    Hello All. New to the site and to Tundras. Always been a GM fan and last 2 trucks have been GMC's spanning 18 years. Bought a '13 4Runner and was impressed with build quality. Looked at the Tundras when getting an oil filter for the Runner at the dealership and that's all it took.

    I'm now the proud owner of a 2017 SR5 DC 5.7L (non-flex) 4x4 with the SR5 upgrade package and the TRD Offroad package in Magnetic Grey. I have added a Leer hard tonnaeu, Raptor series oval OEM nerf bars, WeatherTech window visors, console organizer with tray and have the drivers side assist handle parts on order. So I'm happy as a green fly in a cow pasture!

    The main work my truck does is tow my boat to the lake. Not a rock crawler but some off roading is not out of the question. Anyway, I love reading about the mods you guys do as well as the technical stuff. I know, without pics it didn't happen! Will do that when time and weather permits.

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Been following the forum for a while and agree it is the best Tundra forum going.

    My boat is a Chapparal 190SS 4.3L V6 Sport Boat. I am in East Tennessee with 7 lakes within 45 minutes of home. My Tundra came from your neck of the woods by the way. I did not want a flex fuel engine so I had to go outside this region to find it. There was only 1 available with the right options and color and it was in Maryland just outside Washington DC. Bought it and drove it home!

    Nice! Yes, non FF Tundras are easy to come by around here.
    Nice boat! Two years ago we bought our first boat, looking to get a bigger one now, something around 19' or 20'. We love the water!
    Enjoy the new truck!

    Got my Xtang 2.0 Tri-Fold Cover on the other night. So far its water tight. We have had a few days of wet, heavy snow and my truck bed was still dry underneath.
