Hey there! In this video, I talk through some awesome upgrades for the First Gen Tundra from the years 2000-2006. I consider most of these to be upgrades to what came from the factory, rather than modifications that we are adding from the aftermarket. With that said, there is a lot of aftermarket support for these trucks as well, and you can quickly find yourself in the modification rabbit hole for off-road goodies. Hope you find the video helpful, and thanks for watching! - Sal
