    Bought my first truck two days ago, and beyond stoked! Going to be a fun beach/grocery getter with some occasional trails here and there. If anyone knows any places for someone new to off roading near Houston/Austin please chime in below. It stings a little bit to go from a CR-Z @ 40-42mpg to 20-22mpg on the truck but going to stick with it until it's limp clutch pedal is fixed.

    Will post photos later, but for now

    As per anyone who just bought something, I am now in the process of acquiring (with rationale):
    - Covercraft UVS100 (actually just ordered the rebranded HUSKY unit) - because Texas sun
    - Rebranded center console organizer - keep things in order
    - Thinkware Q800 Pro / F800R - because Houston drivers suck
    Down the line:
    - Interior LED upgrade - visibility
    - TRD Pro grill - aggressive looks
    - Bulk packs of Maruchan and 5-dozen egg boxes - because car payments
    - "Raptor Style" smoked amber LEDs - because my friend drives a Raptor and play pretend Raptor
    - Pace Edward Switchblade - because I won't be hauling things much, but would like to keep things relatively dry (..maybe MPG gain?)

    As far as anything in regards to performance is concerned I am looking to do more research. It doesn't really have any TRD options that are in the cool department like the TRD air box and the TRD skid plate but its probably doing just fine right now in stock configuration until I figure out what works well/worth for cost-to-gain ratio.

    Anyways, thanks for having me

    Update: Husky/Covercraft sun visor-shield thing is great; 10/10 would recommend.

    Also just installed the Thinkware dash cam and after finding out that I had the wires backwards it's no longer a regretful purchase!

    The MESO Customs fuse cover looks great but doesn't really work for me right now but I'm about to take a knife to the side of it and make it work.
