    Hi All,

    I'm a new Tundra owner from Bakersfield and i just picked up a 2018 SR5. Picked it up last week and its my first Toyota since my first truck when i was 17, that was a 1986 4X4 Standard Cab that i wish i had to this day!

    I bought a 2018 Magnetic Gray Metallic (i think thats the color anyways) SR5. It had 22k miles on it in really good shape.

    It has an Icon suspension system on it, I think its a "Stage 6" since it has the adjustable shocks front and rear, rear leaf's and upper control arms in front. For what it's worth it rides awesome.

    I'm not sure, but i think maybe the front headlights are aftermarket but y'all would know better than I do.

    It has 35's on it and some XD wheels that I'm not a big fan of but they could be worse. I plan to replace them with something with a little more of a mild look.

    Thanks for having me and look forward to some of the info on here! Also, im still working on the paint correction so dont judge me to much lol. I am finished with the bed but you can see the swirls and paint damage that i need to get out of the rest of the truck in one of the pictures.
