If you ever tow or haul heavy loads, the best two mods I've done were the Hellwig swaybar and the firestone sport rite air springs. Completely happy with both.

Buddy, we have a ton of people here who can spend your money but you have to tell us what the purpose of your truck is. Is it an offroader, street queen, do you have leather seats, tinted windows, led lights, HIDs, clear corners, bedliner, new shocks, leveling kit, lift kit lowering kit, big rims, big tires, supercharger, air filter, air lockers, new horns, new interior lights, new dash lights, updated tail lights, led tail lights, new rear window hinges, new grill, new winch bumper, new remote start, new tool box, new camper shell, new bed cover, new door speakers.... I mean we can really do a lot if you tell us where you want to go with it.

What is your budget?

Do you have any current pictures of your truck?

college student budget- window tint about ($100), dual exhaust about ($350) Euro taillights about ($150).

my preferences:
window tint, dual exhaust, Intake system, spray in liner, LED interior and exterior lighting, euro taillights, billet grille, wheel and tires, step bars.

A lift kit would be nice but make sure that you are purchasing a quality lift and not some cheapo that will cause problems later on down the road.

There are so many upgrades that you can do to your truck.

Check out peoples photo albums to get ideas.

also, check for any major rust on the frame and body before you do any major upgrades otherwise its not worth the money then.

for billet grilles look at Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories wholesale to the public.

For a great sound (loud) on your exhaust do an 18" glasspack and y it out to directions in the back. Click on my link in my sig for that one. That will cost less than $200

for less sound but a mean growl do the same thing with an 18" magnaflow

here is a link to when I put my magnaflow...one of the posts has a link to my youtube clip. as soon as the wind dies down here in OK I'll post a clip with the glasspack.

" My Magnaflow Journey " 4.0 V6 Tundra AC

You can get stainless step bars from Mechanics Warehouse Truck Accessories is our Specialty I got mine less than any place on the net and they were easy install. check out that link in my sig as well.

Welcome to the site and congrats on a great truck.

My first exhaust was $275 and was a knockoff flowmaster muffler with dual pipes w/ tips that exited at a 45* angle on each side. The exhaust I have now is another knockoff flowmaster with a turndown which only cost $100. If you can't find an exhaust for under $600, your looking in the wrong places.
