    In my case, I did...

    Limo Tint
    Husky Weatherbeater floor mats
    5100s in front set @ 3rd notch
    BFG Ko2s 275/75/16
    Level 8 MK6 16s in Bronze with trd center caps
    Flushed 30' Lightbar
    MBRP 3' Catback drop
    Did not want to mess around with wiring, so I did SYLVANIA ULTRA H11 Headlights and Fogs

    I believe as of now, 6k miles later I need an ocd divider in my cubby. I also want to go 3 inches so i might do some OME 888s.

    Did my 1st oil change at 6k (because ai wanted to) you will need the filter wrench.

    The best investment so far has been the all weather mats. It removed the hassel of cleaning them so often. I love to detail my truck and have it spit shined.

    Everything else is on the back burner, in process for a new roof:annoyed:

    Quality Tires. That's it.

    Suspension upgrade only when stock needs replacing.

    Nothing else is more than preference, posing or for a specific use.

    But generally, just good tires. Most important mod on any vehicle.

    If you're really going to be off-roading, I suggest at least a 3" lift and bigger/better tires to get the important stuff up off the ground and more traction. Followed by a full set of armor. And of course rescue gear. A winch is your friend. I repeat. A winch is your friend. After that, it depends on what you want. RTT for an avid sportsman. Roof rack for a Kayaker/canoer/surfer/skier, Bed rack for mountain bikers and such. The possibilities are endless.

    What I have so far:
    - Husky floor liners, these fit perfectly. I had Weathertech on my 2011 Taco and those fit very well too but were slippery when wet.
    - Llumar tint all the way around. I wanted all the windows to come out with the same shade of tint. Also did the windshield in clear.
    - RokBlokz mud flaps - these are just flat pieces that can bend, and IMO don't look bad at all. I climbed a curb once with my 2011 and the right front mud flap hit the curb and tore off.
    - LED interior lights, just dome and map lights so far.

    Coming up:
    - nerf bar/steps - can't decide on Nfab or Westin. I want wheel-to-wheel with 3 step and it looks like only Nfab make them with round bars. The Westin is only 2 step and cab length with square tubes which I think would look better with the 2017's sharper lines. I had the Nfab 3 step ones on my 2011 and those looked great with the round bars.

    I would knock out your bright desires first, if you just want a leveling kit and have no plans for off-road shoot for that. Since it's just a leveling kit it will be a few hundred at most and then you can get your desired ride height.
