    Yeah... that site seems to have the best price I've seen so far. There is a lot of stuff on that site. They seems to have all the accessories that you would want to get at the dealer, but at lower prices... I like it so far and I will definitely be ordering stuff from there...

    Yeah that's going to be my new website to shop for OEM/TRD parts for my truck. I still need the TRD wheel installation kit and may order from there. Cheapest so far at $114.75 + free shipping.

    BTW your truck is nice. I love that color. MGM is one of my all time favorite color. Here's a pic of what an MGM would look like with the TX pro wheels just imagine it with the 285/75 your going with.

    I already have bro! I love those wheels, and I really love the MGM color. When the sun hits that metallic, I love it! It will be harder to keep clean than my last one (Silver streak), but when it is clean, its the best looking color on the road today (IMHO).

    I'll try to get a pic of the gauge cluster at night. It's really awesome and easy on the eyes while night driving. The only thing is if any of you should get one with entune, you'll have to adjust the display to a little bit brighter of a setting as the lights on setting was too dark.

    Thanks for all the love guys!!! This is the best forum I have been on to date. I plan to be here for a while too... You guys are all great!

    The lovely wife won't let that happen... I'll get everything in time, but I'll have to do it the old fashioned way...SAVING!! Boo... :( I keep trying to tell her that God gave us Credit cards for a reason... Haha! The problem I run into is that what I think the reason is is way different the what she thinks the reason is... ;)

    Whatever... I'll get everything in time... I just need to figure out what I want to do first. Sounds like a "Poll Thread" but I'm going to wait until I have money to do it...

    Cheers!

    WeatherTechs and tint are a must, IMO.

    Very cheap in the grand scheme of things too. :D

    I have weathertechs from my last Taco, but I'm not sure if they'll fit. It looks like they will, but I need to try it. I'll know when I get back home... Weathertech has not made the digital's for the '12 yet. The floor looks the same, but the retainers are different. I never had them on my '10. I don't see any reason, from what I've looked at, why they shouldn't fit in the '12 so long as you don't mind not having the retainers. So we'll see...

    Tint will get done this week assuming I can get off work early enough to actually get there... I'll be getting the front windows done to match the factory tint on the rest.

    After that, I'm not sure... I'll have to figure out whats most important to me and what the wifey will let me get away with... :rolleyes:

    I agree with your thoughts on the WeatherTech's - going without the retention clips. I will say that from the two pics I've seen of the 2012 retention clips, they are way more involved than the dinky ones the previous years have had.

    Post up some pics of your tint when you get it done!

    Will do Chris... I"m actually going to try and get some night pics of the gauge cluster and navi. People seemed quite interested in that. I'll also get a close up of the retention clip and take them apart so everybody can see...

    Then I'm going to try and consolidate all the pics into that first post so everyone doesn't have to search through everything to see them...
