The fresh palette. I brought her home from Larry H. Miller Toyota Oct 2007. A-Trac, Locker, TRD exhaust,
My first mod was the can of diet coke my wife left in the console that froze and exploded.
My first REAL mod was the all-weather rubber floor mats my wife gave me for christmas.
Next I put a wrench to my truck for the first time. Black tundra door handles. and I made a video:
Then I installed the newly released (in '08) side sun visors. And guess what... I made another video:
Then came the OEM roof rack. (so far I haven't needed more)
Next I painted the bezel white. White roof - white bezel just like the old 40's (that didn't have a chrome bezel) and an Old Man Emu lift (Heavy heavies up front, mediums in the back)
Got in on a group buy for the Manik tail light guards
Bought some Geri cans from Expedition one and Added a "rack enhancer" to carry a shovel, axe, and highlift
Then at the '08 summit I added a Trail Teams badge and summit badge to my grille (Badges are under there somewhere )
Then I added an Expedition one bumper. I bought it raw with no hoops. The WyoOtto style had barely come out and I loved it but I wanted thicker hoops so I had a buddy fab them up.

Maybe some Bushwackers (you guys that have them make me jealous) Rear bumper with swingout (I worry about the weight on the door of the bigger tire) Next tires - maybe go up to 35's ??? New Wheels??? Camera system (at least a backup) I think I'd like tube doors too? CO-2 setup.
I add stuff slowly but it sure adds up when you list it out like this.
