    Hello all...Just picked up a 2017 SR CrewCab. Like it so far. Have been lurking/reading in the forums for a while...finally made account. Looking for advice/suggestions on few essential mods.

    Sooner than later mods: Intermittent wiper switch, Window tint, Fog lights

    I have seen the fog light kits on eBay (price seems reasonable)...Is there a better kit you would recommend instead?

    Later mods: Wheels and leveling kit.

    Anything you think I should do now?

    Thanks.

    Thanks Will do. Last truck was a 15 year old Ranger that a lady decided to hit me at a red light and total. It is nice having a new truck.

    Did you get the convenience package?

    If so you should be pre-wired for fogs, I'd look into that one.

    Truck looks great!

    I'm very close to ordering an SR but keep going back and forth between the SR and the SR5.

    What swayed ya?

    Congratulations! If possible, I recommend doing the wheels and tires right away. Drastically improves the appearance of the truck, plus the stock SR tires are shit.

    Derp, didn't look at date of OP. Those T4R wheels look so much better than the stock steelies.

    Snug top Rebel, Thule tracks, ditch tracks, Bagged rear suspension, F/R anytime camera, intermittent wiper switch...
    The wiper switch mod takes all of 15 minutes, most of which is wrangling the covers off and locating the locking tabs, then it's all of a minute to put back together. Definitely do this before wet season. When reinstalling the covers start with the top one and position the center tab/snap (?) and push in/down to pop it in place then push the bottom cover up against it and secure it with the screws.
