    DD here from Oregon City, OR.

    I purchased my 2017 Platinum Crewmax just under 2 years ago. Since then I have gotten to know the truck’s limitations very well as a bone stock factory Tundra.

    During this time, I have spent countless hours reading honestly every suspension and performance mod forum on this site in an effort to determine what, if anything, I wanted to achieve with my Tundra beyond what Toyota was able to provide.

    After careful consideration I chose the following items for my build:

    -Magnuson supercharger
    -bullydog tuner
    -Elka suspension
    -Auto start
    -Black powder-coat OEM wheels
    -Factory match tinted windows
    -OEM tonneau cover

    The result:

    A luxury 4x4 sleeper with strong responsive power in all ranges, that brings forced air induction and suspension dampening together in a way that makes the once boat-like beast nimbly absorb washboards like butter, float speed bumps in way that says “let’s hit that faster next time”, accelerates like a sports car, keeping you on the look out for pot holes so you can drive into them, leaving a 16 year olds first car grin on your face till you fall asleep.

    How about a race?

    Last night my buddy and I met up on a back road near our homes. Lots of farm land huge paved roads no cops....perfect!

    His ride - 2018 ford raptor with the 802a pack custom wheels on and on and on - 90k investment.

    My ride - what he thought was a stock tundra with black wheels “bro let’s see how bad you beat me”.

    3,2,1 go.... aaaaaand he saw
    nothing but tail lights! 3 car lengths spread by the time I hit 110mph.

    Thx everyone here so much for providing helpful detailed reviews for people like me, making their (material 4x4) dreams come true!

    Welcome, nice truck! They say white is the fastest color without the added boost. I miss my SC Taco, but can't justify the money, with the wife, for the SC on my Tundra yet.
