    Hello Tundra family :wave:

    My name is Mike, I'm a long time member over on Tacomaworld (same username).
    I'm an employee at AutoAnything and have been running a group buy and discount thread over there and have been approached to start one for you guys as well.
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/autoanything-group-buys-and-discounts.497320/

    I wanted to join and introduce myself prior to creating a discount thread.

    Bought my truck new in 2007 at Stevens Creek Toyota in San Jose, lived in Santa Barbara for a few years for school, moved back to the Bay Area for a couple years and now I'm down in San Diego.
    My truck was built pretty darn slowly, I am not one made of money haha. Started with some bilstein 5100s and worked my way up from there. Currently have All Pro leaf springs with fox rear shocks out back with Icon coilovers, TC ucas and maxtrac spindles up front.
    My build thread if anyone is interested - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...s-radiant-red-dcsb-prerunner-build-bs.428836/

    Also any members in the socal (San Diego) area are more than welcome to join in on our Thursday night meets :cheers:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...y-meets-12-21-belching-beaver-brewery.473545/


    I hope I can help out and save some money for you guys while also making some new friends during the process!

    Thank you for allowing me to join in the fun on your forum!

    - Mike

    That's my home turf! (Kinda)
    Grew up in Los Gatos, then lived up in the Santa Cruz mountains off bear creek, later lived down the street from the shark tank. Chomp chomp!

    :rofl:

    I've thought about it a lot. I have a friend with a mostly stock Crew Max 5.7L and DAMN does that truck get moving! I really like the styling of the 14+ model years. The Kris (@Spvrtan ) lives near me, so seeing that giant tank rolling around is also inspiring, but I know I'm not going to be rolling on 40" tires. Still working towards 35" for my little taco :turtleride:
