USA Its in the driveway. My 08 DC 5.7L Tundra :-)

This is off topic so I will move this into the lounge area in a few....


Well it’s here in the driveway. I love the truck and don’t regret trading in my 06 access cab at all. I hope I don’t start regretting getting it though with all the extra room/power I have I don’t think I will have regrets.


There was a 21 year old guy on the lot waiting to have a look at my truck. He was drooling over it. I guess the salesman said my taco would be there for him too look at. It was kina awkward and the Owner of the dealership said he was sorry. I said no problem at all. It felt weird to see someone going over my truck and taking pictures of it ect...

Anyways here are the pics I don't want to boore you with my day






Love the cargo light



Courtsey lights



anyone remember this on the older SR5 toyota models?



Monster dash with MP3/WMA 6 disk Cd changer in dash














Here was my 06 baby. I hope who ever gets it will take care of it.

First of all: congrats lotust! Awesome truck! I love the interior of the Tundra compared to our Tacos! So much more upscale! So could you please stop posting interior pics?

Now as for regretting it? I doubt you ever will. This thing is way too cool! And now you'll have enough room for a few kids to come!

Oh yeah, off topic? Come on! You should have included an old pic of your '06 Taco to avoid that problem! As I don't visit the Tundra section very often, please let us know when you post the first pics of your lift!

good idea I added a pic of the old tacoma I dont think I will regret it at all. yeah I will not rub in how nice the new interior is in this tundra. Its like a caddy or something. Im very comfortable now.

Did you tell the kid* looking at your Taco about this place? That way you could keep up with how Hes treating your truck.

* = I find it odd that I refer to people under 25 years of age a kid when I myself am 17. Oh well.

Congrats on the new truck. I've loved the new Tundra's from the start. Hope you really enjoy it! Can't wait to get my own...

...and as far as the "kid" reference Da Hui, get used to it. 23 and still getting the "kid" every once in a while.

Good choice... As much as I love my Tacoma, I wouldn't be too upset if I had to have a Tundra :P

Looks great. When you do decided to give it a nice burnout (yeah I said I would never either), make sure to shut off all the traction nannys...its like unleashing hell!


But wait till you do the first oil change


Congrats, awesome truck!
