Hello everyone, I would start my first thread on here to introduce myself.
I justed picked up a new Crewmax this week trading up from a nice Tacoma dbl cab. Now I have a truck my kids can grow up in. My Tundra is just a Tundra grade which is below the SR5 but it has just about everything I want on it. The only thing I want to change now is the stereo as it has no base. I'm also looking into the ARB/OME suspension.
I've enjoyed this type of thread on other forums so I thought I would introduce it here. Hopefully this will be an ongoing display of how our trucks are changing on a week to week basis. I really like this truck so let the mods begin!

I don't plan on modifying my truck other than adding some chrome tube steps later, and I'm waiting on my camper shell. I'm going to also get some better type traction tires. The stock tires are useless in snow and ice.
OOPS! Forgot to write what I did this week besides getting the truck. I mounted my Scan Gauge II on the steering column just below the speedometer.
Welcome and congrats on your new crewmax. I have an 07 Crewmax Limited Nautical Blue. AVS bug shield, Weather Tech Mats with Tundra written on the front two, Trail FX SS Nerf Bars, Bully SS Step Bar, Hellwig Anti-sway Bar, AFE cold air intake, Borla XRS complete duals along with SS rolled/angeled tips, 60 inch LED Brake/Reverse bar, Herculiner, Extang Black Max Tonneau cover, XM satellite, Samsung MP3, Euro***igns HID lights, won on ebay and awaiting for delivery TRD backup camera, and LED Headlights by Cosmos. What I did this week I put in 4 weather tech mats for my wife's Prius which has Prius on them. Okay it's not a Tundra but close. I did wash and claybar the truck.
...I decided to partially debadge. I took off the side "Tundra" badges and the small "Toyota" badge on the tailgate just above the tailgate "Tundra" badge. Also the pinch weld under the cab is rediculously big so I painted it flat black to hide it. This cleaned up the lines and turned out nice, IMO.
Before (the night I bought it):
Notice the pinch weld
goneballistic Also, got my 1rst of 3 free oil changes at the dealer today...and got my OEM alarm initialized.* 1rst oil change on one of my vehicles that I didn't do myself.* Ever.
I hear ya, it's hard to let someone else do something you have always done.* I enjoy doing oil changes but I will let the dealer do the first three also and maybe all of them on this truck.*
