    Hi All,

    I'm a new member from Truckee, CA - originally from Maine. I purchased a 2005 Tundra SR5 4WD DBL Cab a couple of years ago and so far it's been great.

    Some Funky Things:

    - It has a lot of rust on the undercarriage of the frame (purchased in Nebraska - Originally from Illinois) but being from Maine it didn't concern me too much. However, I learned later on that some Tundra years 2000-2003 have frame recall for rusting. I don't understand why they offered Sequoias 2004-2006 but left out Tundras 2004-2006. I put in my VIN# to see if my Truck qualifies and returns a message "No new recalls to perform" - Any advice?

    - Vacuum sound when I first start the truck. Have any of you experienced this?

    Additions:

    - Installed a Sony Stereo with tailgate handle backup camera + new OEM speakers.

    - Got an OME 2.5" Complete Lift Kit with Firestone Airbags/Compressor and installing soon. Can I fit 285's on my 16" rims? Any advice on additional parts for this lift kit that I may need? I'm getting it ready to carry a Travel Lite 770R Truck Camper.

    I look forward to connecting with other Tundra owners to learn more about my Truck and getting advice.

    Justin

    Welcome from Portland. Tahoe is beautiful no matter what season. I was stationed at MWTC Pickle Meadows for a few years, and used to ski Heavenly often. Tip: you better be expert if you try expert hill. I was battered by the time I got to the bottom.:rolleyes:

    Love truckee. Crazy amount of people nowadays with no shoulder season anymore. But still a ton of places to ski and ride outside of the usual stuff. I’d still love to move there.... I shoulda bought 15 years ago $$$
