    After seeing a video I thought this might be a good idea.

    List YOUR top ten favorite mods you've done to your truck.

    I need to think about mine before I post.

    I want a ford 7.3 gas and a 10 speed. Or a 1uz and a 5-speed.
    I want long travel.
    I want a cap.
    I want a solid front axle.
    I want some wuhan war whistles.

    i want to get myself into situations where i might need any of those things. But the truck does everything i need it to now. Hauls motorcycles, (*caveat* i need to remove my back seat so my dog has more room.) hauls rocks, hauls ass, and 18mpg is great for a 4x4. The titan still does 20, but it can get stuck in wet grass.

    camry truck is best truck.
    But its too pretty and im scared to park it, and scared to throw it at other cars.

    i’ve gotta mention one of grandpa’s mods for you guys with wheel locks.
    Will be tapping and putting a ring on all the wheel keys i can.

    I really haven't done much beyond the activation of the built in VIP3000 alarm for free and the changeover to synthetic ATF fluid in my transmission back in 2003.

    Should've bought the glass breakage sensor when it was available, but I'll live without.

    It would only be excessive if I painted all those parts black. Looking back, I wish I had.

    I'm old & my 'Mods' if you call them that will be laughable to most here.
    But I like to keep all the running gear stock.
    Here's my list.

    #1 Snug Top Super Sport shell w/ keyless entry (added digital camo cloth side window coverings)
    #2 3M Crystaline Window tint all the way around, including entire windshield (lighter tint for my old eyes at night)
    #3 Pioneer head unit / all new speakers / backup camera etc.
    #4 Carhartt Precision Fit seat covers complete front / back / dash cover $$$
    #5 Added foglights to factory location and OEM 'stalk/blinker' kit
    #6 Weathertech floor mats front & back
    #7 Odyssey AGM Battery
    #8 Restored headlights with sand / polish / 2K Clear
    #9 Fumoto Drain valve on oil pan
    #10 . . . and all the maintenance of fluids, filters, wipers, ceramic wax, engine detail, MAF, TB, etc. etc.

    **** special mention for the Rokform Magnetic Universal Phone Mount . . . Low Profile, Versatile, and simple.
