    I am totally addicted to Tundra Life now!
    Hello to all! I'm the proud new owner of a Silver 2012 Tundra SR5 IForce 5.7 Double Cab 2WD. Honestly the 2WD part has me deflated. I didnt realize there were no Detroit lockers made for this year 2WD. I've spent 2 full days getting every scratch out and fixing everything that wasnt working on the truck. Its in stunning condition now other than the roof from 2 branches falling on it with the previous owner.

    My first plans are as follows:
    Lift Kit (What size?) Best choice?
    What is needed? Shocks as well? I will be pulling my big boats around FYI.
    35" Nitto Trail Grapplers
    18X9 Chrome Wheels
    Bully Dog Tuner
    Exhaust at some point
    Long tube headers for sure
    Rear sway bar kit
    Bull Bar
    And much more.
    Any help is grately appreciated. Anything that made your Tundra amazing? Made MPG go up?
    This site rocks! Love all the threads Ive been reading.
    Thanks guys!
    CJ
