    Good morning all. I am not a Tundra owner (yet) but I will explain how I got here - my F150 was recently rear ended. I am perfectly ok but my truck is not. We are still waiting to find out if they are going to total it or not. What makes matter worse/harder is that my wife and I are selling our house and getting ready to buy a new one. I do not want to have to buy a new car right before we buy a new house so I MAY end up buying my father in law's 2008 (I think) Tundra. He has babied this thing - something around 40,000 miles. So for now, I am stalking all of y'alls builds to try and learn what to be looking for and ideas on how I would make that Tundra "mine". Thanks and God bless!

    Welcome from OR. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal getting a babied family-owned truck with low miles! You'll definitely find tons of ideas here. Congrats on the new house as well!

    Thank you. I have always been a Ford owner (2 Rangers, 2 Mustangs, 1 Edge, 1 F150, 1 F100) so this will be a big change for me. Looking forward to the possibility.
