    Uhhh. There are a ton of people and companies that make and sell armor such as elite, addicted offroad, all pro, avid, relentless....the list goes on and on. id suggest making a trip to the vendor section but hide your wallet before you do otherwise it'll be gone before you know it

BAMF Sliders. Manual hub conversion with functioning ABS. Tundra front brakes. Manual hub conversion with functioning ABS. SCS F-5's w/ 255/85 Toyo MT's
    Rear Springs, Frame Reinforcement, Tundra Brakes.

    Those 3 make a good truck so much better.

    1. Stock leafs are a joke. I know some don't mind them but I was hitting bumpstops with a stock truck, fiberglass cap and an empty bed.

    2. Stock frame is weak. My was already starting to bend at 40k miles. All better now.

    3. Stock brakes are junk. Tundra upgrade is cheap and very effective.

    I can definitely agree with you on #1...Toyota dropped the ball big time on the leafs on these 1st gens.

    But unless you haul hundreds of pounds the frame in its stock form will do just fine. Yes, if you have a topper, and will have a lot in your bed all the time, then frame reinforcement plates are a must.

    And I have never had a problem with the stock brakes. My truck stops on a dime...
