    Hey everyone new tundra convert from Ram, always wanted one but the deal was never right, finally had enough of my last Ram after manifold bolts, and metallic glitter in the oil (camshafts made of butter) I found a 2016 1794 MGM crewmax that now feels like home!

    Plans for bilstein 5100s all the way around mid or top setting up front
    colour match most of the truck, still undecided, already replaced all lights with LEDs

    wheels are the ordered black trd offroad replicas, and going with K02s 275 70r18
    Look forward to reading up and finding out more info and mods!20210913_134355.jpg

    2016, prior to that I had a 2010 tuned and absolutely perfect, unfortunately lost the power steering pump while on vacation and was told I had a 3 week wait. Impulse bought the 2016 it was a loaded sport but never felt as good as my 2010 no matter what I did, changed the oil last week saw the glitter and could hear it under acceleration and that was it, moved on before it gernaded, tundras always been a favorite and I'm loving it so far!

    I had a 17 express and while there were several things I loved about it, it staaaayed in the shop. Should have known. You'll have better luck with the tundra!

    Congrats on your Tundra
    We had a 2012 and 2014 Ram … can honestly say moving on to our 2016 Tundra 1794 with no regrets.
    I installed the pro suspension / grill and Bumber and colour matched most of the chrome.
    If your Driving mainly on the paved road I recommend a rear sway bar if it’s not on yours already. Definitely makes it a lot nicer on the corners.

    I got super lucky and the truck had the TRD sway bar already done! It was in the plans for mods so one more checked off the list!

    Right on.
    I flipped back and forth on the chrome delete for a bit but glad I did do it. E01AC363-02D8-408E-B7DC-B8F029695D19.jpg F61AFB19-6F12-439D-A53C-91C5554C477F.jpg
    Yours will even look better without the chrome!!

    for sure! love the pro look but 1794 interior set up!

    I've found mirror caps,door handles and grille no problem but bumper caps seem to be the hold up in Canada.. haven't found anything so I'm not sure if I should just send mine in for paint or buy another set and do it that way

    Ya I ended up finding some bumper covers in white after looking for a long time and right after getting them a full pro bumper came up for sale right close to us so I re-sold the white end caps and picked up the complete assembly.
