    Retrax tonneau cover, Elevate bed rack
    Hey all, I recently made the switch from a 23 TRD Pro Tacoma to a 2023 1794 edition Tundra - I needed the extra space for family hauling. So far I (mostly) love the truck, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can because I hope to keep her for a while!

    Pictures to come - I added a retrax tonneau cover and am recycling the Elevate bed rack from a Sierra I owned before, but looking into adding recovery points, potentially a stealth bumper, new running boards/slides, roof rack, etc.

    I plan on using it for family hauling, camping, fishing/hunting, and general house tasks (lumber, tools, furniture, dump runs, etc.) so any advice is always greatly appreciated!

    Right on man!
    I did the same and think it'd be interesting to poll how many made the same move.
    Welcome to the group and congrats on the new whip!
