Newbie to the group

Hello all,

I am a retired Air Force member in the San Antonio area. I worked on military aircraft (F-15, F/A-22, MQ-1B and MQ-9 aircraft) for over 20 years and now it is time to unwind and start some work on my truck. I have a 2021 Tundra Platinum, she has 12,000 miles and I am trying to give her some love and make her look better. I just had a ceramic coating put on her to hopefully keep her looking clean. She goes in for a ceramic tint job on Monday, next will be the TRD exhaust, cold air intake and a lift kit with some new rims and tires. More to come, glad to be here!

Welcome from NorCal. Nice looking truck. Thank you for your service.

 

Thank you Scud, I appreciate that. It was my pleasure to serve the country! The truck is nice but I want a bigger stance for her, make her look like a 4x4 truck.

 

Welcome from NY.
Thank you for your service.

 

Thanks Jim LE 1301, I appreciate it! Thanks for the support, it was my pleasure to serve! I also needed it so as to stop being a bad kid! Lol

 

Thanks for your service from Socal. I retired last year after 28 years in the fire service.

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! Thanks for keeping all those planes in the air!

 

Thanks for your service also RetiredTindraBC! My father was a DoD Fire Fighter for 31 years, so I know that you gave a lot of yourself!

 

Thanks Bakershack, I loved what I did and keeping the planes in the air is what it was about!! A lot of 12-16 hour shifts daily, but worth it!!

 

Thanks Yard Bird! San Diego is a nice place, been there a lot when I was a contractor for the Air Force after I retired.

 

Thank you for your service! Welcome!

 

Welcome and greetings from Minnesota. I did a hitch in the Army, then another 3 years in the Marines followed by 28 years in the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Aviation Administration and then finished out my govt. time in the Department of Homeland Security. I’m now retired and I can say that retirement is highly recommend! Thank you for your service and welcome to the retirement club too. You have earned it.

 

ZHunter, you're welcome and thank you for your support and the welcome!

 

RoadTripJim, thank you for your service and dedication to the country as well! You had an amazing run and I am sure you are enjoying being retired after all those years!

Welcome from NC and congrats on a beautiful truck!

 

Thank you Blueknights75! This is my second Tundra Platinum, I loved my old one, but this 21 has more safety options and newer tech, so it is a definite upgrade.

 

Beautiful truck and thank you for your service.

 

Congrats and welcome from Penciltucky .Nice stock rig....Salute

 

The Tundra will be a lot easier to work on! Welcome from Cedar Park, TEXAS!

 

Frichco 288, thank you! It was my pleasure to serve!

 

Thank you very much toyofan87, I will get her looking even better soon!

 

PureTundra, that is the truth! Working on an aircraft is definitely not the easiest, you can't even see most of the stuff you are working on! Just touch and feel and hope the tools stay on and don't fall! Thank you, you are up the road from me.

 

I use to call that "mechanicing by braille"

 

Welcome from NJ

 

Congrats
