    How many of you use you Tundra as a daily driver, versus a dedicated recreational rig?

    Show me some your favorite mods for a daily driver!!!

    Mines both. I use my tundra as a DD and have it built enough for trips to my hunting/fishing grounds as well as trips to the AR mountains. Nothing major

    Just a Toytec BOSS setup cranked to 3”
    Toyo AT2’s
    Method Roost wheels
    And thinking of AUX backup lights

    Mine is a daily driver (commute, driving to construction sites/meetings etc. for work, and weekend family vehicle). I put about 30,000 miles a year on it.
    No major mods - small mods include Husky floor liners, tonneau cover, steps, rear seat ESP storage, center console organizers. Truck came with bed liner, tinted windows.
    I plan on getting slightly bigger tires and leveling kit, but that's about it.
    It works great for what I need it for the way it is.

    Mine is a daily driver. New phone so most of my pics are on old phone.

    Best mod is ceramic coat by far. Makes truck look awesome longer between washes, makes washing easier, and helps protect some from UV rays damaging paint.

    Best looking mod is dechroming. Truck looks completely different with pro grill, color matched bumpers, and blacked out badges and door handles.

    Other mods for daily driver would be lighting, inside and out for new LEDs

    Daily driver. These were a major plus, especially for the vertically challenged in my family. They're the Tyger Blade steps (DC only, no CM).

    The '02 on the left is my dedicated work truck, the Super White '07 on the right is my daily driver. The favorite mod on the '07 is the complete rear only lowering kit from SOS performance, TOYO tires and DAP tune.

    Daily driver with many mods. My commute is now 50 miles round trip. Looking into a commuter car, but that is annoying the wife. Probably gonna use public transport as much as I can. Save the miles and wear and tear.

    Daily driver 10 mile round trip to clinic, however (and this is the real beauty of this vehicle), its the camping/fishing trips (May through September) at our #1 rated smallmouth fishery that this thing shines. Lots of miles on unimproved Native American back roads (Jeep trails). I don't know whats more fun, tagging into some decent size smallmouths, or driving on the roads just getting there. In any event fun times with a fun vehicle. A few photos showing the road conditions or lack there of.
