    Helloo all you crazy Tundra Guys,

    THE OG SHADOWFAX IS BACK!

    Been a while since I posted but recently traded in the 2014 Platinum 4x4 with 190,000 for a 2019 1794 4x4 with 64,000. I was truly sad to see Shadowfax III go but figured it was time. I realized how well I take care of my trucks when SFIII looked newer than the newer SFIV. lol I didnt post alot of the upgrades but this is how she looked before I traded it in.

    (Stripped Down for trade in)

    Wanna know the reason why trucks are better than Girlfriends?? Because they don't flip shit when you ask them to wear things you bought for your EX!!! Hahahaha Made a deal with the dealer to transfer over all my aftermarket parts to the new truck so alot less money will be spent getting things the way I like them.

    RIP SFIII you will be missed.

    Now onto SFIV!!!!

    First day home
    What can I say, I have a type. lol

    Since then I've been quite busy.
    Changes I've made so far: (In Order)
    Debadged 1794
    Removed Black vinyl from posts in btwn windows
    Replaced all interior and exterior yellowish lights with LEDs from SFIII.
    New Tundra Tailgate letter inserts
    Chrome Tailgate handle cover
    Put on steps
    Put the ARE bedcover back on, which is a huge pain in the ass to adjust btw....
    TRD 4x4 Off road decals on bed
    Didnt have a bedliner which is weird so I put in a bedrug with tailgate cover, with the ARE Bed Cover I figured I can get away with skipping the spray in. For $200 I actually really like it so far.

    Finally fit that Tundras.com sticker on!!!! haha

    Next:
    1. Dual Exhaust, Exhaust setup exactly like SFIII. I had the Flowmaster Moderate Aggressive on the other truck.

    DOES ANYONE RECOMMEND A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MUFFLER??? Ones that dont sound like straight pipes are preferable. lol

    2. Brake calipers. Was thinking about ordering these off Amazon, does anyone have any experience with them?

    3. A pinstripe of some sort.
    4. Have center section of bumper painted white and maybe paint tow hooks red, debating.
    5. Light Bars and front lighting, havent made up my mind yet.

    It occured to me recently that this will be my 5th Tundra and it will also be the one I turn 1,000,000 miles on in a Tundra. All of them not having to spend One Dollar in crazy repairs that shouldnt happen. Hoping they come back out with the V8 by the time I need a new one or I might be considering alternatives. lol

    Anyway, great to be back on the Forum!!!!!!
