New guy from NE Indiana 1st gen Tundra

Hello everyone, long time site lurker that just joined up.

I actually traded for my 2000 Tundra SR5 AC and fell in love with it. Has 218,850 on it and runs amazing. In the last 6 months I have replaced;

timing belt, water pump, high amp alternator, radiator, spark plugs, 1 ignition coil, front big brake upgrade kit with drilled/slotted rotors (the Power Stop kit Z36?), new front brake lines, steering rack & pinion, new poly bushings for the rack, inner & outer TRE's, new solenoids in the tranny, tranny full service, and mobil 1 full synthetic. And just for fun, a sound system. New hands free calling sony headunit with all the extras, and (4) 6 3/4" kicker speakers. 2 in front door & 2 in rear. New headlight and turn signal housing & refurbished the fog lights housings. New bulbs for all as well. All LED's bulbs in the interior.

*Yes I know, this thread is useless without photos. I will get some!

I will be building a custom bed from scratch for it over the next couple months. Father in law owns a fab shop so I will be cheating and using his equipment and hit experience!

Been upgrading things on my Tundra over the last year and now looking into modifying/upgrading. I follow the "what have you done to your tundra" thread pretty religiously and my next venture is a lift. Looking at possible Toytec boss, Eibach pro-truck kit, maybe OME nitrochargers, and SPC UCA's. I want something with lower maintenance. Living in NE Indiana means road salt and crappy weather. I'm worried that would eat uniballs, & possibly adjustable/rebuildable coilovers for that matter.

If anyone who has input on the subject would comment on my other thread, I would really appreciate any and all advice.

As promised, Photos. She an ugly ol' girl for now. Will be building a bed completely from scratch and front bumper. Will do the bed all in black bedliner. I'll be doing the truck in white bedliner. The KMC wheels will be a bronze kind of color. I have a lot of plans for her, but for now I'm making it mechanically perfect before I tackle how ugly she is! haha!
