    After selling my 2005 LX470 I was searching for a Tundra DC now finally got it...
    61200 miles, 285/70 17 on FJ Cruiser OEM wheels, and what I believe is a 2" spacer lift in the front which I plan to replace with a suspension lift involving Bilsteins + coils
    Will switch the bed cover to a TruXedo TruXport Soft Roll Up Tonneau Cover which I find more useful for me than the installed Snugtop.
    Only the wobbly gear selector kind of bugs me...I have read about a bushing kit that can remedy that...

    Nice truck! Curious as to how much a low mileage DC goes for in Taiwan? Are Tundra's common there?

    I paid 23k US$ usually they got between 100 to 150k miles and the price rotates around 16k. The Tundras and Tacomas are very popular here in Taiwan, they're imported by certain car shops which also take care of maintenance. There is no support from official Toyota dealers...
    In regards to after-market parts, lifts, bumpers and so on you can let the same car shops import whatever you like but with a hefty markup.
    Smaller / lighter stuff I usually have shipped here but bulky and heavy parts come with high shipping costs unless you got a friend in the states who can arrange shipping...

    Hey that’s a real nice tundra. Sometimes I wish I purchased a double cab.

    Have fun driving!!
