    I'm considering TRD cold air intake. Any thoughts other than sounds and looks cool? I don't expect extra HP, but I have to imagine it helps airflow. Also, thoughts on a sway bar? Looks cool, but decreases ground clearance. Worth it?

    Truck already has a decent air box that pulls in cold air from outside the engine bay. What you will get is a different filter, louder noise and decrease in low end torque.

    There are those that really love the Sway bar and those that didn't like it. I think popularity sways toward liking and recommending it.

    I think for mostly street driving the sway bar is great but if you go off road often you might not like it.

    Depends on how much wheeling you plan on doing. A few guys on here with sway bars can weigh in. I don't feel the need for em on my PRO.

    to remove your sway bar with those squishy trd pro coils i would be weary but people do it all the time for that extra travel with upgraded coilovers.

    i agree before you do anything to it just enjoy the hell out of it for what it is. Save some money then slowly watch your bank account trickle into your truck addiction.

    Windows tinted! Go Rhino running boards are the best IMO. Waiting for Diamondback Tonneau. Then I'm set for a while...long drive it is!

    You won't be sorry. Got them here:

    http://m.autoanything.com/nerf-bars/go-rhino-rb10-running-boards

    On sale and worth every penny. I've had toyota boards in the past, and they all fell short in my opinion.
