    Just thought it would be awesome to hear and discuss quick mods an average Joe line myself can perform. Please share. I have a 2013 dcsb.

    I also have a silver texas edition, something i did was plasti-dip all the emblems and the rims! I absolutely love the look! Everyone i asked told me not to ruin the texas edition rims with black paint, but i think they turned out great! Super cheap and easy to do.

    Plasti-Dip is definitely a great "bang-for-the-buck". I've had my dipped wheels wheelin, muddin, through the car wash with the wheel scrubber, and power washed several times and they've held up.

    I was thinking about getting the FJ TRD Trail Edition wheels prior to dipping my OEMs, but they've held up so well I'm having second thoughts now that the dip has held up so well.

    What do you want the mods to perform? Debadge and plasti-dip are always good. I added weathertechs, fog lights, recovery hook, trailer hitch and AP skid plate. All fairly easy to install. I have a ARB compressor sitting but that might take some work.

    My favorite quick and easy mod was debadging. Really cleans up the truck.

    Get an LED pack for dome, map, license plate, and reverse lights. Super cheap and easy to install. Nice improvement.

    Also, consider BHLM if that's a look you're into. Little time consuming but easy and cheap
