    Hello fellow tundra owners! 6 months ago I took over my wife's 2017 SR5 quicksand Tundra as my daily driver. I was into fast cars and we decided it was time for her to have something fun.

    We bought our tundra new off the lot and put 154000 miles on it, a chunk of it hauling a boat.

    So im currently in the updating and upgrading mode. So far I did the hellwig swaybar, timbren rear bumpstop to help with towing, bunch of stuff from AJT design, bumpershellz front and rear to ditch the chrome, plenty of maintenance items, and im now shopping for headlights to ditch the old halogen setup. Its awful. Looking forward to learning lots from the community!

    Your posts are what got me to sign on here when i was searching headlight stuff! Ill be messaging him tonight so i can get on it. My local dealer has the pair online for about 690 after discount. Way cheaper than the Morimoto's i was looking at.

    And yes, the bumpershellz are an incredible little touch to make the truck look so much better. Impressive product!

    Did you buy the headlights yet? There is a Toyota parts sale starting Friday at 40% off if I recall. Post #111442 https://www.tundras.com/threads/wha...5-gen-tundra-today.713/page-3715#post-4179112

    I forgot to add, ill be getting a dirty deeds system soon as well once i decide how loud i want it. We've got fast n loud for the other cars so i dont need to be screaming everywhere. We haul a 25' boat around so i definitely dont want to drone ourselves to death with something too hot sounding!

    When you're ready, call Keith and discuss your wants and needs.
    He's great to work with.
    The 10" with his resonator is the sweet spot IMHO.
    But since you tow, he may recommend a 12" or maybe something custom.

    Side bar, I take it the 8” without resonator is tolerable drone wise? Guy has that same setup for sale locally. Stainless steel variant, supposedly 3 months of use before selling his truck.
