    2014 Tundra Platinum
    Hi All,
    Converted from a longtime 2500HD Chevy truck owner to my first Tundra. Bought a "new to me" 2014 Platinum Tundra. The wife an I are now emptynesters and downsizing in just about all aspects of our lives. Only problem I have with my Tundra is my yellow Lab's fur contrasts pretty substantially with the black interior...(I should have thought that one through a little better.) :)

    Retired from the Marine Corps after 33 years...mostly flying jets from aircraft carriers. I consider it a successful career, with an even number of take offs and landings!

    (Yes, I am a maintenance freak, every time i touch the truck, I have a spreadsheet of work done, parts replaced, cost, date and mileage.) For some reason, folks like buying vehicles from me.

    Thanks for a great forum to gain some knowledge.

    Welcome from Portland. I fixed that fur problem by only taking the wife's 4Runner anytime we take the dog.:rofl:

    Welcome from Colorado. Semper Fi!
    My dad was a Marine Aviator. He retired in 65. I was in the Wing too. Maintenance support. Calibration. 4 years at MCAS Iwakuni was my longest stint. 1 year at MCAS New River. Deployed to Oki five times at Kadena AFB with Marine squadrons temp based out of Iwakuni. F-4's most of the time. AV8-C's one time but that unit wasn't temp based out of Iwakuni. Good times! 78 to 84.

    Welcome aboard! I am originally from Seattle and transplanted to Dallas, Texas on 2006. I am a converted F-150 guy owning a 2012 Texas Edition Tundra. It is,"new to me" and I have enjoyed it daily over the past 24 months.

    I am a retired Navy P-3 Orion (submarine hunter) Aircrewman responsible for the weapons systems & ordnance. I flew for 20 years and enjoyed every damn minute of it too.

    Oh, I keep every receipt pertaining to my truck's (a.k.a Flying Pig) maintenance like yourself, but I do like your idea of noting them onto a spreadsheet. Again, welcome aboard.
