    Bought a '17 almost two weeks ago. Here's what I've done so far:
    • Replaced K&N cold air wheezepipe with an OEM airbox
    • Replaced ugly aftermarket grill with an OEM takeoff from a '22
    • Replaced oversized 285/70R17 wimpy tires with correctly sized 265/65R17 10-ply tires
    Up next:
    • Remove 3/2 spacer lift
    • Replace factory needle bearing with ECGS bushing because it's failing due to the aforementioned lift
    • Leer 180 canopy with roof rails
    • Bedrug
    • Replace TRD Sport scooped hood with a sexy non-scooped smooth hood
    After it's all said and done, it will hopefully only need oil changes and fuel for a long time!

    When I bought my truck from the dealership it didn’t come with mats. I thought that was kind of crazy that it’s considered an “add on” item

    same with mine. Apparently they have a shortage as not one single truck in the dealership had any inside (the sales agent was going to find some for me)

    Thanks @jockotaco I plan on taking some better photos instead of in the “working” garage.

    Ordered Lomax Stance tonneau cover today after doing tons of research. I opted for it because of the option to fold up vertical at back window and allow full bed use. I’m used to full size trucks so couldn’t stand the thought of reducing bed length even more. Oh ya, in case anyone is wondering, these don’t lean against the window.

    There is a thread about it but @truckalter offers the best deal around!

    They were included with mine but the line item was $399 which I thought was ridiculous. I normally put weather tech in all my stuff. However, I have to admit I do like the OEM better since I have them but they are proud of them.

    No sir, like you I did a lot of research. I ended up concluding that you were pretty safe with 265/70/17 with 17 x 8.5 0 offset wheels. I was also after the “stocky” look which is why I chose that offset and width. I had already taken the air dam off so can’t attest to that if you were wanting to keep it but I am fairly certain it would require trimming.

    A few folks mentioned they had to heat gun a small portion of the inner fenders and push it in. I could tell where this was at and it wouldn’t be a big deal at all if you had to do it. It’s only about a 3” area.

    The falkens are one of the taller tires in this size as well.

    Do you have photos of this? How close does it match the factory tint in the rear?
