    Ive been lurking around here on and off for over a year I think. Went from wanting a 4Runner or GX470 to getting my dad's old 1997 GMC Sierra. Decided I like having a proper truck so I started thinking about what I would buy as the Sierra was not a long term thing. "Decided" on a Tundra since I have had good luck with Toyotas. Currently own a Lexus LS430 and my wife has a 2019 Rav4. I've had a 2008 Scion XB that my brother still owns and drives. My wifes previous car that I kept going was a 2006 Corolla. We sold it with 198k on it to a family friend who still drives it. My second vehicle ever was a 1991 Toyota x-cab wit the 22re in it. Then I got enticed by the eco boost Fords and even got close to buying one, drove a 2.7 crew cab and the thing moved pretty good. But it felt cheap and I had flashbacks to the fusion and Mustang I owned and how cheap they were, build wise. The Fusion was pretty solid actually being a Mazda underneath, but the ford body and interior sucked. So circle back around to Tundras. I love the 4.3 V8 in my Lexus and after driving a few trucks, I knew I needed the 5.7 in my life. Looked at newer and even new trucks but I figured I'd buy an older truck for cash and see if I really like them. I was also a bit torn between a crew max and double cab. Ended up picking up a 2011 Tundra with the sport appearance package two weeks ago and I love it. Its a double cab and it has plenty of room and I get the bigger bed which is far more handy. So I'm already planing getting a newer double cab in a year or two depending on how things go with this truck, but its been great so far. I hate black vehicles but this truck was a decent price and inventory has been drying up fast around here lately so I jumped on it. Its a double cab, black interior, 5.7, 2wd, with the sport appearance package so it has front and rear resin bumpers, fogs, 20 inch wheels and no tow package. One of the previous owners did add a hitch though. It also has a roll n lock bed cover and a factory bed liner. The dealer had also put new tires on it. I attached a pic I took when I drove it at the dealer.

    Name is Mike btw, from Houston, TX

    I think I want to put some Bilsteins on it to level it a bit, get the front bumper painted, put a normal rear bumper on it (black), get new step bars and add some sort of backup camera. I've already ditched the bug guard and polished up and adjusted the headlights. Need to polish the fogs as well. I ordered a cheap bluetooth to aux adapter to use for now and a TRD shift knob as I hate the huge, bulky stock shift knob.
