    Hello all,

    I'm from Montreal Canada and french speaking (Don't shoot me for this) so from time to time I might do spelling mistake so if you dont get what I'm trying to say just reply and I'll try to explain it differently....!
    Not New to trucks, I had a Cherokee Diesel 3.0L 2008, then a Wrangler Sahara 2012 and a Rubicon 2016, then switch to a Tacoma Double cab TRD, but then we needed more towing capacity so we bought a Tundra 2017 Platinum Crewcab. The quality built and reliability is the reason why I went with the Tundra because most review on U-Tube or the Internet are not favorable! most reporters tell the Tundra is outdated and it also have a reputation of being a gas guzzler!... I went with the Tundra anyway because I feel it's a superior Truck in the area I care the most about...quality built, reliability, towing capaccity, resale value and most of all built in Texas! the competition being far behind in those area with their truck made in Mexico.

    It is presently in stock format but I intend to build it up just so it stand apart, it's black on black and already pretty hot to me!
    I'm happy to join the club and I feel some of you will give me tricks on how to build it right!

    Cheers,

    El Schnook

    Funny how Google translate! Benoit montre nous des photos de ta camionette....Google take the translation with the French from France and we surely don't speak the same!...actually we can't stand french people here...we speak french but we do not tolerate French people from France! lol the language is like American to British...Camionette for us Quebecers don't really apply, we call these Pickup just like American!...we just add Ostie d'pickup to make it more sound!...we like to add ostie de colis to pretty much every words!

    Thank you Rowdy...yes I think I did, despite the ''Real Truck Connaisseur'' are saying it's not a truck!....then they spend a couple of dollars on transmission, transfer case and then I prefer not driving a ''real'' truck lol
    This truck is actually amazing we've pulled a 6000 lbs trailer from Ontario and cruising at limit speed like nothing! I would
