    I just got my first-ever tundra. It's a 2016 1794 edition. What are the best mods to do to it? I looked at performance chips but heard how they can throw engine lights, I know I want to get tires and rims, a new head unit, a bed cover, running boards, and color match all the chrome. What brands are the best for this?

    Congratulations.
    Look through the thousands of threads. Those questions are all covered in way too much detail on this site.

    Welcome!

    :worthless: Haha, I've been wanting to use that.

    I'm fairly new to the Tundra world myself. Got my '18 on Black Friday. If it's one thing I learned from owning my first Tundra, mods seem to be endless. Lots of great people on here. You'll find it to be a new addiction looking for all the right things to do to it. Also I'd recommend not jumping into the first thing you see, there are always better options out there. :thumbsup:

    Also, I started a thread recently asking what the first thing owners did and got a few pretty good ideas from it...
    https://www.tundras.com/threads/first-mod-or-change.134574/

    The "What have you done to your 2.5 gen today" thread is also a great one to sift through...

    Well Merry Christmas to you!! Lets see it.

    I'm very happy with my Bakflip MX4 and Bedrug.

    Power outlet and lights in the bed are nice too.
