    Figured I'd introduce myself. This is my second white tundra in 7 or so years. I loved my 06 but sold it to build another Landcruiser. After several years without a truck, I finally decided on this 2014 4x4 limited crewmax. I found a one owner low mileage truck a few hours away and pulled the trigger. It was stock when I bought it and I've since done a few things to make it more to my liking. I drove it for a few hundred miles to get a feel for it and decided what suspension to get. After a bunch of research and talking with folks like David Ekstrom, who as you all know is very helpful and accessible, I decided on bilstein 6112 on the top setting with 5160 rear and 3+ coach builder shackles. I also ended up getting the zone UCA's that seem to be doing a fine job. The install on all of this was straight forward and went on with relative ease. I found a set of stock 18" wheels for a great price and bought 295 cooper st max which I have on my 80 series Landcruiser and love them. Oh yeah and 1.25" spidertrax spacers that move things where they need to be. So far I'm overly pleased with how it rides and feels. There's a few small bugs that I'm working out but that's just the way it goes when you start this madness. The info I've got from here is great and I'll try to contribute as I learn my way around this truck so thanks for the help thus far, Ill post more as my journey continues.

    Hello Paul and welcome from San Diego. Nice choice of a truck. I always have been and still am a fan of the OEM wheels. My SR5 came with steel wheels and I found some take-offs at Toyota Carlsbad and had them powder coated. Nice job on the mods to your truck !

    Truck looks sick! Love those tires. I'm running the same ones on the pro wheels with bora 1in wheel spacer as well.
    Your about two hours south of me. We may cross paths, feel free to wave. :cheers:
