    Hello everyone, on tuesday I got a 2018 Tundra SR, traded in my 2015 Tacoma TRD Sport DCSB. I’ve been surprised as how well equipped it comes from factory for being a base model, that is comparing it to the 2015 Tacoma.

    As part of the deal I got some TRD Pro wheels (at slight discount) which should get here in about a week or two. I already had the rear doors and back window tinted with 3M tint and the door pillars done black with black satin 3M vinyl, like the other models have.

    In two weeks I have an appointment with a body shop to color match grill, mirror caps and bumpers.

    Future plans are Katzkin, led fog lights (suggestions welcome) and maybe leveling it with some bilsteins 5100. I like how quiet it is now with stock exhaust, I’m throwing around the idea of maybe do a electric bypass valve so that I can keep stock exhaust when I want to and reroute through another muffler dumped under the cab when I want some rumble.

    I’ll post a picture later today.

    Welcome! My buddy’s Corvette has the bypass, but he only uses it on long road trips.

    Yeah, I was browsing around summit racing trying to get some ideas, my other reason for keeping stock exhaust is MPG, my Tacoma took a hit when I changed the exhaust. I already put a few hundred miles on the Tundra and it has done better than I expected in fuel consumption.
