    Just a normal Guy Serving my country. Just wanted to introduce myself. I am Benjamin from Mississippi, currently live in TX, Houston area, with my wife, two dogs, and our 4 boys.

    I bought my 2014 SR5 Tundra back in Jan '19. I was originally focused on a Tacoma but the wife talked me into a Tundra. Good Choice. I really love this machine. I've put about 20k miles on it since then and it doesn't skip a beat. I can't pass a gas station but hey.... it's better than my old GMC K2500 with the 8.1l.

    I've got the 4WD flavored version and she does pretty good in the ole corn fields.
    Got plenty of upgrade plans written down for her and planning to do some wrenching once I get back home.

    Been studying the forum here for ideas and what not. Got quite a few nice looking rigs here fellas.... and ladies?... maybe. (yep. probably!)

    Anywho, that's my Howdy.

    As a fellow veteran (Navy/Army Reserves, now DoD civilian), thought you might appreciate this.

    A year or so ago I was sorting out some ammo, and remarked to myself "I need some more." (Was short on 9mm and .223.)

    Wife said "Agreed." I looked at her and said ".....you're making fun of me."

    "No, I'm not; we need to buy more ammo," she said.
