    Hey guys and gals, I’m Joe and I’m 33 years old. I have a 2005 access cab sr5. Have owned the truck for about a year now. I’ve used to be big in modifying cars and drifting at tracks and etc. but I’ve had to put everything on the back burner due to my dad’s health and had to help out at home. Recently I’ve have been able to save some money from doing mechanic work or wrapping parts while I go to college to become an art teacher. So I’ve been slowly modifying the look of everything and currently saving for suspension bits. I’ve purchased the truck from my brother after he bought a newer tundra. It was completely stock, messed up paint, and just looking neglected. Since I can’t not not modify a damn vehicle because that’s just who I am I started getting to work on it. Mind you, this is my first truck. So please guide me when needed.

    I started off with supreme suspension leveling kit for the front because the rear was sky high. Got some 18x9 0 offeset wheels with falken Wildpeak 275/70/18 tires, of coarse the bumper started rubbing and the day before I remember watching terra crew videos on YouTube and they had a badass tundra with a bumper cut, well I decided to give it a go. I got the windows tinted, and started wrapping the truck recently. I have a sticker business I run out of my house currently. Fabtech spare tire holder and did a 2 inch drop shackles in the rear for now. Recently purchased a k&n intake from SoCal super trucks and currently working with them to get my front and rear suspension soon. The front end as well as the engine parts have been replaced in a major maintenance overhaul 2 years ago so it runs and drives like a champ, but it’s just too bumpy. Looking to get a softer ride over bumps. There is a bunch of stuff I left out like my trans cooler I upgraded, as well as a oil catch can, or like my double cab wide fenders on a access cab or the double cab headlights and corner lights I had to make fit (it’s a long story lol) or the old custom headlights I put together with the led strip and blinker chasing led. or the washers on my EAG grill, but just ask! A major influence for me is stadium super trucks and that’s where the style I guess I want. Well I’m done talking your ear off. I’ll attach a few pics from my potato cam.
