    Hey everyone!

    I recently purchased my first car, a 2006 SR5 2WD V6 Tundra with around 190,000 miles. I've been driving in primarily Toyotas my whole life; I grew up overseas where most travel was done in Hilux's with snorkels and plywood seats, and learned to drive in my family's 2006 Prius and 2007 Sienna.

    My Hilux memories are what led me to by a Tundra, and I must say, I have fallen in love. I'm joining this forum in the hopes of learning how to treat this truck right. I'd really like to keep it going for as long as I can, and while I'm not too big maximizing performance, I am not opposed to doing upgrades when I have time/money.

    For starters, I need a hitch receiver. I got a Curt from Home Depot that claimed to fit my truck, but it needed just about an inch more to line up with my frame. Unless I find a thread about it, I think I'll be posting looking for advice soon.

    Anyways, thanks for having me! Here are a couple photos, hopefully I'll get some more fun ones once I can tow.
