Buy Once, Cry Once
The Goal:
This will be a long term build focused on getting my family and I outdoors. The main deciding factor for going with a 1st gen Tundra was the 4.7's proven track record (and the insane prices of used Tacoma's). My overall goal is to keep a low key stealth look and to maintain factory reliability. All while making it capable enough for our needs.
Current State:
Front Suspension:
My first, and previous, vehicle was a 2wd Ford Ranger. I had a lot of fun in this truck and took it places it had no business going. I learned a lot in the 5 years I owned this truck, the main thing? Buy once, cry once.
And this is who prompted the upgrade in the first place.
It's impossible to fit a carseat in a Ranger, trust me, I tried.
The Tundra:
Finally the Tundra. It's a 2005 Phantom Grey Pearl 4x4 Access Cab. It has the SR5 package with optional LSD out back. Purchased on April 7th, 2014 with 150,340 miles:
