    2003 Tundra SR5 2WD V8 TRD Offroad
    DR Coil overs, Bilstein 5100s, K&N cold air intake, Magnaflow cat-back, 16" alloy wheels with 265/75R16 Yokohama Geolanders, Pioneer AVH-2330.
    Hey Tundra friends, finally picked up a Tundra to call my own. 2003 Tundra V8 2WD. Its an Access Cab SR5, but it has the leather interior with bucket seats, which is apparently pretty uncommon. Only 123k miles on everything with a brand new water pump, belts, and pensioners.
    The truck currently has DR coilovers on the front end and bilstein 5100s in the back. I was told these coilovers are identical to ICON coilovers, just with a different name stamped on the side. It also has some aftermarket alloy wheels (Unknown brand) with stock size Yokohama Geolanders. Engine has a K&N cold air intake and a Magnaflow cat-back system. Also have a SnugTop shell on the back. I used to have a 1997 Tacoma 5 lug street truck that was lowered and had the TRD supercharger. That little truck was badass but i needed something bigger and taller for offroading haha. Looking forward to updating with build progress and pictures but I definitley need some advice on suspension and lighting options. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
    ~Zach
