    Hey guys!

    Just wanted to say hi. I’m in the process of buying a 2012 MGM Rock Warrior from a close friend of mine. I’ll have it in the driveway this Saturday, but I have to wait for his lien release letter to arrive from TFS before I can license and register it. I hear it could take a couple weeks.

    I currently have a 2011 Tacoma. My wife and I bought a new camping trailer this fall, and it’s right at the max capacity of the Taco (okay, it’s a little over, fully-loaded). I love my Taco, but when my friend mentioned he was trading in his Rock Warrior, I didn’t hesitate. Now I just have to sell the Taco.

    So...is there anything that a new Tundra should be aware of, that might not be obvious? What are the most popular mods? The truck will be my DD. It probably won’t go off road much - just some seasonal roads and the fields at my in-laws dairy farm.

    Thanks all!
    Dave

    Welcome. Always liked the Rock Warrior. I’m contemplating a set of RW wheels for my Pro though.

    Hey again everyone! I spent a good portion of the evening yesterday going through the 2nd gen section, some of the builds, and the DIY section. I might even have placed an Amazon and an AutoAnything (thanks for the discount @eccracer104!) order.

    Anyway, here she is:

    1a.jpg

    2a.jpg

    I'm planning to install a Grillcraft MX mesh grill and add some lights behind the grill similar to my Tacoma, and mount some lights in the rear bumper. I'm also thinking of losing the tube steps. I've always admired these wheels. The rings each have a little corrosion around a couple of the screw heads, and the center caps also have some corrosion. I haven't looked up how much they are to replace, but I'm assuming they are pricey. Maybe I will try painting them (gun metal? black?).


    Hey neighbors! Perma, I'm very close to you, in the Town of Rodman!
