    Got a nice bump in pay.

    I already got a hard cover tri-fold tonneau, which I figured would be my most expensive purchase.

    Looking at maybe getting

    MRBP exhaust. I like the sound, and it's only $200

    Baja LED fogs + SR5 bezels: $400? I think

    OVtune: really would like to wait until things settle and there is more feedback from the initial buyers. 700?

    TRD pro rims plus new tires $1500?

    Any other suggestions?

    I am leaning more towards the exhaust and Baja LEDs more than anything else

    If you listen to music. Check out the threads on the easy tweeter install and the cheap speaker install. For a couple hundred bucks you can make a significant improvement in sound quality. I hardly listened to music in my truck because I hated the sound. And I get free Sirius. After doing both and some sound deadening, now I really enjoy listening to music in the truck. I crank it up.
    What you spend your money on though depends on what you want out of your truck. Both how it looks and its ability to do what you want. There are so many great trucks in this forum. Spend some time seeing what others have done. The what have you done to your third generation thread is a great place to start. Decide what works for you in your price range.
    Unfortunately or fortunately there are so many cool mods you won't have any trouble finding things to spend money on
    Just ask my empty wallet.

    Wheels and tires! Nothing transforms the look of a truck more than that. Just get aggressive tires.

    If you pay extra on your truck(unless it's paid for already) it would be less interest you pay back to the bank.
