    Okay, so I'm a noob to Tundra personally (dad had 2 and a taco), but after 6 4runners, FJ Cruiser, 2 GX 470's, a GX 460, and an 80 series Land Cruiser. So you know I have lost many 10mm sockets.

    I am coming from 4runner (The Kracken). I had it overbuilt for Houston life, and could not afford to get a Land Cruiser. Plus I have life needs that say truck is more ideal. The 4runner was pretty much too road warrior 24/7. Until I can afford a crawler, Tundra it shall be. So far I'm digging the Tundra life.

    Things I love about the new diggs. Power Oh Oh OH, much more power than my armored up 4runner. Looks great! Well it is near Toyota perfection of many fronts.

    Unfortunately, I have my bitches. Sound system trashed, sound dampened it and solved using OEM+ syste. (I get giddy about that) The sunglass hold really won't hold a basic pair of Costas or Maui Jims? Storage space, can SOME thought be put into that. If I didn't find my ESP full underseat lock box I'd be pissed at the whole situation. Now the rifle has a happy concealed home.

    I look forward to digging in on past posts, or posting about something like my new Bantam SPod install and or review.

    I'm on west side. Duc is putting in my suspension, in fact I just dropped it off. If you are from Spring Branch and don't know Duc, I'd be surprised. I would like to see some Houston get togethers happen. So let me get it back, and throw some more of my Christmas goodies in...stalled, and hell yeah. Let's get together.

    Welcome. If you have the JBL HU, you can get in on the group buy. If not, you still can and just get an adapter, I believe.

    I appreciate it, but I put in an OEM+ system in, and am pleased as punch. So nice

    I haven't figured this system out yet, but I figure somehow we can friend, and message. Then I'll get with bayou city cruisers and see if we can get something going. Otherwise, we can meet for lunch or ride with the Jeepers. We'll get something going. Do you wheel?

    My 4runner had a button called labeled "party mode" I miss that. (it basically sent more bass to the tail door speakers)

    That is why my sales dude told me don't even bother upgrading just for a system. So I bought my Tundra, took the system and threw it on the GROUND!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAYL5H46QnQ

    I added ballistic mat as well.
