    Vehicle:
    2016 Black CM Tundra TRD Off Road
    4:88s and Auburn LSD, dealership faux Pro, 35" BFGs on XD wheels, OME Lift with Dakars
    2010 Lexus GX460, in other parts of the world this is a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.

    These things wont happen overnight, it will be a work in progress kind of thing.

    Why?
    Mi Reina liked it!
    It has the 4.6 liter V8, plus low mileage.
    It was a really good price.
    It already had, sliders, bumpers and tire carrier and winch.
    It had 33"s and aftermarket wheels.
    It's super comfy on the trails and getting to the trails.
    RELIABLE

    Maintenance coming up:
    Brakes
    Air filter and cabin filter
    Adjust parking brake
    Spark plugs in about 4000 miles
    Gear boxes

    His first mods:
    OME 887 heavy coilovers
    OME rear shock
    ICON 3" overland progressive rear coils, rated to 660lbs.
    SPC UCAs

    These should be installed in a week or 2.

    I would like to do something with the exhaust. Hopefully @dirtydeeds gets back to me soon.

    I have the factory wheels so maybe I'll put some kind of 285/75/17 (34") on them for the seriously fun trips. Something like KM3s. Second set of wheels and tires seems like a good idea, at least while I have been drinking. Who knows!

    Things to come further down the road:
    4.56 gears, maybe 4:88s, he's heavy. Probably 4.88s!
    LSD or fully locked, need to do some research on this.
    Roof rack
    More lights
    Install my ProWatt 3500W inverter
    Onboard air
    Long distance backup commo. P.A.C.E
    Add another battery.
    A small generator for my CPAP machine
    Wrap or PROCOTE? Dont know yet.

    Lift is on, time to start saving for the next mods. I did speak with Keith @dirtydeeds yesterday. They do have an option for Mongo. So exhaust may be the next thing to happen. 1 for the Tundra and 1 for Mongo.
