Thumbs up I did it. 08 tundra DC 5.7 off road :-)

Hey guys, I finally did it. I know some of you knew I was looking to upgrade. I had a few reasons to. One was us getting a camper and the other is us wanting a child soon. My MPG is only 17 max on the hwy now with the lifted taco anyways. Plus the tundras smooth ride is very nice!

I could not pass up a new Tundra for 16$ more a month I had to shop around to get my payments close to the same I pay now but It can be done, But dont worry I will still remain a moderator to help out around here and bust your balls

Im excited I take delivery Monday. Its a silver TRD with grey interior. Here is what it looks like. Minus the leather and steering wheel controls

Yes I will take off the TRD exhaust and seat cover Kenwood radio and the Rubber all weather mats. I will post them up for sale here first. I dont think the dealer will notice. they spent a whole 2 minnutes looking at it.

Very nice truck. I wouldnt lift it since its kinda big to wheel. Plus with gas being 4 bucks + this summer I would be practicing at getting the best mileage with that badass 5.7!
