    Hey!

    Well, I pulled the trigger on a Tundra last weekend and excited to learn about this platform and make it my own. We’re a Toyota household with me owning 2 80 Series Land Cruisers and my wife with a Corolla and Highlander. The Tundra makes 5 and the only one with less than 200k miles haha. We bought it specifically to build out for long distance family backcountry adventures and camping. It’s a 2019 4x4 Limited Crewmax that we went a ways over our budget for haha. It’s a clean low mile truck, so planning to have it for many years. Another legendary Toyota in the making!

    My first Land Cruiser I bought in 2009 is built out to handle all sorts of travels that me and my family can throw at it, but we are slowly growing out of it and it’s only a matter of time until fitting the 4 of us in it with all our gear and toys just won’t work. It’s likely going to move into a more solo wheeling and camping rig for when I go out solo. The Tundra will be taking over most of the family trips as soon as I can get it built up with the necessary mods and upgrades!

    Cheers

    I went from an 80 to my 2015. I do miss the 80 but the Tundra still puts a smile on my face.

    HaHa! Moved over from Mud to the dark side of the pick up world! I don't even have a rear seat in the back of my 60.
    Being a solo traveller I have a 2010 RCSB but certainly see some advantages of comfort and space in my Tundra.
    I'm still trying to figure out how I want to set mine up. Best of luck and that is a nice starting platform.
    I bought Coastal Offroad front bumper kit, really nice low clearance front bumper option but it's local.
    SOB fabrication makes incredible bumper options for front and rear.
