    Hey everybody,

    Last year, the wife totaled my Infiniti Q50 [3.0L twin turbo :')]. Loved that car, but it wasn't super practical for my fishing and snowboarding habits... I ended up picking up a black 2007 SR5 doublecab with 106k miles for $13k. I've had it for about 6 months, and I love it.

    My impression is that the truck is lifted and has aftermarket wheels and tires, but the guy I bought it off didn't know much about it. Since buying it, I added a soft bed cover and a remote start so I can let it warm up in the winter. Anything else I should be thinking about to improve?

    Excited to be a part of this community!

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! It looks levelled (slight lift) and definitely aftermarket wheels and tires. It looks great as is!

    Welcome from NY.

    Those are Toyota Rock Warriors wheels. I believe they were from 2007 to 2014.

    Only thing that needs improving on these truck are the MPGs :laugh:

    Welcome!

    What part of NH? Such a beautiful state. The Kancamagus Highway and the White Mountains blow me away every time I go up there.

    Yeah, the MPG is not great lol... My motto has always been that the important thing is smiles per gallon rather than miles per gallon. Fuel economy is less important if you love what you're driving.

    I live in the Seacoast area, on the border with Maine, but we spend a lot of time in the Whites with skiing and hiking. Its a great place.
