    Well is your truck stock? because some new shocks would be good. But if u are only considering the above three i would pick the bed mat and the floor mats.

    I have the trd skidplate and i am always scratching it when i off road. lol. but if u want it just for looks and/or minor offroading get that.

    i know but sometimes i feel like i should throw the stock one on before i hit the dirt. lol. oh well.

    I have the all weather floor mats that u can get from the dealer. they are great.

    I also wish i hat the bed mat though because stuff slides soo easy in my bed.

    It goes over it? Maybe i dont have the trd one. I have the silver one that has the two holes for the hooks.

    Im pretty sure mine is the trd one. but i had to take the stock skid plate off. I have two stock black skidplates. I just had to take the front one off.

    I have the Husky Liners. Good product. You can't go wrong with Husky or Weathertech. Don't bother with the "TRD" skid. Go for a true skidplate. Budbuilt makes a awesome one, although it is expensive. You could also get one from AllPro Offroad. The factory ones are so flimsy.

    I used to think I'd have all the money in the world when I was younger. Turns out, families are expensive. Just some advice from one guy who's been there, take it or leave it.
