    Hello!

    My name is Jess and I am currently located in Central California. I have been off car related forums for quite some time now but figured I would give it a shot after lurking around for a few days. I didn't realize how hard it is to find a clean 1st gen tundra at a decent price, considering how old they are now. Ideally, I would love to have an 05-06 limited 4x4 with lower mileage. Basic modifications are okay but would like to eventually do a small overland built with it. Plan to camp with it and haul dirtbikes in the bed.

    I've had my fair share of project cars and kinda miss working on them. Here's a few of them:
    • 87 Trans Am
    • 95 Miata (x2)
    • 91 Nissan 240sx
    • 95 Nissan 240sx(drift car)
    • 2005 Neon SRT4 (300whp)
    • 97 Toyota 4runner (should have never sold it)
    • 2016 Mustang Gt
    I hope to find a Tundra soon so I can start tinkering in my garage. Any input on those years listed above or Tundras for basic off-road is appreciated. Stay safe everyone

    Hey, did you notice I assumed you lived in Beverly Hills? Entered 90210 as zip code. Only one I knew for California, of course, from the old TV show!

    Pulled the trigger on an 05 limited 4WD. Needs to be detailed and some trim pieces replaced but drivetrain is STRONG.

    Already put 400 miles on it
