New member, eager to take some advice

Hi everybody.

I'm 62 and. Recently got "my last truck, ever". A 2020 limited with 30k on it. I have a neighbor that has shown me a ton of upgrades and mods on his tundra, and I'm drooling over doing many of the things he suggested. It's a TRD Pro with the blackout OEM package. I had departed from owning toyotas even though my 77 Celica and 86 forerunner were so solid for me.

Trying to learn what I can from people who have put in the work. More than a little hesitant to start modding, don't think I'll ever get it lifted but I've got to do something about that jbl system. Did they even listen to it before deciding it was an upgrade?

Live in Colorado and when I can I fill up with non-ethanol fuel. Love cal coop makes and sells it. I'm not a zombie behind the wheel, but I really need to get better steel bumpers before I don't feel the need to go slower and slower so folks don't hit me

Welcome from NY.

 

For a 2020 I think the very first upgrade and really the absolute best usability for money is to add the driver side grab handle.
I quite like having running boards for myself, however I think that's more of a personal preference upgrade item.

 

Welcome

 

Welcome from CO as well!
Everything I'm going to mention are probably going to be your best bet for DIY
James at tech12 will possibly know a good solution to your sound system as I've heard. Or if your inclined to do sound deadening it makes a big difference as well. I've come to like my stock sound system after sound deadening and thermal lining.
Tinting is one option in my opinion the first mod anyone should do makes a big difference in general.
Esp under storage is another if your looking for more space if you have a Crewmax.

Welcome from Central Texas!

One of my first cars back in the mid/late 80’s was a 1976 Celica. I remember it well.

Welcome and greetings from Minnesota. If not already equipped, consider putting on a full coverage set of catalytic converter shields. I don’t know about Colorado, but cat shields are a “must have” in Minnesota.

 

Welcome and i second the driver side grab handle. Its the only mod I use pretty much every single time I use the truck. I imagine it would help you alot to get in and out. Since you are in a mountainous and offroad friendly state, I would also consider a transmission cooler kit, especially if you tow.

 

Welcome!
