Whats the purpose of a double cab?

It's not for passengers thats for sure.
It gives me a place to keep things dry and a bit more difficult to steal.
And it discourages people from wanting to ride with me other than my significant other or best Bud if She's not going along for the ride.
Think of it as a Large Glove Box.....
Large enough to hold several rifles and anything else you dont want stolen.

 

Glovebox that holds live animals

 

Thats about the size of it......

 

I like traveling around with 96 cubic feet of fresh air that i bring home to breathe in my caustic air environment my house resides in. People back home depend on me bringing fresh air back, and my Tundra easily obliges

 

In my case, I had no choice. Back in Dec 2021, the demand was so insane that dealers were taking deposits or payments for vehicle allotments that haven't been built yet. Used vehicle prices were also crazy expensive, nearly as much as new prices. I lucked out that the one and only DC on that Dec allotment list was being ignored by other buyers. All of the Crew Cabs were gone when I paid my deposit for my DC.

As for my preferences, I like the look of the DC with the 6.5' bed over the CC with the 5.5' bed. I can't say what it's purpose would be other than being an expanded secured storage area to occasionally carry passengers.

 

My 2008 crewmax had that. Bench seat and a column shifter. I had young kids then. It Also had reclining rear seats. Never understood why Toyota got rid of those reclining rear seats in the crewmax???

 

There’s about 5 in my town at various companies. I have feelers out to purchase when they sell. I haven’t confirmed if they have the bench seat like mine though. I won’t buy if they don’t.

 

Let me know on the ones you do not prefer.

We need a DblCab Tundra 8ft for my 20 year old son who, because of being deaf, he must develop his own business in woodworking and other.

Thank You

 

I will. Not sure how close you are to South Dakota but I’ll keep an eye out.

If he wants to learn to weld as well send him my way; it’s a great combo being able to do both! Can make some cool stuff

 

I love welding, even never being formally trained. A brief,lesson or two, and then years of trial and error, learning to stick metal together has been fun.


Just made some brackets for my class 8 truck where the stock brackets wouldnt work because of rear spring location. Waiting,for them to come back from the powder coating company

 

Will travel for a deal on a much needed Tundra.

I flew from NJ to NC to purchase my 2022 RAM 1500 Hemi with only 2,700 miles on it = non-etorque 5.7 HEMI

 

Thank You for the Weld invite = Danny was asking me about that.

 

Picked up my 14 in Ramsey.

Howdy neighbor

 

Yeah...it's nice having a welder. I was a Machinist and the Guys in the Fab Shop showed me the ropes.
It's nice to have brains to pick that know what they're doing.

 

I had a CM and loved the reclining rear seats but now have a DCLB. Really wish CMLBs were an OEM offering.

 

I hung a fishing bobber from the ceiling.
When it touches the windshield I know i'm good.

 

Howdy,

My first New Tundra came from Prestige Toyota in Ramsey, NJ

It was a 2013 DblCab 4WD with Bench Seat/Column Shifter in BEAUTIFUL Spruce Mica

 

Same place! And the moment I picked her up, as proof !

 

So you watched me buy mine a year earlier and said "I NEED ONE" - lol

 

BINGO !

I went to buy a sex tape of 3 women with one lucky guy, and instead of that,I found video of you buying your Tundra ! Imagine how shocked I was !

 

pre-22 Tundras are contagious.

 

And you can make a bumper for your 94 Hilux, like I just did

 

Yeah it is handy.
Modded my small trailer for the James Baroud pop up tent and awnings.
This is the first edition.
Cant find my latest edition at the moment but it sits on a much larger trailer crosswise at the front of the trailer so the trailer deck is your front porch.
With the larger trailer I can put the SxS on it.
Oh....that last pic is of the larger trailer.

 

Yeah....
You can hang meat in the thing with the A/C!!!!
A must have if you're going to be camping in the summer in Texas!!!

 

Added some meaty tires and did the axle flip(axle is under the leaf springs rather than above them)

 

Oh...the racks on either side of the tires are for holding 10 gallons of extra gas and 10 gallons water.
You need the extra gas if you do the trip down Padre National Seashore.
It's 60 miles of sand one way and it drinks the gas!!!
Learned the hard way on our first trip!!
Figured a full tank would be plenty since it's only 120 miles round trip.
WRONG!!!!
From Corpus Christi all the way to Mansfield pass and the Mexican Border.
We saw a lot of illegals walking the beach after swimming across the Pass.

Oh....The Fishing is Fantastic!!
Damn Near Zero Fishing Pressure!!
We'd bring the Kayaks and paddle out past the surf and you'd Slaughter the Redfish and Trout!!!
I'll try and dig up some Pics.

Oh...and it's completely uninhabited!!!

I guess it's obvious but I rigged the trailer specifically for running down Padre Island.
While I'd love to drag the the Lance down the beach It Ain't Happening!!!

 

Yeah....Pretty sure you can guess what the small Green Tent is for...

 

The Biggest Bitch was making the Awnings work without binding.
You'd get everything lined up and the welding would pull it out of alignment.
The answer was tossing a wet rag on the weld before it cooled.
It would pull everything back into alignment.

 

Another Nice Feature of the A/C....
It has a remote so you can adjust the temp without getting out of bed.
At what point is it no longer camping?
