    I'm currently broke and about to start a career in the Coast Guard, but I have exhausted a list of upgrades that will be completed in the next decade lol. Let me know what y'all think! I'm focusing on towing, drivability, reliability and a non-frill experience and look, as well as period correctness. Imagine the truck as it sits, but with these items added on or replaced. I'm keeping it chrome where its chrome, and halogen like its 2005. ;)
    This was mostly copied and pasted from my excel document with prices and part numbers so i have an explanation for those at the bottom. All of the OEM parts listed were all sourced from the accessories you could equip them with (listed in the back of the 2005 brochure).

    Interior

    OEM Door Sill Protectors

    A couple of notes... the K&N intake that I want only comes with the tubing and the reusable filter, so its using the factory air box. I would like to replace all of the audio components with modern JBL tech, but the last double din they made with Apple Car play was discontinued in 2017 or something. The TRD wheels mentioned are the Ivan Stewart wheels that came on the Ivan Stewart Edition trucks. I will also be painting the tailgate handle black, instead of the textured black, so it will resemble that of a "Limited" feature. The skid plate is the really weird small one btw. And yes I plan on putting the monobrow hood protector on lol.

    It's really simple, and most of these parts are sitting in storage, but it will be finished once I have the cash and the time to fix all of the cosmetic issues I've had forever on this. Here it is currently with a VERY small set of tires, the Ivan Stewart Wheels, Gibson exhaust, and a few other things listed. Below that is when I had a Softopper on it with some Enkei 16's, RC lift, 265/75R16 KO2s, and below that is a picture with my FJ Cruiser 17's, clear corners, and crappy LED's all around. Good grief I've come full circle.
