    Hey all just bought a big ol tundra. I’m new to the tundra and want some advice. I bought it from an auction and just want too look at all the possible issues. I’m going to change the oil this week. What else should I be on the lookout for? Thanks all

    Ps. the truck has a bulletproof 12 inch lift and is sitting on 38’s

    Off the top of my head, oil change and a full brake job never hurts to do when buying used. You know it’s fresh and good to go as far as engine lubrication and stopping on a dime goes. Beyond that, as to not waste time or money. Check with your local Toyota dealer and see if there is any service history with them. You might find some maintenance history online somewhere too. Don’t quote me on it but I think carfax will show it, been a while since I was on there. Assuming you get some service history you can pretty much go from there. Good news is you got a Toyota and Japanese manufacturers designed these cars/trucks knowing American consumers miss maintenances so they’re near bullet proof lol just my two cents for another item would be remove that bull bar/bumper. My personal preference is I’ve never been a fan on most designs and added weight mainly but hey if you’re happy with it then more power to you!
