    So there are overlays for the chrome emblems, "Tundra" the "5.7" emblem and I see you have the "SR5". That's what i'm talking about. I ordered mine from here...https://yotaxpedition.com/collections/2g-toyota-tundra-blackout-kits
    I did also order the tailgate black lettering as well.

    Also, if you look at my last picture (where I show the new wheels) I had peeled off the black trim pieces between the front and rear windows. They are just vinyl (like tape) and peel right off. They are really stuck on and it helps if it is warm outside but they come off with no issues (with a lot of pulling and patience).

    First mods were all within 48 hours of one another. Rust proofing, predator side steps, cat shield, and grab handle.

    Like many, I have a longggg wish list ahead. This site is horrible for the wallet. Lol

    I couldn't agree more! It's burning a deep hole in my wallet and is never ending. I see you have a TRD Sport as well. Is yours crewmax? Lets see it. Would like to see the predator side steps.

    Oh wow! If you didn't say anything, I wouldn't have even known. It looks way better than it would with the black trim.

    Yup, crewmax was a must for us with 3 kids and endless amounts of kids junkPXL_20231111_161833511.jpg

    I don't love these wheels. I'll be on the prowl for either Pro takeoffs and the limited wheels, that I would PC black. I'll get that done before next winter

    Oh man, that's an awesome looking truck! I have the same but mines MGM. I just posted in the "what did you do today" thread that I added the grille LEDs and a very tiny mod of painting the Toyota emblem on those wheels. It makes the emblem pop out a bit plus I'm working on dechroming my truck. I don't have immediate plans to change out my wheels just yet but I'm pretty sure later on down the road I will do that. Your truck would look awesome blacked out with a bit of red TRD accents. I just received my TRD grille badge today so I'll be slappin that on tonight.

    Oh nice! I saw those LEDs you added, looks sharp for sure!

    I'm hoping when the time comes I can sell these wheels and offset the cost a bit.

    First mod for me was new BFG KO2's. When I bought the truck it had Mickey Thompson Mud terrain tires on it. Drove it from TN to CO and I had to keep my speed in check because it felt like I was driving a boat with those tires on the freeway. Changed the tires the day I after I got home. The rears had almost 50% wear on them compared to the still almost new fronts. That same week I proceeded to order an ARE MX topper, a center console organizer, a set of weathertech's and thought I would be done for the winter. I still had plans of adding 5100's, and Firestone airbags because that's basically how I had my 06 set up and then I would be done. However, I found this website that winter and the mods haven't stopped and I still have a growing list. I keep telling my wife; but it's my midlife celebration truck...

    It depends, if you want to start with things that don't cost much start with a grab handle if you don't have one on the driver's side. Makes getting in the truck much easier. My second mod was tinted windows. I only matched the rear window tint to keep the truck somewhat cooler in the summer. Then you could up grade you floor mats, I went with Husky, they were a huge improvement. There just a couple of things that won't cost you much but will make your truck more yours.

    I think I just may have to do the grab handle mod on my truck. It'll definitely come in a bit handy when and if I lift the truck a little bit. Not gonna go extreme on the lift though.
