    Hello all from SE Wisconsin,

    Been lurking quite a bit as of late and decided to finally just join the community. I have a 2018 SR5 Crewmax, with the TRD Off Road package and it is my forever vehicle. I've had lots of cars, trucks, motorcycles and suvs in my life and I still, after a year and a half or so of ownership, love this truck. It is my first full size pickup. It is mainly stock. I did add a full BedRug classic bedliner and a soft, tri-fold tonneau cover. I'm finally getting to replace the stock tires, probably later this month. (hence what started me just looking around this forum) I must say, there is a lot of knowledge out there and I am very excited to learn more about it as I slowly mod this truck. Hopefully a sway bar soon, maybe some cosmetic changes, and then, who knows... Again, thanks for all the wonderful posts I've been reading and I look forward to many more.

    Welcome from Utah. You have joined the land of many mods and many dollars. Try the mod list. One of my favorites is the FRAC harness with the front camera. Just did new wheels and tires myself and Falcon shocks and both front and rear sway bars.

    Just a nice basic truck, it is my daily driver. No crazy high lifts or 35” mud runners for me. No need for any real performance upgrades. Might want to add a nice cat back muffler replacement for a deeper sound, not necessarily louder. 21DC5842-4567-42C0-B2B8-50D384897902.jpg7E48A2A8-6064-4F8D-B422-5590D131B283.jpg

    I'm in the Milwaukee area. I have been reading and checking out a lot of these posts for quite some time, over a year now. I almost feel guilty for not joining sooner. I am no fan of the snow lately, the beer is still best in the world.
