    What’s up! I’m Braiden. I finally bought my first tundra! This 2017 1794 from a local dealer. Completely stock one owner. I’m stoked. Looking for ideas, I’m looking at the Billstein 6112 level + control arms and a smaller 17,18 wheel and BFG all terrain tire. However I kinda want to paint match most of the chrome and go with a grey or black wheel…Or bronze? Will you please post some photos to help me decide?

    *** Heart breaking update *** As I was headed to Ken Garff Ford in Saint George to pick this up my salesman informed me someone else bought it from under me. Mind you I already paid a deposit and had a written receipt!! I have been fighting them all day but it’s not looking good. The truck is sold and gone…dont ever trust Saint George utah dealers!

    Welcome from San Diego Braiden, and congrats on the nice new truck!!

    Nice color choice, you have excellent taste! :rolleyes:

    Be advised if looking at 17" wheels, there's only a select few that will fit over our big brake rotors. Method makes a couple, not sure what other brands.

    I personally don't care much for solid black wheels, but I like Black if it's got some contrast, like black with a machined surface for example. But it don't matter what I like, only what appeals to you)

    If I were to get aftermarket wheels I'd go for Gunmetal gray.

    I thought about powdercoating my TRD wheels but I like 'em well enough as is I don't wanna' spend the money. I did post a thread asking about powdercoat though.

    Here's like 80+ pages of Silver Tundra stuff you can browse to see what you like.

    I dunno' what you have in the back under the topper, but I love, LOVE the full bedrug! Things stay where you put them, and it's got nice cushion to it when you have to get up in there and crawl around.

    A really useful and inexpensive mod is to run power to the bed for a 12V receptacle, USB, and then some LED strips for lighting.

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! Black wheels look really good with the silver Tundras. And the chrome actually looks good on silver as well, just not on other colors.

    First step is a supercharger. Everything else is gravy. ;)

    I am pretty sure spending a few hours scrolling HERE will spend all of the money you are willing to part with.

    Oh, and call @memario1214 when you go looking for parts.
