    New to the Sequoia/Tundra scene, but been searching for a decent one for a couple of years... California prices are nuts.

    Now this is going to be strictly tow rig with no off road play. It will be towing my miata with a Futura trailer. So that being said it is a 5.7 RWD, tow pkg, 156k and I got it for 16k Which I think is a great deal.

    Interior is fantastic for an sr5 and only needs a light shampooing (because I’m picky). It came with some sort of Fuel brand wheels and Trailerfinder tires. While Im not at all a fan, tires have plenty of tread and will do until I can save up for a new combo.

    I come from jdm compact scene (miatas, evo’s) so needless to say my styling for this build will feature some Japanese styling.

    Im definitely more function over form but I dont skip on the style. Most of my focus will be suspension, wheels/tires, and brakes. Reducing weight where ever possible and even making sure added parts are as light as possible.
    Im looking forward to building, towing and having some fun with my new sparrow.

    Welcome, I am from FL and am a new Tundra owner, and just got this so I can tow my car to the track as well, first trip coming up in November. They are pretty neat, aren't they! I was looking at Trailex, and then I saw one of these at Sebring, and was sold! No fooling around with ramps :)
