    Hey Everybody,

    I just purchased a 2014 Tundra SR5 TSS from my brother in Oklahoma and brought it home to Texas. I am wanting to do some upgrades and would like some advice. From what I have read already, the first upgrade should be the cold air intake. I am also looking into a tonneau cover or decked storage system. I am undecided about the lift or leveling kit too. Any input is welcome.

    Thanks, ColeIMG_5031.jpg IMG_5030.jpg

    Welcome Cole. You can change the filter in the OEM CAI that you've already got. For your lift, just depends on how you use your truck.

    Welcome from eastern CO! I’d suggest contacting at @ToyTec Lifts when you’re ready on the lift, I’m running their Radflo 2.5 coilovers and 2.0 BOSS shocks and am pretty happy with em.

    Thanks man, Do you have a recommendation on the filter? K&N? I didn't know it had a CAI already.

    Sorry, I don't have a recommendation. I'm running a TRD filter. You can change the OEM filter (TRD is an example) to get slightly better airflow. K&N might be better too, I don't know. Toyota didn't leave a whole lot of room for increased performance. Headers and exhaust together, SC..... That's about it from what I've read. You can get a tune that will change the shift points and it's a lot more like diving around in Tow Haul mode.
