I would prolly start with a TRD cold air for that truck, 50 state legal and a warranty as long as your trucks if the dealer installs it.

Sparks Toyota

Theres a link to it, look around on there and you may find a lot of other things that may be to your liking.........

I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have, just shoot me a pm or email or what ever.....

Look through all the pictures in the sticky for post your tundra picks... then search on wheels and go from there... there are LOTS to see and pick from.

easy mods: again, lots out there. performance: i suggest CAI and Exhaust, let the growl out of your engine for everyone to hear. imho.

I have a "to do" list of things i want and will do to my truck eventually, all found from this forum.

later

Post a picture of your truck.. let us see what wheels and tires you currently have... then I'm sure you'll get some suggestions..
Performance wise, like "Override" said ... CAI and Exhaust..
Summers comming, and you'll need a list of things to do...

Congrats on your Tundra ..

Yuppp CAI and exhaust is just bout the most popular, (and almost all you can do).

Personally, I have Borla exhaust. Wanted a CAI but now I doubt I'll get one. I've had my time for performance and now I'm packing an extra, approximately, 300 lbs over a stock 4wd.

People have good things to say bout the TRD, but they also question their performance. The Volant is pretty good but they have some fitment issues. A few people (Third horse, I believe) has the aFe and likes his a lot. Someone on here has a K&N and it threw a code, so he is probably taking it off.

Good luck man!

Sequoia2003 has little shameless behaviour in the past.
Default Re: Can't Decide What to Do. HELP

If I had a 4x4 Tundra with a 5.7 this is what I would do.

1. Cold Intake
2. Dual Exhaust
3. New 18x9 inch wheels with 33 inch Mud Tires from Toyo
4. 4 inch lift up front and 2 in the rear.
5. Spray bed liner with diamond plate around the bed
6. TRD Brakes
7. Fab Four front and rear bumper with a 12.5k lb Warn Winch

Wheels and tires are cool, but make sure you lift the truck (or at least level it) so you get more bang for your buck. After market rims and tires stand out more on lifted/leveled trucks than stock.

However, if it were me, I'd do the exhaust and save the rest for the S/C...that's your best performance dollar after the exhaust system.
