Picking up my first Tundra next week. What accessories?

Welcome from Oregon

These are what I put on my '18 CM Limited. I'm really happy with them.
As for other mods...I added window visors, bedrug bed liner, push bar (off my '13 Tundra, it was chrome, but I had it powder coated black), front window tint, LED bed lights, and my absolute favorite mod is my 8" BAMuffler exhaust!

 

Thanks for all the replies. I will try and get some more pictures today when I get the chance. Even though it came from the factory with the upgraded floor mats, I think they don't cover enough and I will be ordering Husky Liners as they have better coverage, front and back.

The truck already has the LED headlights so no need for that upgrade.

I am not a radio guy or audiofile and I turned on the radio yesterday just to hear how it sounded. It sounded pretty good to me. The only down side is I don't get the traffic or weather where I live.

I will do the 5100's to help level, but that will be in the future. I have them in my 85 pickup and like the ride.

@SouthBoundSteve Hook me up will all the detail knowledge, or point me in the right direction. This is something I definitely would like to do.

Right now I need some steps, but would rather have sliders that can be used as steps. I will not be offroading so I will not be coming down hard on them. I just want them to bolt to the frame and like the look better. I like the All-Pro but the are angled up. I like the white knuckle ones, but I am very hesitant to drill 10 holes in my frame. The salt here would kill the fame in a few years. I see SDHQ ones have good reviews, but there is no fill plate and they are angled up. What ever I get, I will probably get them in the white and have them line-xed when I get the bed done.

Are there other ones I should look at that would be bolt on, flat and have fill?

I like the bed rail system, but if I get the bed Line-Xed, will the mounting holes be filled in?

Front rear anytime camera. This truck needs a front camera cus it’s so big.

Bed mat - keep stuff from sliding around

Gorhino RB10 are the steps I have. Nice and wide. My 3yr old gets up/down my truck and it has a 3/1 lift.

 

This is actually one of my favorite mods and I use it everyday.

Love the simple key.

 

My 2018 came with predator step bars, check them out they are pretty nice! I went with the Bak Revolver X2 tonneau cover. Rolls up so you don’t lose a 1/3 of your bed like most folding covers, supports 400lbs of weight and best of all no Velcro! But I strongly support a leveling kit for the front and 295/70/18 makes a world of difference.

 

Husky floor liners, led interior lights, and drive the shit out of it.

 

I got the front Husky's in yesterday and should get the back ones and the bed mat in today. It seems weird that the passenger mat has a hole near the back for hold down tabs, but my truck does not have the tabs. Do other Tundra models have one tab to hold the passenger mat in place?

 

Husky’s are meant to be used without the small fabric mats, so you make a hole in the bedding carpet. Did you get the rear ones that go right under the seat? I knew I wasn’t getting under-seat storage, love my Husky’s.

 

The Amp Research power steps are amazing and when stowed are barely noticeable. Keeps ground clearance in place for light wheeling and drop lower than a fixed step. They are pricey but hell, they got the MIL's seal of approval which sure saves my sanity.

 

I am not using the the factory mats underneath. The drivers side has the little tabs the hold the mat in place, but it looks like the passenger side Husky mat has a single hole for the same thing, but no factory tab. The factory mats also do not have a hole in that location where the Husky liner has it.

I got the rear mat that goes all the way back. With car seat in the back for the kids, under seat storage is not a priority as it would be hard to access, for now. When I do add storage, I will cut the back of the mats to fir around the storage.

 

I got the OEM steps for my wife/kids at a reduced cost. If I were to do it again, I’d get the aftermarket retractable ones. Stubby antenna is cool, you’ll lose a bit of reception though, I mainly use USB or my phone. Is your bed lined? I also have a Diamondback cover.

+1 on 295/70R18’s! Nitto RG’s on Method Mesh

 

Which OEM steps do you have? I have not seen the ones in your picture offered by Toyota. My bed is not lined, but I plan on having it sprayed with Line-X.

 

Do you have Husky’s stove knob screw? That goes in the mat hole. Make a hole in the stock carpet underneath and it’ll grab better.

 

Congrats on that beauty. Awesome color.

The only downside I read about AMP steps is their tendency to freeze during winter. For that reason alone, I will not be getting them any time soon (Perhaps when and if I move to a warmer region). Moreover, I like the factory steps for the protection they give against these door dingers.

 

Yes, they’re hard to find googling, the part# is in Toyota’s dealership system. Show them a blow up of my pic, just know it’s plastic.

I also like Magnum Nerf bars, they make nice bumpers. My family would hate those shin bangers lol

 

Congrats... that red is hot! I just picked up a set of wheel to wheel steps from Luverne... https://www.luvernetruck.com/ though Real Truck.

...and in reading this thread lost another $20 because now I have to have this

$20 NaviShade Car Navigation Screen Protector. Fits Prius and Most 7" CD Slots- Only for models with CD above the GPS screen

On my 2012 I did a Toyota true dual exhaust. a level lift 2" on the front. 295-75\18. Cooper discoverer s/t maxx tires. Had to bend the shields under the cab to fit. Holy shit baby she is sweet. will post a pic soon

 

Interesting, those 2 levers go in the CD slot?

This would work too for $3, don't attach the 4 clips, use 3M 2-sided black tape along the 3 edges for a gapless install.
Ones with descriptions state 140x110mm, the area between the pillars where the Tundra LCD is 140mm long.
(not sure how clean it'll look, might be ghetto lol)

I have this, works well. If 2018 center console didn't change, should fit.

Thanks for all the responses. I have been looking at getting the deck rail system also. What tonneau covers work with this system. I am looking for a no drill tonneau cover.

 

Don’t “level” shit! Lift it and leave some rake

 

Depends on the tonneau

 

That's what I do because I tow and occasionally haul. People who do neither probably like the look of level, either that or they need to use air bags or springs. The stock rear suspension is soft and sags easy.

 

Very easy
I’m on my second set of stock leaf springs and will eventually replace with a little extra support

 

Bak revolver x2

 

So right now I am interested in the Bak Revolver x2 and the BakFlip MX4 Tonneau covers. Can the revolver 2 be easily taken off and not just rolled up?

 

It can be taken on off but not as easily as just pop it off. U would have to unbolt it

 

So I put in the husky liners and I just got the door edged guard and the black tail gate lettering in. I know when I go to put them on I should while with some alcohol, but any other tips for these? Any tips on getting the lettering on straight?
