A new Aussie Tundra owner - 2017 Platinum

Hi all,
Well after many years of wanting and about a year of more of searching, I found “the one” and over a month later after initial purchase, I could not be happier! I got a beautiful car in amazing condition for an absolute steal of a price and it’s exactly what I wanted!

I have a heap of parts on order and paid for already, but this is my only disappointment so far - the lack of Tundra parts and accessories available here in Aus given they are relatively rare here (until the new series becomes available as an Australian delivered vehicle) late next year.

Wondering if any other Aussies are active here and if you have been around a while, is there somewhere to get Tundra acccessories with a decent range that is local here in Aus, doesn’t charge like a wounded bull and is reliable?

I’m hunting for a Go Rhino BR5 bumper and a heap of other bits and pieces like headlights etc, but it’s killing me both emotionally and financially!) seeing things like hoods and headlights and other accessories at not totally unreasonable prices in the USA then converting to AUD, dying of disappointment and then having the knife twisted in twice as bad when the shipping costs are often more than the item itself!
Anyway, hey all - I’ll try and attach a pic of my car and I hope to be here a while and show off my little personal touches to my Tundra as things progress!

 

Welcome. You do have a couple of good suspension companies for the Tundra in AUD.
An they both have bumpers. An Ironman has sliders and skids. Don't break the bank, it's a nice truck as it sits!

 

Welcome from NY.

 

The RHD conversions y'all do over there is wild

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

LoL I see you guys going nuts about the conversions!? I don’t really get it - we’re just fixing it so it’s on the correct side lol

 

Welcome! Harrop superchargers is based in Australia…just sayin

 

Welcome from the NC! Too bad about the parts availability, but the 2017 already looks outstanding so you have a good base to start from! Best wishes on your new Tundra!!!

 

Thanks everyone - been over a decade since I was an active member of a car forum and that was for my Toyota Supra on the Australian Supraforums. This is great resource and I have much to learn!

 

Welcome

 

Nice truck and welcome! A little off topic, but feel free to post any scenic pictures. I've always wanted to visit Australia. When I was active duty we were deployed in the Middle East with a few guys from the Australian Air Force. Awesome group of guys and funny as hell.
