    Hey All,

    Trav here. I wanted to say hey and thanks for the welcome to the forum! I have been reading through for tips on fixes for the last few years now and got a ton of info for the upcoming build this weekend, so its time to introduce myself. Im a wildlife biologist for the state of Nevada, mostly dealing with game species such as deer, elk, bighorn sheep, etc... I spend a ton of time driving around the state, and get most of my good off-roading in on hunts.

    Anywho! I was lucky enough to come across a 2006 Tundra with only 69k miles on it 2 years ago. Over the last year Ive had some suspension problems resulting in all new lower control arms and ball joints, and more recently SPC upper control arms in attempts to get alignment issues taken care of. Then a coilover blew....so I decided to take advantage of the opportunity...I ordered Toytec Boss front 3" coilovers, Toytec rear shocks, and their progressive 3-AAL pack. I'll be installing it this weekend and have some 285/75/16 Nitto Ridge Grapplers waiting for me at the shop on Monday. I hope things go well and that Ill have pics to share by Monday. Thanks for all the info I have received from this forum and all thats coming, hopefully at this point I've learned enough to know what Im doing and wont be digging for too many solutions during the build.

    Trav
