    First order of business is de-chroming a bit, tint and some running boards. Loving all the great mods and advice on the board!

    Thanks @Prostar 190 . Are you rocking the OEM step assist / running boards in your profile pic? I like that look.

    Nice. Those are the ones I want too. Saw another Tundra CM at my local Costco with them recently and had been trying to figure out if they were OEM / aftermarket. My local dealership said they had never seen them before and that they must be aftermarket. After some thread searches here I determined that wasn't accurate. The dealership was wrong?? Shocking, right!? :crazy:

    Now I am stalking Craigslist nationwide looking for a pair in nice shape.

    Adding a kid to the mix was the reason why I upgraded to the Tundra as well. I had a Tacoma sport access cab and although it would fit, putting in a car seat would have been a pain.
