    My Tacoma was totalled back in 2023. I invested the proceeds, knowing eventually that I'd replace it with a Tundra. Fast forward to November 24. I managed to find a Tundra that ticked all my boxes. All I've done so far is upgrade ALL lighting to LEDs. Everything else was on the truck when I bought it. I've already got a list of things I want to change or upgrade, but I'm loving the extra room over my Taco.

    Yeah, I considered new. Read up about the engine issues... Screw that! I was leaning towards the V8 anyway. That sealed it. I love the V8!

    Legend has it that this forum has a moving blackhole that moves around, sucking money out of people's bank account, but what do I know.... :rofl:
    Watch the https://autoparts.toyota.com/ randomly or not so randomly it would have 20-25% discount, varies categories, sometimes all parts sometimes TRD excluded or included.
    The trick is patience, do your homework, get the parts numbers down in a file/excel/napkin/however you want, and when the discount comes up, order them. Oh, usually we order from East Coast, and free shipping under certain amount. If your total is over, break it into a few orders, unless it is single item then fat luck....

    Welcome, from your neighboring city, Houston.
