    I've been into landcruisers and JDM Toyota 4x4 stuff for most of my life. I've had just about everything but a Tundra! The new 2019 Pro just kinda happened. Was shopping for a used Platinum and stumbled upon a friendly salesperson, lol! I go to pick it up this weekend in Oregon! I'll post a photo of the new Yota when I grab it on Saturday. I'm looking to do a Bullydog tuner on it, I'm familiar with them from the full-size diesel world and trust their tunes. Sold off the last of my big built diesel trucks and I'm down to just Toyota now!
    2019 Tundra TRD Pro
    2014 4Runner
    1993 JDM 1HZJ 77 Landcruiser

    Stoked to be in the forums. I've been a member of several motor sports forums over the years and it's always been fun and educational! Looking forward to this

    My current "weird" rig.

    I've had a few different 4runners and Surfs over the years, one of my favorites! Something about the older removable tops was just perfect. I need another one in my life soon
    The Landcruiser rabbit hole. A whole other dimension of madness.
    I can literally get you anything. If you dare to look. It's intoxicating.

    Welcome Nic. You might wanna grab that tuner quickly. BD just got slapped with a $6 million fine for tunes that shut off emissions control. They might not be around much longer?

    So I assume the forum discount no longer applies? lol!
    All jokes aside. That sucks. It happened in the diesel world and pretty much killed our performance industry. Was fun for a minute.
    I'll be sure to order that thing up ASAP. Is there still a guy on here who tunes/advises?

    Thanks! Yeah, I've been through a few. I've settled on an Italian built Indel-B. True dual zone/dual compressor. The real deal. I think I had a big Dometic in that shoot, Not a fan.

    I had a love/hate relationship with a 75’ FJ-40 during hunting season in Montana.

    Loved it because it would go places that blew my mind.

    Hated it since I was always in the back. Lol

    Hahahaa! Right? I honestly don't take it into the rocks very often. That photo is from a Falken tire shoot we did in Southern California, I forget the name of the location but it was where the Star Trek movie "rath of Kahn" was filmed. Pretty cool spot. I had a Hobie Kayaks event that week as well, hence the kayak in the high desert.

    Been messing around with these Japanese Toyota's for awhile now. If anyone is interested I can easily get pretty much anything. Not cheap, but sooo cool.

    Thanks! I love it. Not setting any landspeed records in it but it'll pretty much go anywhere at med/low speed.
