    Hi everyone! First time Tundra owner. Never thought I'd buy one but I'm so glad I did. Looking forward to fixing it up and using this forum for tips and ideas. 20220830_182707.jpg

    I really like your tag about not following the 10 commandments. True words right there.

    Welcome from DFW. This is a dangerous place to be :rofl:

    You will learn too much and folks are too helpful! I never thought I'd be painting exterior parts on my truck or adding lighting, but you will see things that will pique your interest and most folks will help you copy what they have done.

    Jealous of your garage :thumbsup:

    Well I had a 03 Ram 1ton that I went crazy on fixing up but I needed more room because I got tired of the kids knees in my back all the time. My brother in law had this one and I loved the amount of room plus it looked nice so I bought it. Don't tell my wife but it's another truck I plan fixing up. What do you think of red and the Grey of the truck as a color theme?

    Personally, I enjoy seeing builds and designs that are unique. Too many folks here copying the shit out of each other or worry about what others think, and it's nice when someone comes in w/unique ideas. Kinda like the dude that did/is doing orange and camo; not something I'd do for myself, but it's his and it's unique.... So, in my book, that's a win!!!

    With all the photo editing software, etc. out there these days you should be able to some mock ups pretty easy and get a feel or an idea for your design to see if you like it!

    Good luck w/your build!!!

    Welcome to the forum..

    As far as most useful mods, I'd look into replacing the halogen headlights with 2018+ OEM LED using an @iHacker harness.

    2019 Tundra TRD Pro parts | Toyota Tundra Forum (tundras.com)

    2018+ LED HEADLIGHTS PLUG N PLAY HARNESS FOR 2014-2020 MODELS [V 2.0] | Toyota Tundra Forum (tundras.com)

    I'd also research catalytic converter shields..
