    Head unit was a must for me right off the bat! It's funny how Toyota doesn't catch on and offer more up to date things like that. I can't stand the orange interior lights, lol... just looks like it's from the mid 80's

    A/C drain re-route (got that thing off the frame), and relentless tailgate reinforcement.

    Preventative maintenence before mods for me.

    TRD supercharger after 5 days of ownership. I figured if I didn't do it now I never would!

    A few small mods are next on the list before suspension.

    How easy is it to remove it? They stuck mine on crooked and it really bugs me, besides being on there. I have wanted to take it off, but didn't want to pop the paint off too.

    My 2011 was certainly ahead of its time. It had an aux port and a single-line display! Talk about high tech!

    Depends on the dealer. Some use stickers, some use some sort of plaque. Either way, a hair dryer, possibly some fishing line, and goo gone will take care of it. It won't take the paint with it.

    Like the AP Bumper, you should post up some pix of the dipped parts, I would like to see how they turned out.

    Hair dryer and fishing line or dental floss is a great fix, goo gone or wd40 will definitely handle any left over residue from the adhesive. I have removed badges and dealership stickers on every vehicle I've purchased using these techniques.

    I ordered my Fold-a-cover G4, Dash Designs Windshield Shade, and Weathertech in-channel visors before the truck arrived. Took all badging and stickers off the afternoon I got it and installed the bed cover and visors that night. Got the front windows tinted the next day.

    Picking up a set of 5100s (front and rear) with OME 886 springs along with 1/4 spacers in the morning, super stoked!

    You sure those 886's won't be kind of harsh w/o the weight of a bumper up front?

    I haven't made up my mind if I will hold off installing the coils until I have the bumper and just run the 5100s front/ rear for now.

    All mods were for preservation purposes.....so far. The good mods will come later.
    Weathertechs to protect carpet, window tint to reduce horrendous Fl. sun from cooking me and interior. Synthetic oils in running gear, rear diff mod, a/c drain, door sill protectors, rubber mat for bed, screening behind grill, UG for engine monitoring, etc.
    Modest lift and tires are forthcoming.
