    no idea yet, lifted is all I know
    New member here. I just bought a 2012 Limited Tundra (5.7 4x4 crew max).

    I’ve already read numerous threads and have a ton of ideas.

    my first mod is going to be adding

    - Tyger side step rails
    - cheapish Maaco paint job to make the camper match the truck

    Then I am looking for the alpha Rex headlights when they get the jet black back in stock. Also looking into replacing the head unit and adding front camera. Then more lights haha.

    long list already. Glad to be here.

    Thank you!

    another task is to figure out what lift is on it. Dealer didn’t know anything. Looks like 2” block under the leaf springs.

    I’ve been searching for a new truck for awhile. Newborn coming so my old extended cab Sierra isn’t going to make it.

    I was looking at older diesels and Tundras. I opted Tundra. Great, routine service records on this one. 135k miles. Judging by stickers, a hockey playing fireman was the last owner. I play hockey too so that made me feel like it was right haha
