    Good evening everyone!

    I just got my 2016 Tundra SR5/TRD-Offroad today and havent even gotten a chance to take pics yet. But boy shes a beauty and I got a killer deal. Paid MMR + TTT!!!! Anyway, I'm looking for ideas. First thing on my list is a Brush Guard. Then I'm thinking some side mirrors. Anyone have any recommendations on both. For mirrors I'm looking to do a conversion from standard mirrors to ones with an intergrated turn signal in the mirror itself. Anyone have and advice on an easy install?

    Next is a leveling kit, in my previous trucks I always had one installed. Is it necessary in a tundra? If so how much 2.5-3? or just 1.5?

    Then I'm also looking at doing a locking bed cover. Any advice on best fit and cost?

    Last but not least chrome side rails with step. (Wife is a shorty) What do you all recommend?

    Im excited to dive in feet first so any advice will be appreciated!!!!

    Welcome from Central Texas. My favorite brush bar that we ever owned (we had one in black and one in chrome) was a Westin HDX. It has bigger tubes on it, giving it a beefier look. The only picture I have is from an accident I had so it probably won't sell it for you. But it looks great on the front end of a non-crunched Tundra.IMG_0678.jpg

    Not sure. It's just called a Westin HDX Grille Guard. Autoanything has it (just checked). I may have bought mine from Amazon.
