    Hello everyone, long time site lurker that just joined up.

    I actually traded for my 2000 Tundra SR5 AC and fell in love with it. Has 218,850 on it and runs amazing. In the last 6 months I have replaced;

    timing belt, water pump, high amp alternator, radiator, spark plugs, 1 ignition coil, front big brake upgrade kit with drilled/slotted rotors (the Power Stop kit Z36?), new front brake lines, steering rack & pinion, new poly bushings for the rack, inner & outer TRE's, new solenoids in the tranny, tranny full service, and mobil 1 full synthetic. And just for fun, a sound system. New hands free calling sony headunit with all the extras, and (4) 6 3/4" kicker speakers. 2 in front door & 2 in rear. New headlight and turn signal housing & refurbished the fog lights housings. New bulbs for all as well. All LED's bulbs in the interior.

    *Yes I know, this thread is useless without photos. I will get some!

    I will be building a custom bed from scratch for it over the next couple months. Father in law owns a fab shop so I will be cheating and using his equipment and hit experience!

    Been upgrading things on my Tundra over the last year and now looking into modifying/upgrading. I follow the "what have you done to your tundra" thread pretty religiously and my next venture is a lift. Looking at possible Toytec boss, Eibach pro-truck kit, maybe OME nitrochargers, and SPC UCA's. I want something with lower maintenance. Living in NE Indiana means road salt and crappy weather. I'm worried that would eat uniballs, & possibly adjustable/rebuildable coilovers for that matter.

    If anyone who has input on the subject would comment on my other thread, I would really appreciate any and all advice.

    https://www.tundras.com/threads/1st-gen-lift-advice-wanting-quality-ride.42477/


    Thanks guys, I'm looking forward to being a part of this forum and many more years with my lil ol' 1st ten Tundy.

    Yes I have! I love wrenching on stuff. I am an insurance agent for my day job, so any chance I get to work on my truck I take it! Thanks for the welcome!

    Welcome from Ohio. I look forward to the pics!

    Used to live in NW Ohio so would venture through the farm lands into Fort Wayne from time to time. Not bad county to cruise through, but yeah salt and ice will beat a ride up. Snow drifting... Ugh

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

    Ya I live 15 minutes straight south of Fort Wayne. Little town called Decatur. Been here all my life and love it here, but the road salt has to be my biggest gripe!!!

    As promised, Photos. She an ugly ol' girl for now. Will be building a bed completely from scratch and front bumper. Will do the bed all in black bedliner. I'll be doing the truck in white bedliner. The KMC wheels will be a bronze kind of color. I have a lot of plans for her, but for now I'm making it mechanically perfect before I tackle how ugly she is! haha!
