    2007 White SR5
    Coming Soon
    I moved to west Texas to start in the oil fields back in June and finally reunited with a Tundra after a long break from having one. I recently picked up a White 2007 SR5 from a dealer with only 87,000 miles on it. The truck has a few dings on the tailgate but the price was good enough that I don't see them.

    A short little history on my Toyota ownership:
    -owned a 1996 Tacoma SR5 10 or so years back before "selling" it to my brother (still has it)
    -had a Red 2011 Double Cab Tundra XSP before selling it for a family car (big mistake)
    -just bought my White 2007 Double Cab SR5 and now I'm here

    Here's a short mod list I'm already ordering/researching and any input is appreciated:

    -Spyder DRL Bar Headlights
    -Toytec HID Conversion
    -Spyder DRL Tail Lights
    -Full LED Interior Conversion (from Amazon)
    -VLED Interior Footwells
    -EAG grille
    -3 inch lift (looking for some advice)
    -18/20 inch black wheels with some streetable but aggressive pattern


    If you're ever in Midland, TX and looking to have a beer, let me know!

    (Uploading pics later when I'm not stuck in BFE southeast New Mexico)

    Welcome from eastern CO! Have a few buddies down in that area working the oil patch.

    As far as the 3/1, depends on what your budget is and what you want to do with the truck. You could go with anything from a spacer kit all the way to a mid travel setup, either way I recommend contacting @Toytec Lifts on here (and staying away from spacers). And if you do a 3/1 and get aftermarket wheels, you're definitely going to want bigger tires sooner rather than later to make it look right.

    Welcome from DFW as well. Actually, I grew up in the Midland/Odessa area. If you ever need suggestions on anything in the area, let me know. I'm actually going to be back that way visiting family come November for the holidays. I hope the housing market hasn't hit you too hard as I hear it's been rather crazy here lately.
