    So it's been over a month pursuing a '21 Tundra to my liking and I am now feeling better.

    It was delivered to the dealer last Friday and I did see it but decided to wait until the TRD exhaust and skid plate arrived and were installed before driving it home...

    Finally it is all done and I picked it up this morning.

    My first impressions.

    The TRD dual exhaust is definitely noticeable when you accelerate and to me tolerable on the highway. You can here it, but it is nowhere near the loudest exhaust I have ever owned.

    The cab is CAVERNOUS and very comfortable... My first choice would have been a Platinum or a 1794 but I had no luck getting a sniff of one of those... The interior in gray and that's fine...It is now essentially a TRD Pro without the Fox shocks... (maybe something like it in the future).

    I love the wheels and tires... makes it stand out for sure...The Ridge Grapplers can be heard, but they are not the loudest i have heard either...

    The dealer filled it with gas and said "it must have been empty because it took 32.4 gals." I told him it had 5.6 still in the tank. It took almost a hundie...

    I still have the old exhaust and skid if anyone is in need I'll make you a deal you can feel....

    It fits in my garage with inches to spare...I can't tell you how many times I measured it and said "it's going to be close"

    Congrats! Starting out with the right mods. And now the chrome! For parking in that tight garage I highly recommend the FRAC harness from @TundraTex with a front camera.

    I already ordered the mirror caps and will prolly go with the bumper caps, the bulge and the surround with a TRD Pro style grill...

    Congrats on the new truck. You got the best color, now get rid of all that chrome and you’ll have a proper stormtrooper truck (unless you like chrome, it is your truck).

    Even though I measured multiple times, I did pull in very slowly with the sunroof open with sticking my head out a few times to take a visual measurement.... I got like 4 inches to spare... Now I have to remember to wait for the door to go all the way up before pulling in.... with the car it was no sweat...

    Congrats on the newness. :thumbsup:

    Back that bad boy in the garage! Mine fits with literally like two inches to spare. The only way it works is by backing it in at an angle to clear a post and doing a little wheel turn to straighten it once inside. I use the camera to see when the bumper is just about kissing the wall then I know it's good. :D

    Good Idea... was thinking of that too... you know I actually have 7 to 8" to clear the shark fin so I don't know what I was worried about...I got about 8" to clear the door too with the track about 2" from the wall. Pfffft no sweat!!!!

    Looking good. How much for the skid plates you installed on your new truck?

    Great looking truck.

    I’d come get the original exhaust from you if you were anywhere near WA. Yet something else I want on the other side of the US

    Just gotta kiss the wall in the back and there's about 2 inches in front of the bumper but it's worth it. I like to keep all of the cars in the garage.
