    Tires.

    TRD locker from the wrecking yard. Actually, the whole rear end from the yoke to the drum brakes. Don’t remember the price, but it was ridiculously affordable.

    MUCH less frantic shifting, plus a shift of the torque peak lower in the rpm range.

    The five levels of “spice” are the gas pedal sensitivity. I am told the transmission shift points profile is unchanged. Those wanting a profile change can reach out to OTT for a quote.

    I run at MM which is #3 out of 5. I bought the DIY kit and plan to change to the #4 profile to see how it works for my stock truck.

    I run #3 in ECT mode all the time which gives me a 2500 rpm shift point in the first three gears.

    I like my console divider but the glove box divider I skipped.
    I keep binoculars in there and/or a small handgun. Don't wanna fumble
    around when reaching for either.

    Glad I went with an OEM Pro grille. I like the black look over the chrome grille that came on my Sport.

    RAV4 radio knobs. The stock radio knobs are utterly stupid.

    Predator (or any) steps and the driver side grab handle. Makes getting in and out of the truck so much easier.

    Two-way tie between:

    Remote tailgate lock. I installed the Toyota OEM version. Easy install and so convenient.

    67 designs TacoRail. This thing is bombproof and the best phone mount I’ve ever seen. Love how it can hold multiple devices and is just really well built.
