    Well guys and gals...

    I GOT THE BALL ROLLING!

    I put down a deposit for a TRD OR DCSB in Lunar Rock today. Truck is being build on 4/24, should be delivered within 4-6 weeks from then.

    Besides gas and miles, what should I do first?? How are the Goodyear Wranglers?

    PUMPED and EXCITED!

    wranglers are just fine. Maybe some aftermarket floor mats, set up an appointment for some tint, and seat covers

    Welcome aboard. Agree with @whatstcp & maybe a bug/rock deflector, rubber bed mat, and enjoy your new super capable truck.

    Rubber bed mat is a must. That composite bed floor is slippery. Nothing stays put that isn’t tied down

    Slippery is useful if you constantly slide things in and out.

    Personally I have absolutely zero use for OEM bed mat.

    Congratulations!
    The wait is going to feel like forever...

    Drive the truck awhile and you will have a better idea what you "need". :laugh:

    :gossip: BTW, this forum is filled with enablers who will encourage you to :spending: like it is going out of style.:rofl:

    TW motto: The most expensive one is the best one!

    A bit more serious, the OEM bed mat is excellent and not too expensive, MESO map lights are a huge improvement too.

    Drive it stock for the first 1,000 miles and break it in easy.

    Otherwise if something goes wonky you'll not be sure if it was the mod you did or the stock truck...

    Floor mats bed mat mud flaps ain't gonna make a difference, but adding 50 inch tires and lifting to high heaven and re-gearing and 'tuning' and yanking the
    head unit for something else and then when sh*t goes south you'll spend twice the amount of time figuring out what went wrong.

    Congrats by the way on the best Truck on the planet -

    Welcome to the club fellow Oregonian! Get yourself some traction boards before you go off road.

    Keep it stock and just drive the thing!! All you whippersnappers want to go out and mod the hell of these trucks spending big $$. It's just not worth it in the long run. Been there done that.

    Agree with others about a bedmat. After that I'd say bed lights(there's some aftermarket ones that are better than OEM), remote tailgate lock(part #PK3B635JS0), and I also second some Meso map and dome lights but don't expect Meso to have them in stock, a lot of times you will have better luck finding his parts at sites he's partnered with:thumbsup:
    Oh and a good tonneau cover is always nice if your not getting a cap, @Truck Brigade has some good prices, when i bought mine a few years ago, no one could touch his prices. There's a couple other guys that are competitive these days but I can't remember their names.
    Wranglers are garbage if you plan on wheeling. Got two flats on em the first month of owning my truck. YMMV:notsure:
    Have fun:)

    P.S.- Nobody cares that you tele!



    P.P.S- I tele sometimes when I feel like changing it up:D
