    9D8E4E64-0C08-40C1-9E34-F7E95641013A.jpg Hey everyone.

    As title states, new to the full-size game but definitely a longtime toyota alumni. Cut my teeth on a 79 or 80 pickup, owned two 3rd Gen pickups, currently in a 95 4Runner which has taken me to Panama and back and literally everywhere in between.

    Just stepped up into an 08 DC Tundra for work, poor old 4Runner was tired of hauling all my tools. I’m a carpenter by trade so I’m looking forward to having to space I need to properly store all my gear.

    But let’s be honest, I can’t just drive a stock Tundra! And this will probably end up taking over as my DD as well, at well over 600,000 km’s it’s time to put the Runner into semi-retirement. So stoked to have a new vehicle to mod and play with.

    Let the information mining begin! I’ve been lurking for a day already and have to say there are a ton of gorgeous rigs on here!!
