    Hello,
    I'm Tom, and I'm new here. I'm also new to the Tundra platform, but have had a Toyota product before. When we were stationed on Guam we owned a Lexus GX470; it was a great rig, but we decided to sell it to someone else there and pick up something new when we moved State-side.
    Picked up a 2011 SR5 Double Cab TRD Off-Road in Pyrite metallic. The two previous owners have left their marks on the truck and it certainly has "personality", but in some ways that is what drew us to it.

    "Fresh" on the dealer lot...a starting point...every story has a starting point. The name "Drongo" is sticking for the truck. So, welcome to me and Drongo.
    ...Yes, "drongo" is Australian slang for "idiot"...this also seams fairly appropriate...
