    I just found and read through this thread: https://www.tundras.com/threads/the-official-tundras-com-suggestion-thread.16/#post-52.

    Thank you, @Bob, for starting Tundras.com! The success of this site is due to the amazingly helpful members, but none of this would have come together without Bob starting the site in January 2014.

    It is obvious from the earliest posts that this site went through a lot of evolution to make it visually appealing, organized, and EXTREMELY helpful. ALL of the work to go through this evolution was done by Bob.

    If you search for just about anything Tundra related on Google or any of the major search engines, many (if not most) of the hits are Tundras.com posts. That pretty much makes Tundras.com THE go-to place for Tundra help, regardless of what model year you are looking for help on.

    A couple of the earliest contributors that are still around are @T-Rex266 and @csuviper so a LOT of thanks go out to y'all, too!

    Thank you!

    I couldn't agree more. Thanks to the OG crew who got this off the ground and morphed it into what it is today. Huge thank you to the mods who keep up the good work.

    Good job Bob! I’ve enjoyed participating and have learned a lot. I also have this forum to blame for my spending thousands of dollars…:rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Thanks. Uploading the software to a server is the quick and easy part. The interaction between the moderators and members is what makes or breaks a site. Lot of good folks on here

    I've been on here for about a year and a half or so, I never really knew how the site started. Didn't realize it was just a few people with an idea. Enjoy being on here daily and interacting with anyone that wants to try and get their trucks fixed or upgraded or anything in between.

    Thanks @Bob Have a good story on the beginnings of the site as in what really sprung the idea into action?

    Yes, Bob has certainly nailed it in many different ways here. Awesome job! Definitely a whole bunch of relatively decent ladies and gentlemen around here. Thanks to the entire crew for every single effort to help me drain my wallet! Y'all have a great holiday season!

    I met @T-Rex266 in front of Thornton PD back in 14. I bought a set of TRD pull off shocks from him that he had listed on Craigslist. He told me about Tundras.com and things have never been the same. Ha!

    I dunno man, I kinda always felt like I was the reason this place was awesome.
    Seems weird that I'm not thanked more.
