    Hey how's it going guys? My name's James and I've been a lurker for a while.....and I have to say bastards. You all have made me spend so much money in the last few weeks with this new truck.

    My previous rides were alot of nissan Z/infiniti G cars. Also a 2015 blue ribbon metallic trd off-road sr5 base.20171115_122139.jpg IMG_20170503_182531_400.jpg

    I've had a few other 350zs but can't find pictures at the time. I just purchased a 2018 tundra limited in smoked mesquite a couple weeks ago. I'll include a pic of the day I picked it up and how it sits today.
    I'm going more for a OEM+ look. I'll try to think of everything I did in the last few weeks:
    BBS 20x9 wheels (forgot which model they came on, always liked them)
    New geolander 275/60/20s
    AJT chrome interior delete
    Trd exhaust tip and shifter
    Diode dynamics ss3 sport fogs amber
    Stillen trupower intake
    KSP 2" leveling kit
    Tailgate inserts in carbon for tundra logo
    And a extang tonneau
    20% tint to match the rear and eyebrow
    I'm probably forgetting a few things.

    It's a decent list and I'm happy so far with just the factory upgrades from my SR5. I don't do offroading I'm usually using my truck as a motorcycle hauler and that's about it. Thanks for checking it out....open to more mod ideas also. New to modding trucks, hoping for a dirty deeds stimulus sale like another thread on here states may or may not be happening

    Nice, alot of NY around here. This forum seems to be way more laid back than the Z forums.

    Added a few more pics of past Z's for anyone interested. Now you can see why I searched for a smoked mesquite. I missed the color from my 2006 350z.

    Wait, there's a dry side? This has to be the most friendly forum I've ever been on. Thanks for the warm welcome and hope to contribute in the very near future.

    Welcome from your eastern neighbor - Central VT checking in here.

    That is one gorgeous colored truck. If I'd know that existed, I might just have hunted for one in that color! I've got a Midnight Black 2018.
    Heh. I'll wave once the weather warms up a bit - I go right past there on my occasional forays to Syracuse for a visit to the Dino BBQ. Best BBQ I've ever had. (the one in Troy isn't nearly as good.) You mentioned you ride; I have a Vulcan 900 Classic LT and a Gold Wing trike.

    Everything east of the cascades would be considered dry by our standards. :thumbsup:

    Dino is so good. Try limp lizard next time you're out here....you won't regret it. Yeah I'm just a stone throw away from turning stone casino. Thank you so much for the kind words....I absolutely love this color. For the longest time I thought only the 1794 edition got it and I was bummed butttt....here I am. Also, yeah I'm a kawi guy. I currently ride a 2020 10R and 2 09' zx6r's one being a monster edition.
