    Add TRD Pro grill Add 5100 Bilstein shocks front and back at highest setting Add Toy Tech Shackles on the rear Add Grid GD-1 +15 offset rims Add Toyo Terra Grappler 305/60R18's Add Katzkin leather seats (Original seats were UGLY)! Add rubber bed mat (free from dealership) Add cargo bed lights Add tint (legal) to the windows
    I joined this site back in Aug 17th. I used this site to research, ask questions, pick peoples brain, whatever I could do to determine the truck I wanted and how I wanted to make it look! I ended up ordering my truck stock from the warehouse and added what I wanted, and saved a lot of money. Well after a lot of waiting the truck arrived in early November. I immediately drove over and took some pictures of it while still stock! Then once things were getting added I took more pics. I picked up the truck yesterday afternoon, and am still learning all the controls, the entune radio, and other computer stuff, but must say, I LOVE THIS TRUCK!!! After being in a stock 06' Tacoma all these years, its great to be in a full size truck again!! All the talk about big or small engine, wasn't a deal to me, I went with the 4.6 and it's plenty of power for me. So no more talking, and here are the before and after pics.

    So then we starting added some things like:
    TRD PRO Grill
    5100 Bilstien shocks front and back on highest setting
    Toy Tech Shackles on the back
    Grid GD-1 wheels, with a +15 off set
    305/60R18 Toyo Terra Grapplers
    Katzkin leather seats (God the originals were ugly)
    Tinted the windows (went as dark as legally could)
    Cargo lights
    Rubber bed mat (had that thrown in for free)
    and some $20 black WalMart carpet floor mats till I order my Weathertechs
    And here is her current state of mind!!!

    Like I said, since I didn't actually put the stuff on I didn't think it should in the "builds" forum. Figured I post it here for all to see! Thanks for looking, and Thanks to all yall for all the help and all the great ideas!! I still have a few more things I want to do, but it will be awhile till they happen. So for now this is it, I will just enjoy driving it, and getting to learn all the controls inside this thing!!!

    Nice! Congrats.

    It's just too bad you live in Killeen, ha. I grew up in Florence, so I spent more time in Killeen than I ever wanted.

    I'm from there, I graduated High School from Killeen, my parents still live in Harker Heights. I had been looking for a truck for a while and my family was visiting my parents. My dad and I went truck shopping one afternoon, which is nice because as you know all those dealerships are right off 190 there. Anyway decided I liked the Tundra and they had what I wanted, turns out it was a '16 model and they gave me a good deal so I got it.
