    Been driving a 1999 Rav4 for quite some time. Always told myself I would become a fire fighter and buy a Toyota tundra. Finally finished 7 month academy for Nashville Fire and graduate this week. The wife surprised me with a 2012 tundra SR5 crewmax. I plasti dipped the rear/front chrome bumpers and ordered new Ultra 203 hunter wheels coming this week. Glad to be here!

    Welcome from Las Vegas! Congrats on graduating and your new truck. Nice job on the PlastiDip. I would like to see more pics when you get your wheels on there too.
