    8CCED817-8470-4A74-BD3A-1161835F9125.jpg Hey, new people! Alright!

    I traded in the 17 Taco for a 2018 Tundra TRD off road, love it so far. Haven’t filled up the gas tank yet though...

    Look forward to learning more from this group.

    What are the top 5 easy mods you’ve done with a new truck?

    Welcome!

    If your new truck isn't covered in a garage, consider ceramic coating for paint protection.

    Got the all weather mats and negotiated the bed liner spray.

    What’s up with everyone recommending de-badging? Are you talking about the engine size badge, TRD logos, etc.?

    Yes, they are talking about removing the emblems on the sides, tundra on front doors, and the SR5 on back doors.

    It's no different than any other sealant, just last longer. Protects the paint from UV light and fading, makes cleaning it a lot easier, and in weather it beads and falls off nicely.

    All depends on what you want, I blacked the badges out but left them on. Found an easy overlay kit on Amazon, took 10 minutes. Another is changing out to a stubby antenna.

    Another easy mod is buying a new gear shift, switch to the TRD one. Much better!
