    I'd say sliders and tires would be a good start if you're looking to go offroad

    What's the biggest tire I can fit with a 48" lift, and should I do the LS swap before or after the AC drain mod? :anonymous:

    If it’s an automatic - install a transmission cooler - no wait, you might void your warranty

    LED bed lighting kit. Complete plug n play for the ‘20 so I would think it’d be the same for ‘21. If I remember right I paid $45 - $55 from Salinas Toyota.


    As others mentioned, bed mat.

    Thanks for the responses fellas ! I opted for the LED bed lighting package from the factory, so I got that covered. What i'm hearing form y'all is :
    1) Bed mat
    2)OEM power tailgate lock
    3) Heavy-duty floor mats

    What about a tuner module or something like the Pedal Commander ? Something to give it some more GO--->?
