View Poll Results: What's the best Tundra accessory for under $500?
Re: What's the BEST single after-market accessory?
To me exhaust and air intakes are a waste of money, at least from a performance standpoint. Toyota does great engineering in these areas from the factory and the gains, if any, are not worth the cost.
Re: What's the BEST single after-market accessory?
While I'll concede that adding a custom exhaust probably doesn't help performance on the new Tundra, I think we'll see good power gains once some of the big names in intakes start producing cold air intake kits for the Tundra.
Intake is probably the only place you can still gain some hp on a new vehicle just because an unrestricted intake makes a lot of noise. You can also gain by pulling air from under the vehicle.
Re: What's the BEST single after-market accessory?
Having installed post delivery, Brushed Step Boards, Backup Camera, Tonneau Cover with tail gate seal, and a TRD Rear Sway Bar, I judge the Sway Bar to be the best value.
My Double Cab 5.7 handled quite well for a vehicle of its kind, however, the Sway Bar made a major improvement. The ride is about the same, the lean on corners is much less. The truck just feels better.
I found it interesting to not notice a difference in straight line feel. My 2002 Dakota felt much more "planted" after I installed a Bar. I suspect that the greater rigidity of the Tundra's frame accounts, at least in part, for that. I could feel the frame twist in the Dakota, on corners, but cannot detect same in the Tundra. The TRD Bar is well done. I think all Tundras should have one.
It cost me about $232.00 and less than an hour of my labor. I crawled under the truck in my garage - easy job, even for a retired engineer.
How many things can you add, for a couple of hundred dollars, that make a real fundamental improvement in your vehicle?

Where did you get the sway bar? I'd like to investigate that further...
Re: What's the BEST single after-market accessory?
Forget the sway bar, I wanna hear more about GGWODDY'S chrome nuts!
