    2017 TRD Off-Road DCLB
    Go-fast Camper En-route, TRD Pro Grill, Limo Tint, Window Deflectors
    hey guys, just got my 2017 TRD off-road DCLB earlier this year. Dream truck and hyped on it, it's mostly stock as of now. I put my down and am currently waiting on a GFC. In the future I'm looking to add a 2.5-3 inch lift, suspension, 33-35" tires, wheels (Method's or VTX, open to opinions), and any other overlanding required stuff like air compressors, fridge, etc so please, if you know of a deal on any parts that have worked out for you, drop the link. I'm open to any suggestions and input will be appreciated, I'm handy but never been too mechanically inclined but to save labor costs I'm doing my best to learn as I go. already done all the daily mods (tint, window deflectors, trd pro grill, interior LEDs, back-up LED's, console organizers, dog hammock, fire extinguisher, survival axe) looking to start the pricier additions of my build, planning on starting with sliders. I have stock running boards right now but those won't last the way I plan to use the truck. I've heard a lot of good things about c4, Brute force fab, cali raised. Thoughts on slider's or suggestions?
    thanks for reading and I'm hyped to finally be apart of the community!Screen Shot 2019-09-05 at 10.35.14 PM.jpgScreen Shot 2019-09-05 at 10.34.39 PM.jpg

    Welcome to TW! Most of the stuff you listed you can learn to do yourself, it's really not too difficult. In fact, if you can change your oil you can do most anything. TW has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and general input on pretty much every part out there that will fit our trucks. Whether it was intended to or not. I'd suggest you cut up your credit cards now and lock down your bank account though! The mod bug is real.
