    Consider a Bed Mat if it did not come with one. Keeps stuff from sliding around in the bed. Welcome to the 3rd Gen TW.

    Doesn't hurt for a decent set of seat covers either if not there already.

    Meso Total Tail Lights.

    I was thinking I’d get aftermarket LED tails but I’m glad I didn’t.

    Love my stock tail lights now.

    I wasn't sure about my stock tail lights being that they weren't LED but after looking around the total tail lights are a deal and quality product. I'm waiting for the total tail light version 2 when they become available again. Hopefully soon.

    @MESO when do you think they will be available again.

    Congrats! However, (If you haven't already done so) being used make sure your truck has all the current factory updates. Also, it looks lifted. Make sure all is good with the lift, that it drives straight, tires are wearing properly then consider mods IMHO.

    Welcome to TW, Nice Truck!
    I like the MESO interior trim kit to replace all the chromed stuff, they are not expensive and I enjoy my color matching trims.
    There is so many Mods, you should stay away from this forum....
