    Today I purchased a 2021 Toyota Tundra SR5 4x4 cement gray. Like every morning I woke up this morning not expecting to purchase a vehicle. Especially in a crappy market. Next month family is coming to visit and I needed a larger vehicle to carry everyone. So calling around to the rental agencies made me

    To rent a minivan or small suv for a week was nearly 1k. NOPE!

    So at lunch I drove down to the Toyota dealer and fell in love. I wanted that cement gray for some time but still wasn't up for spending 50k on a vehicle, so I settled for 49k

    Having not purchased a car since 2008 it is surely a sticker shock but it is what it is. My intentions were to order a new Dodge 2500 diesel in August but that is 70k to start.

    So today I joined your ranks! The Toyota is a heck of a lot sexier than any other truck on the road (everyone knows this). I'm super happy with it and the only times I will frown each month is when I make the payment or visit the gas pump. However I work from home so I have no argument with the gas pump.

    I'll be hanging around!

    Just swap the units with the higher trim housings. Almost same amount of work as swapping bulbs but you won’t blind oncoming traffic. My favorite mod is my LED headlights that I added to my Sr5 (I did need the harness). Congrats on a great truck!

    Thanks, can you explain "higher trim housing"? You mean the entire light assembly?

    Yes....he is referring to the TRD Pro led headlights. They are about $650 for the pair and the harness is about $150 or so.

    Won’t be an issue at dark. Right at dusk I can’t tell if they are on if I’m heading into the sun. Once it’s dark you won’t regret the purchase.

    Welcpme from Houston area There!

    There are LED bulbs available but do not work well with non projector lenses. As mentioned best to get new set up, the ones from the Tundra Pro's are nice.

    Hello neighbor, I'm over in Bryan. I come to Houston often to the VA down there. I'll look for those Pro lights.
