    I've had my Tundra for nearly a year now. I don't have a ton of spare cash to do mods, but I'm doing what I can, when I can. Most of what I have planned is cosmetic, although if I start having fun off-road, that may change. I got a large unexpected bonus at work this year, so that's giving me quite a jump start.

    May I introduce to you, Roland

    This was him when I got him, late last January. He's a 2017 Limited DC

    Started the de-chroming process (badges, handles) and added the stubby antenna

    Next, was work on the interior. I hate having 3 different silver colors (main trim silver, darker silver on the HU, and chrome trim around the vents etc.), they clash badly. This was the first test to get rid of it all. I like it a lot

    Not pictured, I replaced all of the interior light bulbs, cargo light, and license plate lights with LEDs from Amazon. Also added the front/rear footwell lights

    Roland doing what a truck is made to do


    We bought this boat in June and had a ton of fun in it this summer. It's getting a bimini top this winter and will need upholstery in the near future. However, it runs great and it's in a dry storage marina about 10 minutes from the house so it's super accessible.

    In August, I got a truck buddy


    This is Benny. He's a full blood Basset Hound. In this picture, he was about 11 weeks old. Now he's about 7 months and very much a Basshole. But we love him

    This was yesterday morning. Saturday we had 80 degrees and tornadoes, Sunday night we got 4 inches of snow. The weather in Alabama can be bipolar (no pun intended). You may also be able to see the Tyger T3 bed cover.

    Found some time and warmish weather before the snow starts again tomorrow. I'm REALLY liking how it looks and I REALLY love Inferno.

    From factory TRD off road package with 275/65/r18 TRD wheels;
    Did you remove the chrome badges and install black ones or did you cover the chrome badges with black overlays?
