    Welcome :wave:

    What areas do you see your truck lacking where it needs improvement? What's your goal here?

    gotta have an end goal or at least some kind of plan. once you start hard to stop. lots of things are interconnected somewhat and if you do one thing you probably are gonna want to do more or have to do more to make stuff work.

    You already have a CAI from the factory. Save your money. The aftermarket bits make more noise, and, well, that's it.

    Yep, what @eccracer104 says right below.

    I suggest you use the truck as is. When you find something lacking for how you use it, then consider a mod to improve that.

    Do your 'build' for how the truck is used 80-90% of the time. Not what you 'might do' someday. It will help with your enjoyment factor.

    Welcome, and thank you for your service!

    Welcome. Good advice above, no doubt.
    However, If you're just itching to buy though, we just looked up a few of the most common purchases to give you some ideas ...

    We show....
    Ez Down Tailgate Opening
    DB Customz Grille Insert - Customizable and many to choose from, but there is a bit of a backlog until after November week 1 more than likely
    Bed Cleats
    Tuffy Bed Security Box
    Door Sill Protectors
    All Pro Bumpers - if you'll be going off-road or just want protection
    TRD Pro Style Black Wheels 17" x 7

    The list goes on of course, but this might whet your whistle???

    I picked up a new grill from tacomagrilles.com, in channel vent visors, weather tech floor mats front and rear from the group buy, redline hood struts from the group buy and a behind the seat molle panel from @docloco. Still need to get a bedmat and a few other things.
