    Hello all,
    Another newbie here. I have a first year Tundra high miler (192,000 miles). I’ve had it for a few years now and have been slowly bringing it back to it’s former glory. Runs great, is my weekend warrior companion and is much loved by my two young lads. I live in British Columbia, Canada, am an avid backpacker, motorcycle adventure tourer and am happy to report that the entire family is excited about getting into some backcountry Tundra camping (which I hope to nudge into Overlanding). So far i’ve mainly ensured all oils, maintenance are up to date..replaced the tired shocks with some adjustable Bilsteins and added some KO2 tires, nerf bars and am currently working up a custom rack.......(delaying this fab until I get the wife hooked on the idea of a rooftop tent). Off to BC’s beautiful backcountry in a few days. Looking forward to sharing advice, stories, etc......first some advice....taking your truck on atv tracks results in additional dents!429D0C51-FD8D-423A-91B9-C1C5EC9F3D33.jpgB55EF5F5-465C-43C8-ADD2-1DD3C21BD5B8.jpg

    By the way 1st genders, i sent the beast into a local trusted tranny shop recently to give the drive train the once over and the guy doing the work said I had nothing to worry about as he had the exact same truck with over 500,000 on it.
