    Introduction from the Midwest, a couple weeks ago I purchased a certified 2019 MGM SR5 4x4 (TSS which I had never heard of until finding this one/ I know it’s just black badges, step bars, and a spray liner but I didn’t pay anything over SR5 price). I started viewing this Forum about a week prior to the purchase and I've been on here almost every day since.

    I added tint (to all the windows), Black Raised Tailgate letters, rough country tri fold hard tonneau cover, TRD rear sway bar, found the wheels that it was supposed to come with to replace the brand new steel wheels and cheap new tires that someone must have swapped on before trading the truck (anyone need a set of 18 inch steel wheels?) Then I put on a shorty antenna and a couple other small things.

    I plan to add under seat storage, on the fence about morimoto XB LED headlight bulbs vs Factory LED's (I do drive a lot on back roads/logging roads and used the light bar I had on the tacoma at least once a week), and probably bring the front up with the bilstein 5100's but that will have to wait because I found some etching in the paint and it’s going to the body shop tomorrow to see if it can be wet sanded and buffed out. Hopefully, I won’t have to repaint anything, fingers crossed...

    I have had MANY vehicles but I hope to keep the tundra for a long time. I just traded out of a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel that I owned for about a year and a half/7800 miles and was the worst vehicle experience I've ever had, it was in the shop 9 times and had 4 open recalls when I traded out of it, terrible customer experience, awful experience with mechanics, bad experience with top tier Mopar Max Care Warranty, bad Experience with customer care, Bad experience with several different dealerships. My vehicle before the Jeep was a 2010 Tacoma TRD off road access cab on 33’s that I absolutely loved but it was getting up there in miles and I needed a back seat.

    I do have a couple questions, but I will look for the proper section of the forum to post them.

    Everything I've read so far makes this seem like a great community and I’m thrilled to be back in a Toyota.
