Accessory Advice

Picking up my first TRD PRO today! What accessories are the must haves? Which dash cover looks best? Best under seat storage? Im all ears! I already have running boards and bed cover.

Anyone else?

 

Just search the board. You’ll find anything you can ever need to put you into substantial debt.

 

Haha fair enough!

Must have!

 

i love the ESP long box for under-seat storage. it's metal and lockable.

Does that require cutting the floor for install?

 

Yes it does, but there are several mod instructions on this site, and the instructions from ESP are very good. Once installed, it looks OEM. I love mine!

Here's another mod thread to get you started:

The "accessory" that I use the most is the grab-handle that I had to install because it was stock on my previous three Tundras and apparently I really depended on that thing to get into my truck

 

My top used accessory is the Rago dash plate. It looks great and (coupled with a Ram mount) allows me to mount my phone in the perfect spot.

 

It’s a nice accessory I just could stand the clutter. Ended up reselling it. Apple play does everything now.

 

Some of my most used mods or accessories are:

Tow mirrors, whether you tow or not. I use the OEM Toyota tow mirrors. I love having the blind spot mirror. It makes changing lanes much safer.

Gator Floor Liners

Tonneau Cover. I have a Gator Tri-Fold.

Amp Research Bed Extender

AJT vent rings, shift surround, shift gate trim, cupholder trim. All that chrome in that area will blind you with glare eventually. While you're at it, paint over the glossy plastic area around the shifter, or put some matte vinyl over it.

Cupholder adapter, so I can fit a 40oz HydroFlask or a bottle of Gatorade in the cupholder.

OEM Tailgate Power Lock

Rexing Dash Cam

Window Tint. Black the rears out so no one can see in.

I don't know what year you got, but mine didn't come with heated seats. I just had them installed and it's wonderful!

 

So far I’ve done window tint, tonneau cover, rear bumper (fab fours), AJT shift knob, and 275/70-18 Trail Grapplers. I’ve put everything else on hold while I pay down some bills.

 

underseat storage and tonneau cover are probably the most important

 

The search function is your friend

 

Been thinking of getting one of these for our new truck. They seem pretty shallow, but I suppose some storage back there is better than none at all. I’m also curious though — the seat bottoms sit flat on top of this. So you clearly can’t “overload” the storage. But does having it there in any way degrade the comfort of the seat? OR introduce noises, squeaks, rattles, etc. as you drive?

 

Bed mount 50cal with remote trigger for dumb asss on the road

 

I don't have one yet been followed many of the threads on them. Have yet to see a post about a change in seat comfort, so I think you are safe there.
Many folks say there is no change in cab/road noise and no added noise from having the bin added. Most put the carpet they cut out in the opening which might help with limiting noise.

 

Just got a sprint booster. Made a big difference.

 

First two things I did to my TRD Pro is, pedal commander, its good, makes the truck more responsive. The next is the ESP metal rear storage under the seats. You will be amazed what gets stuffed in there.

I also put in the center console organizer and a few USB flash lights and work lights that are always charging when Im driving. I have a flashlight fetish and was once without light on an overnight float trip, so I spent a few hundred dollars on random rechargeable flash lights.

I added a sway bar this year, and it makes turns much better.

 

Yeah I have been using the tow haul button for a bit when I wanted some more juice. That’s said it’s very jumpy and not really that smooth as it’s holding gears.
I was worried a PC or sprint booster wouldn’t really fit what I was looking for and have put it off for a year as I thought it would feel the same as the Tow Haul.

it does not. I am happy to report that my sprint booster (and I’m sure it’s the same for PC users) really does make a difference and feels like the truck comes alive. It feel like what i think the truck should feel like with a V8. When I first bought my truck a year ago I thought to myself, it may be a v8 but doesn’t really have the torque of a v8.”
Anyway, happy that a $300 thing can make this big a difference. I was really not interested in a tune or something more extensive.

the total mods for me are:
amp bead step
Driver side grab handle
Tonneau
Sprint booster.

 

Best mods I have done on my 21 that dont break the bank too much and are useful almost everyday are:

Amp bedstep
Tonneau cover
oem bed mat
driver side grab handle
rear sway bar
FRAC system

 

How is the install on that bed step? From what I’ve heard it’s a massive pain. Is that true?

 

what is FRAC?

 

I watched some YouTube’s and thought it would be, so I ponied up and paid dealer.

 

Front and rear anytime camera. Less than 200 bucks.

 

Not at all provided that you just cut the stock bracket on the bumper rather than replace it.

 

Thanks

 

Sorry Man, I missed this question - I have zero squeaks or noise from the installation. I'm very happy with the product and the convenience. The install took me 2 hours, but I was very careful with the measuring and cutting. I could do it now in 30 minutes.
