    A couple of weeks ago I took delivery of a '25 SR5 Crewmax. I was not planning on one but my 2015 developed a coolant leak in #7 cylinder. It still runs but it's going to need a rebuild or another engine. I haven't decided what I want to do with it yet.

    I never planned on getting a V6, but honestly, all I miss is the sound of the V8 through the Flowmasters.

    Hi everyone. I've been on a couple of other Tundra forums in the past but they were not very active. This one seeems to be different.

    I got my 2015 Tundra Limited Double Cab 4x4 in December 2014. So this December will be 9 years. So far I have 225,000 miles on it. Mostly on the highway as I used it for work untill about a year ago. Now it's just for personal use. I did have an ARE cap on it but it's been removed. I also have a Bed Slide but it's coming out soon. I like an open bed. I was pulling a cargo trailer that weighed about 8,000 pounds loaded some but not anymore.

    It has been lifted 4 inches. Has 2 inch centering wheel spacers behind the stock 20x8.5 wheels. Currently I have Toyo Open Country 305 R55 x20's mounted. These are my 5th set of tires including the stock tires that came with it. My other tires have been Nitto Terra Grappler G2's and Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Out of them all I liked the Ridge Grapplers the most. They wore even. I also have Bilsteen Nitogen Gas shocks for a 4" lift.

    I had considered installing aftermarket wheels but I really like the look of the stock ones so I decided to save my money.

    Truck is pretty much stock except for the mild lift. I did though replace the two into one muffler with a two in and two out Magnaflow and duals out the back.

    I replaced the battery at about 5 years with a Optima gel cell. Other than that I had issues with the fuel pump and had it replaced. Seems that others have had problems too. I recently had my alternator give out so that's new. I expect my starter will be next at some point. I have a remote starter from Toyota and I've used it a lot on hot and cold days before I've driven.

    Looking forward to being in the forum.

    My '25 SR5 and "15 Limited. I plan to change the trim around the grill, the grill. I'll see on the headlights as I go but I'm thinking I'll change them out.
    Wheels and tires. I'm going to stick with 18's though and mount 70's or 75's. 195/75r18 is what I'm considering. My '15 has 305/55r20's. This new truck looks plain, dull and boring compared to the higher models. Those I believe are probably the nicest looking trucks toyota has ever made. I really like the ones that are white.

    I posted here as I haven't been active and I consider my self new still. Maybe I'll get a little more active here now. So, hello from Raleigh NC.
