    My earliest mods out of the gate were:

    Tailgate theft lock
    Glove box divider
    Center console tray
    OEM all weather mats

    Personally, though I’d wait a little before making big mods. I changed my mind a few times during the process after seeing new options, and found myself doing a few things twice. It’s a good idea to spend a while on the forum and see what’s out there.

    Speaking of which... my 2009 has what looks like a secondary mesh air filter that the replaceable filter presses up against. Does anyone remove this and what is the benefit or risk? At first glance it looks like it would put up a fight to get it out.

    Cut mine out of my 2016 with a razor. I gained like 62hp & 30 ft/lbs torque

    :D

    I think you're being serious although I'm not sure how someone would measure that - but I'll bite - did you see any significant increase on gas mileage?

    62hp is an insane amount.

    So you didn't actually cut yours out with a razor or you did? Which part were you kidding about?

    Getting a little louder would indicate less restriction and increased air flow to me so that alone is worth a test to see if I also get an increase in gas mileage. We pull a small travel trailer with it on long trips and any increase in power and or gas mileage would be welcome even if minor.

    I did cut it out. It MAY be louder. The difference is negligible. Honestly I probably should have left it in to avoid any issues with Toyota if there ever were an intake issue. You aren’t going to get noticeable gains with this v6 unless you do an entire exhaust and map it according your vehicle’s tune

    Gotcha, thanks. Mine's way past any warranty so I might give it a try just to see what happens.

    If it hasn’t been said yet, passenger side keyless entry if you have keyless entry. Best mod to date for me. ~$175 I think, plus about an hour of easy peasy wiring.

    See if you can cut it in a way you could hot glue it back if you need to.

    A few minor things...
    Best mod I can think of is paying it off.

    Keep the filter paper and stock. it'll keep everything cleaner than a reusable cloth one.

    think the term mod here means anything that "modifies" your truck

    aka adding or removing anything...

    The one who dies with the most stuff wins.
    Where can I find these decals? They look great. I want to debadge because it looks cleaner and is easier to clean, but think it can look empty without them. This solves that perfectly!
