    2012 Tundra 5.7 TRD 4x4
    6" lift. 35s on 20s
    First time Tundra owner here in VA BCH, VA (2012 5.7 4x4, 90k miles, 1 owner). I recently sold my 86 T4R with SAS, Chevy 63's, crossover steering and many, many other mods. Over built for what I needed so here I am wanting a full size V8 to haul the kids and do home projects. 3 kids and a wife are a tight fit in an 86 4Runner! Also my first truck many moons ago was an 85 Toy PU.

    I have about 60 miles under my belt now with the Tundra and my first impressions are: Great power, very touchy throttle pedal, smooth ride even with the 6" lift and 35s, roomy, MPG sucks <---already knew that, small gas tank-22gal?

    Well I'll be poking around the forum looking for deals and knowledge.

    Out,
