    Saw this 2020 1794 in Scottsdale AZ last Saturday. Worked out a deal and Sunday morning I flew out from Burbank and was back home in Granada Hills by 4:30pm. Didn't stop at all since I wanted to catch the game.

    Already ordered the painted grill surround with the platinum insert. The bulge is out of stock! I also ordered the oem paintable caps.

    In my cart I have the trd sway bar but unsure if I will see a difference if I have airlift air bags? Also any worries about the trd dual exhaust being in the way?

    The 2019 Tacoma SR5 already has a deposit and the buyer is coming on Sunday. Had it since new but after driving the Tundra for a week, I can't believe I waited this long.

    Nice, I believe you'd posted this on Reddit as well a few days ago.

    I can't say on your specific application of the TRD RSB, but it's hands down one of the best mods I've done for on road behavior.

    Yep, that was me. I was so excited signing the paperwork. Then I remembered this forum today.

    Everything I read about the RSB sounds great. Just hoping someone else that has a similar set up chimes in.

    I'm pretty sure you'll like it here more, I certainly do. Much more level headed folks in this format, and a wealth of knowledge.

    that’s a steal! I just got my 2016 one owner 75k mile tundra too. What’s funny is I bought a Tacoma long time ago private party in Arizona and when I came to aaa here in ca they made me weigh it and the Arizona title doesn’t have a place where you put the price since they don’t charge sales tax for vehicle sales like they do in commiefornia

    Bad ass. Better late than never.

    I wish that I had went with a remote reservoir instead of a piggy back on my rear Kings. Crawling under the truck sucks ass at times.

    I have Borla dual exhaust (same pipe run as TRD) RSB, and airbags and nothing is even close to interference. Yes TRD RSB makes a huge difference in handling especially if your bags are plumbed together.

    I got it from a dealer. Paid them 8.x% tax and will pay the difference when I go to AAA. Hopefully I can get it all done in one trio and not need to weight it.

    Ya they tax you off your zip code in California I was just pointing out Arizona residents and I’m sure a lot of other states as well don’t pay any sales tax

    also in ca all pickups are commercial vehicles so if your rig has never been registered in ca and I’m assuming the original owner never moved or lived here then they’ll want you to weigh it because they want to know how much more to tax you based on your weight

    Niiiiiiiiiiiiiize truck. And welcome to the varsity team!

    Like the facsimile, then e-mail and then cell phones you'll install the rear anti-sway bar, look in the mirror and ponder unto yourself: how IN THEE hell did I get by so long without one of these????

    Then when you're feeling really frisky you can install the front TRD anti-sway bar. And then go about embarrassing BMW 3-series on freeway cloverleafs.

    Man you weren't kidding.

    Next week I'm receiving: OEM black headlights, OEM painted Platinum grill, TRD Sway Bar

    Already received, oem unpainted bumper end caps and painted hood bulge since ssm wasn't available.

    Also got the Motorola wireless adapter and AVS low profile Visors.

    I am really enjoy reading this as I am in the same boat…. Looking for a 1794 Tundra and planning upgrades.

    Can you list each mod you are planning? Doing? Thanks!

    Thanks, it already has some nice upgrades. Here's the list

    1. Kings suspension with Icon UCAs
    2. Air Lift Bags with Wireless One Compressor
    3. Retrax Pro Bed Cover
    4. Amp Research Powersteps
    5. TRD Exhaust
    6. Ceramic Window Tint
    7. Power Tow Mirrors

    Here is what I'm doing or have done. Not in order.
    7. Chrome delete front end with painted replacements, not covers. (Ordered and working on it) I personally like the chrome in the interior so I'm only doing the front end.
    8. OEM black headlights instead of chrome (ordered)
    9. AVS Window Visors (installed)
    10. Wireless Carplay/android auto (installed)
    11. ESP under seat storage (ordered). I hate how I don't have a place to put my straps and tools like my Tacoma!
    12. Amp and sub upgrade (about to order). Driving the truck with all the windows down feels like a convertible...but you can't hear your tunes.
    13. Wireless charger (need to find best option)
    14. Phone charging cable for rear seat passengers (I want to do a clean install coming from the arm rest). I have kids.
    15. Inverter with plugs in the bed and cab.
    16. Replace 33" E rated tires with 35s C rated. Es are harsh and I want more sidewall.
    17. Skid plates. I doubt I will be rock hopping. All I ever did with my Tacoma was fire roads exploring and camping. But I might as well get them since I want cat shields.

    What are you thinking here? I assume your truck has JBL, no? No clue what you're looking to do, but wanted to provide some feedback. I like plug n play, no splicing and OEM+ (factory HU for example). I reached out to James with tech12volts. Grabbed his JBL DSP amp, his sub and box. Now admittedly I'm not in my younger years any longer, nor trying to attract the ladies at the beach with my windows down, cruising. But this setup for around $800 included everything I needed. No longer am I cranking up the stereo to 35+ to listen to something and drown out the 35's road noise.

    https://tech12volts.com/

    He's a 1 man shop, and isn't the fastest for responses. And his website has been in the middle of a redesign for a while so it's lacking. But shoot him an email with what you're wanting to do, and he'll get you squared away.
