    Hi, just bought my first Toyota 4x4. Have wanted one for 25 years but my VW bus obsession has always come first. I am happy to say I have one of each now.

    The Tundra is a 2005 DC that came with all the goodies. Truthfully, after 25 years of building VW's, I am happy to have bought, not built this truck.

    I plan to black out the rims and have pulled the canopy for now. I'm looking for a rack for kayaks etc.

    Yes, it's well taken care of with 205 k km so about 127k miles.

    I had one just like it..sold a few years back. Not nearly as nice, and lowered. Learned to weld on it!

    Edit: here's a pic- sorry for all the Vw pics, I can't resist!

    Now that is a nice 1st gen! Make sure timing belt/water pump have been changed recently (should have been done at 90k but many put it off til 115-120k) and you will be set for a long time!
