I think his point was to find a purpose/direction you're going. Doing mods for the sake of mods doesn't make sense. There are "easy, must do mods" everywhere, but whether you want to do them depends on which direction you're taking your rig.

Replace the factory unit with 2 Fiamm freeway fliers. Bolt right up.
Get both, the high and low notes.

I was really lucky when I got mine as it had a bunch of little stuff already installed that make life alot nicer:
Glove box/center console organizer
LED lights inside
Rav4 mirrors (unless they come on premiums. I'm not sure)
OrangeBoxx rear Molle panels
Good floor mats
I added LED headlights and fogs. I'm really happy with it and small changes have made a big difference.

I got my 4 in January this year. So far I bought nfab nerf bar steps, a rear window Raingler net (we're soon to get our first family dog), an Ellis Precision shift knob, some little shit off Amazon like screen protector, console organizer, dash mats. Next up will be a TRD front skid plate, interior LEDs from DiodeDynamics, AVS in-channel side window deflectors and front bugflector.

I feel like others have covered this well, this was my list for daily driving upgrades right at the start.
LED Interior Bulbs
Husky Floor Liner Floor Mats
Rear Cargo Area Liner
Center Console Organizer
Glove Box Organizer
HID Headlights/LED Highbeams
Canvasback Liners for dog hair
Those were the musts from day one for me, I also upgraded all the speakers within a month or 2 of ownership because the paper cone stock speakers are trash

Add a USB dongle behind your rearview mirror to power a dash cam or a gopro (in my case)

For phone mount, mic mount, garmin mount, I use the Scosche magic mount. Love the strong low profile magnets and mounts.

Salex center console organizer AND TRAY other people have mentioned are awesome.

My advice. DRIVE YOUR TRUCK. Do what you enjoy doing with your truck, STOCK. When you come across an issue that is limiting your ability to do what you want with your truck, add a mod that addresses that issue. That's it. Don't add stuff that you don't even know if you will need yet. Don't get mods just to get mods.
Great thread - lots of good tips and links.
What about seat covers? Any good recommendations - god knows all the off roaring, camping, kids and dogs trash stock fabrics.

I've got Marathon seat covers front and rear. Kids are grown and gone, but we've got the dogs. A quick vacuum and maybe wipe with a damp cloth and done. Not exactly cheap, and you have to wait for them to be made, but it was worth it to me.

Weathertech just came out with a new version of their mats. A few shekels more, but give a bit more coverage. Very happy with them

Lots of good suggestions here, been doing some small stuff to my truck waiting for weather to warm up so I can see what I really need based on use but some things that I have found useful:
A good Phone mount that does not block your line of sight. I went with RAM and the very popular mounting spot oft discussed in this forum and on youtube. I taped instead of drilled though - we will see how long-term durable.
Weathertech mats - they are amazing.
A remote start. This is not a cheap mod per se but has been huge for me and I use it all the time.
These:

and these

Not vehicle specific but very good. I bike a lot and in the summer it is super gross jumping into your ride all sweaty. I have two and they old up small and stay in the side door pockets when not in use.

That's good to know; took them a while though lol. I went with Husky a couple years ago because they had better coverage than weathertech and they had been that way for a while. I LOVE the Husky liners.
I went with husky for both rows and the back. If I was doing it again I would probably do full weathertech.
Amazon screen protector
Window tint - I went 50% ceramic all the way around. Makes the back fairly tough to see anything in the back. Doing it again I would try to make the front match the back because the fronts are too light. I'm a fan of keeping stuff in the back seat/back out of sight, out of mind.

My WT rear mat keeps curling up on the sides. This is my 2nd one, doing it again.
Yea, same here...had the Husky's, sold them and got the WT...wish I'd kept the Husky. :hurt:
