    I know, useless post, but I'm highly excited and just want to tell everyone. Picking up a 2013 Pyrite Mica, TRD Offroad DCSB w/ tow pkg tomorrow. Can't wait to spend all of my disposable income on it for the foreseeable future.

    What are good immediate purchases?
    I am already planning on window tint and floor mats ASAP. Planning on new wheels/tires once I save enough. Also interested in sliders and a roof rack.

    Useless post, I know, just needed to vent my excitement :)

    EDIT: Any recommendations for painting the rear bumper/front grille? Definitely want them color matched eventually. Thanks.

    its not all that great ... after a couple years it sags in the middle , cracks here and there and the grooves that it locks into place with start to bend so it gets harder and harder to lock... I have one on my truck , i know this from experience

    Hmmmmmm, maybe i should look some more. Dont want to spend that much and have it sag. I do want something that allows full bed access without removing.

    Congrats on the new truck and welcome to TW.

    As for immediate purchase, Weathertech Digital Fit Floor Liners are a must if you value your carpet. Then Seat Covers, Wet Okole if you can afford them. After that its all about preference and intended use.

    I have had a Truxedo LoPro Tonneau cover for about three years now, still going strong.

    And if you want to spend all of your remaining time and money, Click Here for a list of about 108 ways to do that.
