My 08 Tundra

Figured Id post a few pic's and some the first few things Id like to upgrade, so any suggestions would be great.
thanks

first is a dif. set wheeles and tires then some new running boards
leveling kit, maybe a little bit of lift. only 2 wheel dr but would make it sharp.

it has a spray in liner and also I have a nice bed cover for it but have it off so I can get the feeders out for deer season lol.

 

Nice! Go wild with it! The 2008 model has 4 different modes for its traction and stability control by the way...

 

really, I have to check in to those. plan doing some when money allows lol

 

Did you just buy this or have you had it a while

 

just got it a little less then a month ago

 

Nice, well you picked a great truck. Glad you're here.

 

my uncle had owned it for 5 or 6 years and after my aunt passsed he sold there camper and then sold the truck to me, i know how the truck was takin care of and it was used 3 times a year to pull a 28' camper. He made me a hell of a deal. Got it 4000. less then the loan val. could not turn it down lol

 

Thanks glade to be here. Not planned on doing a lot too it untill I found this site lol. I had always liked it and had a 2001 tundra that my brother sold me so when he offerd this one to me it was a no brainer lol

 

That's the best kind of deal! Not the passing part... But knowing how it was cared for and not losing all the money you would buying new

 

There are a ton of inexpensive mods you can do.

 

Welcome from CO. Sharp looking Tundra. You will get a lot of ideas here. Glad you signed up with us. Budget???

 

im going be checking into doing some of them, Id like to get the front window a little darker.
the main cost is going be getting some wheels and tires and it wont be long before I have to replace them

 

low right now lol, I have a 14 year old that is getting into showing and im about to put 2500+ out on a heifer.

 

I know exactly what you are talking about. I will be 60 this December. I was raised on a small 72 acre ranch/farm near Eugene , Oregon (actually Drain) I was FFA/4H. Showed Hereford bulls, and Romney Sheep at Douglas County Fair in Roseburg, Oregon years ago. What is your 14 yr old showing? I was a judge at the County fair for 2 years.

 

She's showing a Brahma heifer. we live out on 45 ac and have horses but the cattle prices have been so high that I have not gotten any yet, but since she joined FFA I dont mind spending the money for one.

 

thats the calf she is getting, we get her next month and the girl that has her showed the momma and has started working her already also.

 

FFA is the bomb. More than just raising a steer, pig, sheep, etc. There is also public speaking, ie: FFA creed contest up to state level. Not to mention the local high school. I was Secretary/treasurer, VP and eventually President of our high school chapter. Still have my FFA jacket in my closet. 4H is not bad either. I had 4 quarter horses in 4H. My freshman year. Only guy. Rest were girls. Caught a lot of flack from my buds. They were stupid. (gee, hanging out and riding horses with girls?) You might want to consider Santa Gertrudis : Brahma mixed with Short horn (or polled) Hereford mix. Long loins, good breeders. Big money maker whether you have one or twenty. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Gertrudis_cattle

Keep me posted how your daughter is doing with that Brahma heifer and FFA endeavors. I will PM you with my email/ph#. I wish her the best of luck. It's good that she has parents that give her the support. Maybe forward some previous Show pics. My Senior year I actually Judged FFA at the Douglas County Fair (Roseburg, OR) in 1974. (Yea, I'm an old fart now, heh heh)

 

Welcome and congrats from Western PA. Good looking truck. Window tint is the first mod I had done. It really changes the look of your truck.
