    Hi Folks,

    My name is Ed and I just bought a 2021 Tundra Crewmax SR5 4x4 last week in Super White. I already christened the truck in the mountain snow of Big Bear, Ca and I could not be happier with the purchase. I am new here but not new to forums or trucks. I used to have a 2002 Ford Ranger FX4 4.0 with a manual tranny and transfer case. The auto tranny and electronic transfer case is taking some getting used to, not really sure what to do with my left foot and right hand :eek:

    The truck has the bench seat (which took me forever to find), bedliner, blackout package, protection package, locking tailgate and thats pretty much it. I'm looking forward to learning alot of stuff here and thought I would start with some fun stuff, like what I plan to upgrade in the truck, in no particular order....

    1. Driver side grab handle
    2. TRD sways and brake pads
    3. 275 BFG KO2's
    4. Skid plates (RCI?)
    5. The aluminum rear underseat storage box with the 3 compartments
    6. Possibly the TRD cold air box but this seems like more of a cosmetic thing....
    7. Brighter fogs and headlights of some sort
    8. TRD grille

    I did notice one strange thing with the truck, when I take off from a stop, it feel like the gas in the tank moves and i can feel a slight bump, does anyone get this? It is the smaller gas tank.

    I didn't hit up any trails only because it was crazy packed for the holiday. They are probably really nice right now, I saw a huge caravan of jeep guys in Holcomb valley.
