    Hi,

    New member, but not new to my 2002 Tundra 4x4 Limited. I bought it new in October of 2001, and it's the best automobile I've ever owned. Now that it's getting long in the tooth, I started looking at new trucks. Wow are they expensive. So, looks like I'm gonna be doing some renovations. Gonna do a small lift/level plus new shocks, and new/bigger wheels & tires. Then repaint (something cool & not totally stock). Also needs some upholstery repair. Also going to look into some engine performance enhancement (at 138K miles). Looking forward to this forum giving me good advice.

    Low miles, nice! Unless you need a crew max, or more power for towing, then I'd hang on to it. There's no reason to get rid of it. Great trucks! If my 1st Gen was a double cab, I would have never sold it for my new one.

    Welcome and good luck! This place makes you spend some coin. Too many good ideas.

    Welcome!

    My '02 has 162k... it needs paint work, but the rest of it is fine.
    Mods: JBA short tube headers, stock exhaust. TRD/Kazuma LSD.
    Hellwig rear sway bar. TRD off road front coils, and Bilstein 4600s.

    Awesome trucks, well worth restoring.

    Welcome from Colorado. Nothing wrong with renovating. A plus! Plenty of 1st gen folks here to get ideas from and besides you would be so disappointed with all the BS nannies Toyota has deemed important for a new freakin truck....

    Don't forget to check in with your local vinyl wrap place to see what it would cost vs painting, there's some wild choices out there too like this:
