    Howdy yall

    2021 Tundra XP

    Bought in Florence, Alabama. I drove from KY for the trade.

    I ordered my Taco and upgraded it exactly how I wanted. It was fun but it was time to become a man. So with this one I want to keep the upgrades simple. I will level it, new/slightly bigger tires (cause the ridge grapplers are toast) and add remote start.

    Gonna use the search function to the best of my ability. Looking for good leveling kit and remote start options.

    Tried to add picture, but having a hard time getting website to upload. Oh well, it's a Siler Tundra with XP package.

    HA!

    That color is sweet. It's nothing against Tacomas, just wanted a v8 and more room. Well... two things about the Tacoma I grew to hate, that 3.5L didn't perform and the tune was bad bad (even after an an after market tune).

    Wow, OG hang glider! Very cool.

    You don't see many of those anymore now that everyone is paragliding.

    I live pretty close to Torrey Pines glider port and surf Blacks beach right below all the winged lunatics, had a surfing buddy when I was younger who was a hang glider, I used to go up and watch him fly.

    Yeah, its everywhere unfortunately. The full vid my husband took theres sixteen paragliders on this small hill with me. Dodged them for fifteen mins and ended up having a couple push me out of the lift band. They suck a giant dong.

    When you level it choose a suspension lift over blocks/spacers. Lots of options out there.

    If you don't off-road or wheel much 5100 second setting should get you level and not need anything else like uca's or diff drop. This is the best option IMO to level the truck without paying a lot of money. OME is a better shock with a stiffer spring to account for bumpers, winches, etc... I personally have 5100's and am happy with them for what I do with my truck.

    This is great advice, I don't plan on getting crazy in this truck. Gonna pull and boat, will that change the thoughts on 5100?

    You're on the right track. Depending on how heavy a boat you're talking about, maybe add sumo or timbren bump stops in the back with 5100's up front on second setting.
