    Decided to finally introduce myself. I have been a member for almost 2 years since I purchased my truck. Was looking at Taco's, have had 2 before, but my wife convinced me to get the Tundra, and the price was too good to pass up, plus it had the 5.7. Since I work from home now the MPG wasn't too scary. It had some minor bumper damage, figured I would replace that anyway. Sledge hammer fixed it for now, had to bend the brackets back in place. Kinda wanted something that I don't care if it gets dinged up and scratched on the mountain back roads. Looking to build an overland rig.

    MODs so far:
    Backup Camera (Essential with kids)
    Dash Cam (it has proven useful in an accident already, other guy's insurance fixed my truck)
    1" rear shackles (trying to resolve bed bounce, still not quite gone, stupid concrete freeways)
    LED Fogs - Used the factory plastic to temp mount, however didn't hold up, replaced with After market
    LED Headlights
    Decked Drawers
    After Market Headlight Lenses, old ones were yellowed

    Future: (hopefully 2019)
    CB Shackles (In hand, just need warm weather to isntall)
    Suspension - Thinking ICON or BOSS - opinions welcome
    BFG KO2's, maybe KM3?
    Front Bumper - still debating the look I want

    Welcome from AR! I recently had the 2inch fox coilovers installed with 34 inch tires. The tires don't produce too much noise and the new coil/shocks helped the road bounce quite a bit, though not gone entirely. I'll be driving through the Ouachita trails this weekend for a first real test. Good luck with your mods!

    Demello is my favorite bumper out there for the 2nd gens. Also I vote Icon or the new Elka for suspension.

    Unfortunately no, I live in Utah. California is just too expensive with a family.

    The Demello is nice, I just wonder if my truck will still fit in my garage. The winch plate looks good too, maybe that could be a compromise. Or a new garage, one of those 4 car garages that's 2 cars deep on one end. :)

    For now....:D Who knows what the future holds... I am starting to like the VooDoo and Cavalry Blue, but they are too common now.
