    not in any particular order
    -replace OEM exhaust that finally wore out (part is discontinued), with after-market Borla touring catback, not sure how it gonna sound, NO REFUNDs if not happy with sound :(
    -new audio head unit (4th gen) with FLAC usb port to listen to mega gigabytes of tunes :cool: on roadtrips, not sure if I want to do the Alpine or Pioneer :confused:, what do you think, critter?
    -frame cleaning, reproofing, have not found suitable shop to do this work
    -research new bedliner, I hear the spray-in ones are nice? I would like to see one first,though ... Unfortunately I have small spotty abrasions underneath plastic one around the rails that I keep touching up with paint that always seems to disappear, this might be a :spending: because body shop told me I have to have the entire box repainted to properly resolve it

    -figure out whatever happened to my MPG, have lost about 50miles per tank of fuel after I got some new rubber onit, not quite sure what the deal with that is
    -figure out whatever happened to my engine compartment noise/weather strips that mysteriously disappeard :confused:
    -try to locate another official Toyota hood/bugshield protector to fit the one that was recently destroyed ... anybody know of one that I can get ahold of?
    -30k maintenance at ToyoTechs

    Tundra brakes Bilstein 5100s OME springs
    Here's what's on my 'to-do' list this spring/summer:
    • Tundra brake upgrade
    • Front bumper is rusting, so that needs repaint/replace
    • Timing chain
    • Front/rear shocks - maybe do a full OME overhaul
    • Tires (maybe wheels)
    • Head unit - haven't even started scoping this out yet
    • rearview mirror - stock is all faded, maybe find one with a backup camera (if they exist for our trucks)

    I own this truck and my '16 Lexus RX350. This truck will be with me for the rest of my life. I will never sell it. I keep it maintained. The only stuff I added to it were a bullbar with Hellas, twin catbacks, a snugtop and Rhino-liner. I added all that when the truck was young. The only plans I have are new OEM headlights, a new console hatch, and a new glove box door. That's it-boring as hell.
    She's too damn nice in stock form:)

    I had them installed in 2009 at a custom exhaust shop. He mandrel-bent them after the rear end to go one-over-the-other past the spare tire then back side-by-side after the spare turning sideways and tucked close to body. So yeah, quite a bit of custom bending for this application.
