    Alright guys, I am new to the Tundra world. I just got rid of my first gen taco because I needed a full size truck. I am just curious what you guys think are must do’s in the form of mods. Also what are the best options for wheels, I really like the look of the trd pro wheels but I can’t seem to find any local. I do have the V6 sadly so I don’t want an exhaust on the truck. But I would love any ideas/suggestions you guys have! Thank you in advance!

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

    There are several threads for mods ideas. This thread will give you WAY more ideas than you have money, even if you are Jeff Bezos!

    In the past 14 years, floor mats, bed mat, bed cover, vent visors, and most recently, a 22" light bar.....That's It! (edit: also AirLift air bags and brake controller)
    I keep it clean and maintained, and expect another 14 years of reliable service.

    If you don't have a Toyota TRD rear sway bar on that truck in two weeks time then.......you need to turn in your man card.
