    Purchased my 2018 SR5 a little over a month ago. Here's the "How it started" and "How it's going".

    I switched the stock suspension with the TRD Pro Fox suspension.
    A 1/4" dobinsons shim spacer to correct a slight driver's side lean.
    Replaced stock wheels with TRD Pro wheels.
    Replaced stock tires with BFG ko2's.

    I'm loving the "box" look that the wheel and tire swap gives this. My next move was to replace the roof rack and seriously considered the 3/4 prinsu but I think I'll focus on some basic recovery gear first. An RTT would be badass, but I'm more of a hiker than a camper (I hope that makes sense).

    The trail I want to start hitting is rated easy especially with 4wd. But to err on the side of caution, I'm thinking air compressor, shovel, and a traction mat. Would that be a good start and any recommendations on brands?

    Looks great! On the TRD Pro Fox suspension did you just put them on straight out the box or did you add the eibach pro springs to them?

    Thanks! I actually bought a used kit from a buddy who stripped them off his brand new trd pro 4r. Only 5k miles on them. Didn't change the springs. I'm also still on my stock rear springs because I'm liking the firm feel of ride I currently have. Gives me much better control of the break and overall handling.

    Nice! Reason I asked was it kinda looked a little higher up front in the pic than mine does. I put a TRD Pro suspension on mine to, and it does handle better for sure.
