    Hi everyone, I am the proud new owner of a 1st generation Tundra double cab SR5. I wasn't planning on it at all actually, but I was down in Texas visiting a sick uncle and he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. He was battling many medical issues and couldn't drive anymore and his medical bills were stacking up, when he tried selling it people would see his situation a little desperate and kept low balling him. Sadly my uncle passed away on New Year's day, a few days after I saw him. Because of this I'd like to keep the truck for as long as I can, It only had 71k miles when I got it, then drove it up to Virginia from Texas over the break. I have to say it has a very smooth ride, barely felt the 2,000 miles in 3 days. From what I've been reading around it looks like the 4.7s are pretty solid engines. I did brakes, timing belt kit, the Takata airbag recalls, cooling system flush and spark plugs before the drive back and it passed the Virginia Inspection without a glitch. Is there anything I should be looking out for, other than yellowed out headlights?

    I haven't taken too many pictures of it. I took this one when I drove it down to Mexico. The truck is as long as the houses are wide.

    A couple things I can think of if you haven't done them. Clean the MAF sensor, grease the driveshaft, change the diff and transfer case oil, and change the transmission fluid.

    I don't think there's any rush to get it done right away though.

    Welcome from CO. 1st gen have a great V-8. Your Uncle seems to have taken good care of that Tundra. Wouldn't hurt to check air/cabin filters if you haven't don that.

    Sweet truck. I haven't seen in mentioned but the ball joints might be good to replace next time you get a chance. They aren't all that expensive to do and give you a lot more piece of mind.
