First Truck Any Suggestions?

I have been visiting this page for 7 years, hoping to one day be able to join, and today is the day. Yesterday I purchased my first truck, a 2007 5.7L 4x4 CrewMax Tundra. I have been looking for a truck with these specs for many years, but due to finances, purchasing one was delayed. My dad has a 2011 5.7L double cab that he purchased in 2017. He bought it with 160k miles on it, and it is going strong now at 280k miles. I knew that I also wanted a tundra and found one in my favorite color. It has 173k miles on it, and I want it to last a long time. I know that 2007 was the first introduction of the 5.7L V8, and anyone I have talked to says to avoid first-generation years when buying a vehicle, but this is a Tundra, the most reliable truck ever. I was wondering what are some fun mods to put on this truck as well as what maintenance I should be looking to do soon, with it being at 173k miles

Maintenance wise, I always do the fluids (if 4WD) I do both difs, Oil, Transmission (Do not flush!!!), Transfer case, and all filters (air and oil). Tire rotations, and I know this may have some controversy with it, but I would do a fuel injector cleaning. I did on my old 2010 and it was amazing how much stuff came out. Check your belts, belt tensioner, pullys, and hoses.

Other than that, I am sure someone will have even better advice.

Nice truck.

I agree with what @TRDGoodness says
