    I bought myself a gentlemanly Tundra yesterday. I've been looking for awhile.

    2012 Platinum black with gray leather, 115k, bought in TX and owned in TN, one minor FL collision, no rust.

    I'm psyched. I think I've had over 150 vehicles if my wife and friend's count is right. I never count. So, I've had about everything out there but I plan on keeping this one a long time. There is very little I will change on it. I have sold all other toys and travel extensively for work. I just want a 'does everything' truck for the weekends.

    Anyone who feels like linking me info on some of my fixes upgrades, please fire away! I'm researching lots of things now.

    Needs: 1.Right door mirror glass is baked, ordered new last night
    2. Several small scratches (black truck :( ), planning on a full buff and touch up job then ceramic coating, haven't tried the stuff yet
    3. Aim headlights and consider upgrades
    4. Sonar/park assist is all wacky when I turn it on, false alarms from FL corner likely due to accident
    5. New windshield this week, original (likely) is scratched
    6. For some reason this truck has two different step bars on it. Subtly different. I didn't notice and I notice everything. My friend pointed it out to me when I was showing him. May just pull em.
    7. Horn doesn't work. Fuse and wiring good. I likely have the clock spring issue.

    Today I'll start the clean up and move in process. This includes my big rack with RTT, awning, area lights and extras I will be removing from my Sierra.

    Yeah, I know, "this thread is worthless without pics". Picture your average black Tundra Platinum with way too much chrome and 20"s. I'll be keeping those, actually, but replacing the Michelins with KO2's.
