    TRD Bilstein shocks
    A friend of mine who is a die hard Toyota fan suggested some mods... recently I paid off my truck and wanted to start making it mine. He suggested TRD shocks in pace of the SR5 standard. Could not believe the improvement. Starting down the rabbit hole.

    I have (2.7L V4 SR5 w/ LSD)

    Next Upgrades
    Gear change
    Wheels and tires
    Shell

    Has anyone used tuner chips or performance chips?

    Welcome to the forum, with friends like that you had better have a money tree in your back yard! Check out OV Tune, pretty much the only option right now.

    It is an addiction...

    I've had mine for less than a year and I've done:
    - removed front air dam
    - Bilstein 5100s all the way around
    -AAL in the back
    - custom TRD sticker (bwca - I love paddling)
    - Softopper (favorite thing I've done so far)
    - fumoto drain valve
    - ECGS bushing install
    - husky liners
    - intermittent wiper add/mod (I've got an SR)
    -center console and glove box organizers
    - rekgen mud flaps
    - RP-342 coated frame
    -G-tek sil guards

    I've basically done everything I can without spending crazy money at the moment... Though the softopper wasn't cheap. I will be doing bigger tires, sliders, skids, sso Slimline winch front bumper.

    Have fun with your build!

    Welcome! I'm gonna guess trading it in for a TRD OR would be cheaper by the time you get that where you want it. Enjoy that rabbit hole though, it's got some great ups and downs
