    First time owner and first time poster!

    Bought my first Toyota and truck a week ago. '23 1794 OR and looking at making a few mods. I don't do serious off-roading just off the beaten path for camping. Tow a small trailer <6000lbs. Take the wife, daughter and dog on weekend trips. Here are the mods I'm looking at. Any insight and/or recommendations is much appreciated!

    1. Leveling kit. Can't decide between the RC or Westcott kit. Any reason to pick one over the other?

    2. Heritage grille. Looking at swapping grills out.

    3. Tonneau cover. Looking for a Hard Tri-fold cover. I've been toying with the Bakflip M4. I've seen some post regarding cheaper ones on Amazon but have been worried about the fit.

    4. Dechrome. Mainly the mustache, mirrors and handles. Both doors and truck bed. I've seen some handles to swap out for the truck bed. Are there OEM parts for the actual door handles? For the mustache and bumper, is it best to wrap them or completely swap out with matte pieces?

    Lastly, my experience with working on cars is minimal. Aside from changing brakes and rotors, I haven't had much experience with working on cars. I am pretty good at mastering youtube videos. Think I can take on these mods myself?
