    Guys - I totaled my 2011 Tundra (RIP- Big Black) in the rain about 6 weeks ago. Last week I brought home the "Gray Ghost" - my 2017 5.7 v8 CMax 4x4. It is metallic grey w/ 20 in rims and BFG All Terrain tires. Blacked out badges all around.
    Yesterday my TRD Catback exhaust, fender flares and leather seats were installed - went with dark graphite leather double stitched in red. It looks KICK ass!
    Anyway, glad to be back in a Tundra, my wife's Jeep was killing my ego.
    Planned mods:
    Headlight - probably Spyder Lights
    Bucket Fix - I need some storage solution for the console
    Exterior Cab light - I want to change the exterior cab light to LEDs to match my LED bed lights
    Underseat storage - I hate the back seat doesn't fold foward anymore.
    Black out grill - get rid of the chrome some how!

    Looking forward to learning from all your mods!

    Welcome from CO!
    Regarding underseat storage, hit up @havasubud
    I also added some ammo cans in my bed for additional storage. (Build in my sig)
    grill- either paint or just order a color matched one (or Pro) from @HasAllToyotaPartsPossible

    And here are some after pics of Big Black, totaled 10/13/16. Wet roads, dark, cornering while headed up an incline. Driven the road for 13 years and BAM, it bit me. 6 weeks recovery from cracked ribs and bruised ego.
    Since my wreck I have seen 2 other trucks crashed in same location.
