Hey y'all,

My name is Matt and I have a 2011 5.7l double cab SR5 the wife and I call Señor Cinco. I bought it back in 2018 with the primary intent to haul dirt bikes and remove that burden from my Grand Cherokee and MR2, haha (seen below).

A year later I ended up selling the Jeep and restomoding the MR2. I then made the mistake of taking my perfectly functioning, stock Tundra by lifting it 6" and throwing on 35's (currently 37's). I have come to love the truck even more, which is what brings me here today.

I've been creeping through the forums for some time now, taking notes and finding answers as I keep throwing money at this thing. I love how analog this truck is, and how its age doesn't seem to matter, because Toyota. Hopefully I can give back a little as I have taken A LOTTLE while I continue to build this thing!

Welcome from Pennsylvania. Had to chuckle at the bike pulling MR2. Also like the wheels you have on the Tundra, what are they? Methods? Great choice in color!

 

Hello and thank you!

It cracked me up when I found a hitch for it, so I thought, why not! My gear bag fit perfectly in the trunk, so it made for a great sports car and tow pig

And you are correct, the Tundra wheels are Methods!

 

Welcome and nice rig ...how many miles were on it when you got it in 2018 ? All good tips on keeping the 5.7 going strong is what makes Tundras.com the place to be

 

Thanks! It had 104K miles when I picked it up and it’s about to rollover 190K. In that 90K, outside of normal maintenance, I’ve only had to replace the carrier bearing, FL wheel bearing, and left tie rod - Lifted vehicle problems!
