    Hello All,

    I'm the original owner of an 07 Tundra 5.7L, 2wd DC SR5 long bed with 220k miles. No real mods, just a rear TRD sway bar, running boards and amber turn signals, yes they're bright according to the CHP. I've loved this truck since the start, has been my warhorse since 07, had my fair share of issues at the start, but so far so good, with basic maintenance and a new starter it has been great. I've been in and out of these forums lurking around so I finally decided to join as this site has a wealth of useful information.
    Edit: As per requested, here is some ocular pleasure.
