    Just joined the other day as I was hoping to pick up my first Tundra this weekend. And here she is! An '08 with only 74k on the clock was too good of a deal to pass up.

    5.7L V8 double cab Tundra Grade. Full records of maintenance at the dealership going back to when it was purchased brand new and only had 1 previous owner. It isn't high end...but still a great truck.

    Also has a little sentimental value already, because it's the color of my Dad's Tundra. He passed 6 years ago and my brother needed a vehicle, so it made sense for him to take the truck. But now we both have one that reminds us of him!

    Well...it did have stains on the carpet and a few splashes on the seats from something being spilled, probably by a kid since it originated from the back seat. And the previous owner just put Husky liners over it rather than clean it. So I spent a few hours and a can of carpet and upholstery cleaner taking care of that when I got it home. Worked great! And it helped me to talk the seller down by $1500 so that was cool too.

    Nice. Looks like you just bought a 4Runner as well. This one is a 2020.

    Yes! Wanted to get my wife something newer so we got a '21 4Runner. For my truck, I just wanted something I could get for cash with low enough mileage.

    Your 4Runner looks great btw. I'm looking forward to doing some upgrades on ours!

    Before I forget, I would look into cat protection plates due to all of the thefts.

    I have to respect anyone who's willing to drive a Tundra with the gas prices out there! I was born and raised there and moved to Houston 9 years ago.

    Northwest side of town. For all practical purposes I'd say I live in Cypress but I have a Katy zip code.
