    2012 Tundra SR5
    3." King lift with much much more to come
    Hello,

    I hope to document the build of Tow My FJC, a 2012 SR5. Purchased Feb 16th 2017 with 43K miles on it. The only aftermarket Mod was the Leer shell. I promised the wife I would leave it "semi-stock"...in my mind, that means no Cumming Turbo Diesel. Haha


    I will be taking the Tundra up the to the mountains a lot, mainly snowboarding and towing my FJC to go wheeling.

    Here are my other builds:
    FJ4 Tahoe:http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/foru...31-fj4-tahoe-story-two-builds-back-black.html
    Every Thing Under the Sun (FJ4 Tahoe 3)http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/foru...hing-under-sun-sas-third-fj4-tahoe-build.html

    I don't plan on getting all technical on this build, I will make this a picture rich build thread...enjoy

    The day I bought it...
