    Hi all!

    I recently purchased my first Tundra. It is a 2008 Crewmax limited. I had to search high and low to fine one and ended up driving about 4 hours to pick this one up. It only has about 76K on it and looks brand new on the inside. I am the 2nd owner. I don't plan too many mods (I know, famous last words) but am planning for a leveling kit, tonneau cover, spray in liner (the bed was actually replaced for free by Toyota as a courtesy to the last owner), and some new shoes. A friend of mine if as a Field Technician Specialist and looked the truck over for me. Once I had his approval, I brought her home. My wife and I recently welcomed our first child together (my third son overall) on 4/2. We are so excited to have this vehicle to drive for years to come. I've been involved with several forums, my most recent being a Ford forum. My last truck was a F-350 Crew Cab. Nice truck, but a beast. Far too much for me now that I am no longer running my construction business. Anyway .. happy to be here.

    Welcome and congrats. You don't want to mod you truck, but you want to level it, get bed liner, etc. Sounds typical, haha. (Me? I didn't even want to level my truck. . .but . . .)

    Welcome! That's pretty low in miles (IMO) for a 2008. Good find!

    Well done. Nice low mileage Tundra. Welcome from CO. I'm at 65477 on my 07. You have years and years left on your 08. Have fun.
