    My name is will I am now an owner of a tundra for over 2 months now and I love it. I recently had a kid and I was looking to upgrade from my 2015 sti for more space and found my self test driving a ton of vehicles. I knew I wanted a truck and I really liked the ram I had test drove but they weren’t willing to work with me. I then found my self going through car gurus and found a 2017 limited magnetic with 4x4 and a crewmax I fell in love with it . And today I finally got to spice it up a little.

    Congrats on the little addition and welcome to the forum. My two boys love the crewmax, tons of room and it’s easy to throw all that extra items the wife wants to bring for for the kids.....

    Thanks for everyone’s congratulations. Just as a little more background I came from only ever owning cars that sit low my last car was a 2015 sti so stepping into a crewmax tundra has really showed me how much space we have in this truck. Don’t get me wrong though I loved my sti, the only thing I miss is the speed, but the tundra rides so good. I was originally not considering a tundra cause all the “reviewers” say it rides harsh other than the ram 1500 this vehicle drove the best of the vehicles I test drove. Picture of my old car Scarlett just because I still miss her.

    If possible could you provide me the link to trimming the front bumper for bigger tires. Since my truck is the limited it came with 275/55r20 on the 20x9 rims and I just installed 20x9.5 black rhino arsenal rims on 295/55r20 Ko2’s and I’m on stock suspension. I have a little rub but not bad.
