    Welcome from DFW! I would say a must have is the FRAC! It won't bust your wallet either! @TundraTex makes them!

    First Mod is to Modify this Thread with a picture of your Tundra. Second is the most important..... get the HUSKY floor mats, NOT the Weather Techs... I made that mistake.
    Check with this forum regularly, they have great ideas, and plenty of experience. I would do a search of what you want to buy on here before you actually go out and buy it. Also this place has vendors, they will also be able to help you with what you need.... not everything, but a lot of things. Ask the forum questions, people on here are decent guys and gals they may be able to help or direct you to a thread that you couldn't find.

    I actually have husky all weather floor mats, stubby antenna and rugged tires on tss rims (non peeling) I had a trifold cover for the bed but got rid of it and gonna plan on getting the diamondback cover. Havent really done much to the truck other then that. Ill try to snap a picture on Monday for sure.

    Would like to get a cold air intake to pull in more cool air. HOUSTON is hot AF. But my first step is bed rails.


    THANKS TO EVERYONE BTW!

    I would look into the cold air intakes. I heard some good but more bad than anything else. Maybe sticking with a TRD CAI is the best idea if you're going to get one, IDK if that was the CAI you were referring to though.

    Welcome form CO. Your Tundra comes with a cold air intake. Take a closer look. Some aftermarket CAI's actually suck in hot air from the engine compartment. Don't waste your money if you think you will get worthwhile HP gains. They sound cool.

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Welcome from Las Vegas. One thing I will add to our vendors on this site is most of them have discounts for forum members. Always ask them.
