    Hey guys
    Having had a Lexus sport coup for a number of years, I knew I had to get a Toyota even though I was considering the 4Runner, Tundra, and Tacoma but happy a few of you kept me focused on the Tundra for size and work--Thanks. A few of you followed my search for a 2006 Tundra on some other threads over the past month(s)and glad to finally have picked up my 2006 Tundra 4x4 with 105K miles just a few days ago. She was only about 20 minutes away from me even though I was considering traveling much further to pick a low mileage one up. She was really clean inside and out, no dings or dents, just a few small scratches. Immediately dropped her off for timing belt and water pump, ordered BFG tires for install tomorrow morning:thumbsup:, step bars, hood and window deflectors, weathermax front floor mats, and will most likely have to get some a custom stereo upgrade (link me to those threads please). Oh, and definitely rebadging!!! I need to be reminded everytime I look at her!!! Also going to get a matching camper shell but hoping to get one cheap used locally in time. My daughter and I immediately took her to the beach and watched the sunset from the bed of the truck with our TINY rescue dog. Tonight we're doing the drive-in (yeah they still have those around:thumbsup:. Glad to be a Tundra owner finally!

    Patience paid off!!! You can change your "looking for 2006 " info now. Lived in Tustin and Santa Ana in the mid 60's as a military brat..MCAS Tustin, MCAS El Toro. Son of an Aviator....A bit different now....
