Help me build my Tundra

TeddyKGB · Oct 16, 2017

Hi Guys,

Still quite new here on the forum and learning the ins and outs. I am going to start doing a few things to my truck and was curious to know if some of those knowledgeable individuals out there in Tundra land could lend some advice. I have a 2017 Crewmax Limited in Black that is completely stock at the moment. I have done lots of digging through the forums and have acquired some great information.

1. Was going to get the black hood bulge and go bedliner spray on the grille to give it more of a black vibe as the TRD Pro grilles seem a little hard to come by. Thanks to the recommendation from treating. Has anyone else tried this and had success ?

2. Was going to get the TRD Pro headlights unless anybody else has a some great light recommendations. I am not that knowledgeable about lights but if there is something that is a must to checkout let me know.

3. Lastly, I have a good connection Cooper and was going to get some tires from them. Either the SST Pro or the S/T Maxx. Again, no the most knowledgeable here but it seems as that I cannot use my stock wheels for these and will have to get new ones. As I have to get into garages in downtown Seattle a lift won't be an option unfortunately. Anybody have these tires and can recommend any wheels ?

Thanks in advance for the help!

The TRD Pro headlights are just an aesthetic upgrade. Light output will be the same as your stocks. Look into a retrofit or the 18 LEDs if you want better output. And you can put any brand tire on your stock wheels, just depends on size. You should be able to go up one size and be fine without a lift.

If parking garages were not an issue I would go down that road.
