    Going back to real simple
    Ok was I the only one that expected my SR to have a sunvisor mirror? I got it front the dealership and that’s the first thing I noticed. I know it’s base model… but I still thought I’d get a couple mirrors there.

    also depending on your height and how much you drive, look at off brand seat jackers. Makes for more enjoyable rides. And if you go out to your truck a lot in the dark look at puddle lights. I got a set on mine and they’re perfect!

    The bed mat is my number 1 must have.

    Also, if you're going to be using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, a 90 degree USB adapter is nice, unless you really want to dig around in the center console to swap the media port location.

    1,500 miles on it in 7 months. :rofl: Here's what I've done:
    Fluid Film
    Full paint correction and ceramic, PPF front end
    Removed bumper air dam
    AC drain mod
    added ARB recovery point
    TRD skid plate
    Cali Raised converter shields
    Fumoto drain valve (not installed yet)
    added Diode Dynamics SS3 yellow fogs with the non-prewired SR method (love this mod)
    H9 low beam mod
    added hood struts
    16x8.5 GFX polished wheels
    265/75R16 raised white letter Yokohama Geolander tires
    Barxbuilt rock sliders
    Detroit True Trac limited slip
    2wd low range mod
    A6 recovery point on hitch
    VLEDs tail/brake/signal/backup lamps and license frame
    LED license lamps, followed by those license lamp shields. :D
    Swing Case tool box in the bed (not entirely thrilled with this one)
    OEM bed mat
    rubber thingy that covers the gap between the bed and gate
    Charvona Designs billet tie downs in the bed. The whole set.
    Tuff Skinz rocker panel overlays in yellow/orange/red scheme
    Tuff Skinz mud guards, also with the yellow/orange/red scheme
    Tuff Skinz "Tacoma" bed letters, black
    black nameplate/badge overlays on the tail gate
    Amazon rear step
    yellow/orange/red grille badge
    Tacoma Lifestyle locking bed storage compartment
    Tailgate anti-theft thing on the right hinge
    TRD exhaust tip, black
    Taco Garage multi mount and phone holder
    LED dome/map lights
    lighted visor swap, also with LED's
    oversized cup holder
    Weathertech mats
    JL Audio 8 inch sub behind the left rear seat
    Alpine amp and front dash/door speakers
    glove box organizer
    console organizer
    one of those map pocket things that sticks to the side of the console. Right side only, for my wife to put her stuff in.
    Spotter mirrors (love these)
    FitCam X Dash cam
    TRD shift knob

    Other than possibly lifting it 2 inches (torn on this) and possibly adding the tail gate storage thing, I'm done. Very pleased with the results, truck gets a lot of compliments, even my 16 year old daughter likes it. :) Looking forward to hitting some trails and putting that True Trac to work.

    Thank you to everyone for the suggestions.

    Eh, I added VLED front DRL's/marker/signal lights and the Bulletproof Fabrication tailgate storage too. :rofl::thumbsup: Only remaining mod that interests me is possibly lifting it 2 inches. 2,267 miles on it since I bought it on September 30th. :rofl:
