Looking for some recommendations. My truck is a 2010 crewmax that has been blacked out , I have a 6" lift with 35s. I like the streamlined look of my truck , I have added nerf bars since this photo but would like to add a small compact push bar and stealth light bar and maybe roll bar in the bed. What do you guys recommend? I have looked but can't find a push bar that is compact and streamlined I have looked over the post on here but it seems most recent post pertain to the newer trucks.

As far as looks go, that is a good looking truck. I think I would leave it alone.
However, 37s, about a 5.20 gear ratio, and a super charger would be the direction I would lean toward.

Yeah I like it as is as well. In your opening post you mention how you like the streamlined look, wouldn't adding the extra bars negate that? Good looking truck.

Thanks I really appreciate the compliments and advice. I also like it the way it looks now , I do want to add more lights to it , I was going to add a compact push bar but I think I will take your advice on it and leave that as is. I think I will try to find a good stealth light kit and put behind the grill. Have any recommendations? I am also thinking about some lights in the back , maybe the flush mount bumper lights. I don't like cutting into the bumper normally but it has a bad place where I think rust will pop through soon so cutting into the bumper does not bother me that much .

That's a nice looking truck. I have always liked the black out look. The blacked out headlights and taillights made the biggest difference in the looks of mine.

It had the blacked out tail lights when I first bought it and the first two people I knew that looked at the truck said the same thing when they saw the blacked out tail lights "you ain't been pulled over yet?", so I got online and got a normal set. The last thing I want is a "pull me over magnet" at my stage.

Smart move. It's never made sense to me why anyone would want to make their taillights harder to see.

How about a Coastal Off-road high clearance front bumper?

If you want your truck lasting a million miles, no super charger needed. Cold air intake is fine. Looks bad, and spark parts now sells color matched door handles and mirrors with/ or without gloss if you want it glossy rather than matte handles and mirror covers.

Just bought a set of lights like the ones in the photo. Has anyone seen a large light bar that has a dark face like these?

Put the fog lights in my grill, what do you think? My grill is a little neat up from a hit it received do I didn't mind drilling a few holes in it . Now I need to upgrade the headlights and fog lights to 6000k led , any brand recommendations?

I do not know what brand lights to get but I know what not to get and that would be the cheap China made crap. I just finished working on a friends 2011 Tundra that I talked her into buying. The previous owner placed LED bulbs in the front head lights, high beams and turn signals. The headlights and high beams bulbs have a relay in the wiring and it appears you have to wire it to the factory wiring. They also have cooling fins on the back of the bulbs and they seem fine. The blinker lights were just bulbs had no relay and had started to melt the bulb housing consistently on both sides. It also made the blinkers blink at twice the rate like the stock tundra bulbs do when one is burned out letting you know there is a problem. There were no LED in the rear.

This same gal had a RAM that someone had also placed LED bulbs in without the cooling fins and relays. The truck kept throwing codes for electrical lighting. My son took a look at the light bulbs and found that the LED bulbs had also melted the bulb housings. When he replaced the LED bulbs with the stock bulbs the electrical issues went away. The rest of the truck was typical RAM and that is junk and why she now has a Tundra.

Replaced the headlights and taillights with the AlphaRex leds. What a difference!
The front fog, off-road and white ditch lights are from Baja Designs. Love the setup especially in remote rural areas of Arizona and Montana. Kept me from hitting elk and deer as well as lighting up off-road.
BTW, you need a capacitor on each headlight if you replace the front turn signals with led. The back leds are fine.
