truck, I’d recommend bilstein 5100 struts in the front (to give you a little lift and even out the front ride height to match the back), fog lights, either leather seats (if you don’t have them) or leather seat covers (several members on here have talked about custom fit seat covers for tundra), and maybe a new double din radio with backup camera

 

Walk into a dealership and tell a sales person you'd like to trade in the Tundra for a 2022.

Just kidding.

This is one thread to give you some ideas on how to update your interior

thank you for the link
OMG that's an insane amount of work
I think I'll have to sell my wife's car to afford this

 

these are great wheels, I really like them

 

Thanks, they were "supposed" to be Land Cruiser wheels but I still needed 1/4" spacers so they'd clear the Calipers. The newer pic should be up there now. I'm in the process of "De-Chroming" like everyone else.....I'm starting with the Lugnuts; it's gonna take me a while!

 

Too low of miles Send it to me in tucson az and find one with 150k or more Thank you very much in advance

 

install a monitor like this https://smarty-trend.com/toyota-tun...-car-stereo-navigation-in-dash-head-unit.html , buy a camera like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/PARKVISION...int=&hvlocphy=2826&hvtargid=pla-1604565256536 (or any other)

 

is it fairly easy to replace the back up camera?

 

Here's my thread. My 2012 is a ranch/travel vehicle, so may be a bit more along what you're looking for

my favorite upgrades were the led interior lights, light bar in the grill (i live in a remote area, so extra lighting is very much appreciated), and air bags on the rear suspension for heavier loads. The truck already had weathertech floormats, otherwise they'd be up there too as i spend a lot of time in the dirt and mud
