    Fog light mod, JBA LT headers, drop-in k&n filter, energy bushings, tried fold topper, 2nd air filter removed, all new stereo system minus subs, plastisol the wheels.
    I just built and priced one on there site.
    I just wanted the pop lock tailgate and the rest that's standard is awesome.
    All the rest is way to over priced.
    The one I built was going to be 43k and I'd pay that in a heart beat... But I'm not great with money, thank god my wife is or i'd be living out of that truck.

    Congrats OP, wish I could get one but that won't happen anytime soon.

    Mine got off the truck Thursday. In cement as well. I am doing different wheels - stock tires & wheels are for sale. Anyone have any alternatives to the factory hood scoop? I'm not a fan. I have to say, the suspension is amazing. Had a 2016 TRD Off-Road prior and this truck rides much better.

    My truck arrived at the dealer last Saturday but I am out of town until the 17th so I am having to wait.

    I was going to have the dealer install a trifold bed cover until I got the price. $1150. Ouch! I'll be buying a tonneau cover online.

    Or search Craigslist, somewhere, someone has one that came on their truck that they do not want.

    Good idea. Man, the dealers can sure suck the cash out of your wallet. I sunk $595 into activating the Sky Link vehicle tracking system. Then I thought, "Damn, that was a lot!" I bought it because my truck will be out of state at times so it will be good to know it's safe and sound when I am not around, but there is obviously some serious markup at that price point.

    Congrats on your truck. What wheels and tires are you going to go with, and for what purpose (e.g., for appearance or b/c of the terrain you'll be on). Also, are you getting a bed cover? That's the next step for me.

    Check out the Falken Wildpeak AT3/W's. I put a set on mine this past weekend and I really like them.

    Somehow quoted my own post. Last question was directed to Jagged155 about wheels and bed cover. Of if someone else has input on a good trifold tonneau that will fit the 2017 TRD Pro Taco.

    It only took 5 weeks, but finally took delivery of the new Tacoma TRD Pro and am attaching some photos. It's a sweet truck. The one thing I don't like is the running boards, which really serves no purpose other than to make it more difficult to get in and out. Apart from that, very pleased and I'll likely get used to the RBs.

    There was no previous buyer. I bought this truck mid-Aug before the first TRDP rolled off the line. The running boards were a dealer ordered option for the truck. While I think they look kind of cool, unless you're 4' tall the serve no purpose at all.
