    Howdy y'all,

    Long story short, I am now the proud owner of a 2011 5.7L 2WD Tundra with 64k miles, only mods (and only one that will be done) is an aftermarket trailer break, some Husky liners and some factory tint. This is alongside my currently non-moving 2004 TRDOR Tacoma also with 64k miles, locked front and rear, Foxs on all corners. Now that I have a reliable daily that has towing capacity, i'll be assembling parts to SAS the Taco. The truck will also be used for family RV trips, which i'm stoked about.

    If any of y'all are from Texas, i'm a volunteer at Hidden Falls and am more than happy to trail guide!

    Also, here's the Tacoma build:

    Looking forward to reading up on a new truck. Although I won't be modding it, in a few years when finances allow i'd like to open the idea of a LT setup :thumbsup:

    Thanks y'all!

    Driving this truck coming from the Taco I feel like i'm in a Aston Martin and it's awesome. Used to work at a Toyota dealer and would putt around in 'em all the time but I used half a tank of gas yesterday running around trying to fix the Taco and it was the easiest driving of all time... until there were barriers on both sides. Then I started to sweat a tad :bananadead:

    Welcome to the party brothaman, you might be in luck, there are a few people with the things you are wanting, for sale. We have a for sale forum where you can get some good prices on stuff. Again, welcome and good luck on no mods... im taking bets that it doesn't last 2 months without LED interior lights or something plastidipped lol.

    It already has all the stuff I've been wanting, lol! Will do some small stuff like interior led lights like you said, maybe some brighter white headlight bulbs. It has fog lights but they don't seem to work so I'll play with that a bit.

    The massive chrome grille isn't the best looking thing in the world, they look better color matched IMO, but I've got a Taco to SAS on a college budget :rofl:
