Mods on a budget

[acer0611]

$250, tell the wife you got a trd:angel: intake, stash the cash, and wait until the next $250 allowance comes available and get yourself a $500 accessory!

LOL...you still need to get a little more creative. Buy a TRD sticker on ebay and slap it on the current intake and now you can sell the story.

I have the TRD intake. It's ok for what it is. Makes lots of noise. Modding on a budget? Don't bother.

First mods I did were the best ones: Weathertech mats and HID kit. From there I'd do the LED interior lights. Spend the $15 for an OBDII reader and an app for your phone, good to go for a while.

In my experience, besides getting (surprisingly) better gas mileage, the enhanced sound at higher RPM's alone is worth it.
Also the OP has already mentioned he has Weather Tech's so the Husky liners would be a mute point.

How much did your MPG increase? I've put CAIs on more sporting cars than the 4R and never saw a MPG gain, but there may be reasons for that..

OP, I'll echo what others have said. Get a full set of the weathertech-type floor mats and HID kit from theretrofitsource.

Immediately after the install my mpg went down. My truck was averaging about 14mpg and went down to 13mpg. Since the install I haven't done any other notable mods and i'm currently averaging about 16mpg with somewhat spirited driving.

The peace of mind is worth it alone.

I'm not sure what you're into but my awning is one of the best bang for the buck mods I've done, I love that thing.

Also, these Camp Time cots are quality, it's nice to be up off the ground and you won't need to pack a sleeping pad anymore:

This is interesting to me. I didn't know you could piece it together. You don't have part numbers by any chance?

There is a thread here with part numbers too. search 5th gen cai.

Coincelli Toyota often has 10% off around various holidays... maybe even this upcoming one.

It would run just about $250
