    They are the chrome OEM steps with the black plastic inserts on top where you step.

    I am keeping them at the moment. May use them later may not. Not sure

    Headlights may not be cheapest, but my opinion makes a big difference. Exterior I added wheels, bull bar with integrated led, back rack, bed cover, trd pro grill. Tinted glass

    Which Amber LEDs did you add to the grill? Easy? I haven't messed with wiring anything, afraid I'll frig something up.

    I got a grill that already had the lights, paid $98 for it on eBay. I took the insert out and kept the original chrome surround though, just liked the way it looked better than the dark grey surround. Wired it into the side clearance lights.

    Those are the stock TSS wheels. The tire was a BFG KO2 285/55R20. This tire/wheel combo is stock for pretty much all TSS models in the south. The OPs truck looks just like mine, the day I bought it. I’ve since went to a Nitto 275/60R20

    What he said on tires and wheel size

    What’s the difference in the 275 60 R20’s?

    I did tufskinz center and door inserts and the “Tundra” radio insert in red to give that touch of TRD red. I did it because my truck is cement with the TRD Off-Road trim so I just wanted a hint of red on the interior to match the bed sticker and my “TRD” center caps. I like these interior mods because I get to look at it everyday I drive the truck.

    I was looking at those earlier on Amazon. They’re cheap and look very durable. Just wish I could get a different color trim.

    Thanks!

    https://www.tufskinz.com/ for the door and center console/cup holder inserts. I got the radio insert on eBay and the wheel center caps on Amazon.

    They have a few colors on the website but I’m not sure what your looking for. My wife got pink inserts for her 4Runner. The quality is durable and I like it a lot. Now when I throw my glasses or anything under the radio it doesn’t sound like plastic on plastic and it also does not slide. We will see how they hold up over time. The doors are a bit pricey at a $100 but the center kit is well worth it at $35. Plus they are cut when ordered so it takes about a week to ship.

    They are just a hair skinnier and an inch taller.. More sidewall. I wanted to fill the wheel well more.

    The least expensive mods I’ve done that made the most difference were color match handles and bedliner bumper caps. Just make sure to prep properly. 5A5D15D8-6441-4A4A-B709-2A6EB7063EE8.jpg 41949D43-17D9-43B2-91D7-B8920D3DCCA4.jpg DFCE79A5-F8D2-4538-990E-AFA492E2FDF3.jpg

    If you wanted to cover the chrome. I know vivid vinyl makes a wrap that is really close to mgm. I found it looking for cement color matching vinyl wraps
