Build Thread Start
Current State:
I’ve owned a handful of Land Cruisers, GXs, 4Runners, and a few European vehicles over the years but never a truck and specifically never a Tundra.
When I started looking for one, I knew I wanted an early 2nd-gen Tundra and was only interested in the CrewMax variant. Coming from SUVs, I valued the extra cab space more than bed length. My thinking was if I’ve made it this long without a truck bed, I’ll be fine with the shorter one. Plus, the CrewMax makes life a lot easier with rear-facing car seats.
After selling my 2011 BMW M3, I officially started the hunt.
I ended up finding this:
2010 Toyota Tundra
220k miles
Crappy lift
Ugly headlights
(Definitely needed some love)
Within 5 minutes of getting home, headlights were swapped for a clear set to get rid of the smoked headlights.
Small shakedown up a dirt road close to my house.
