    I've had an account for a few years but I was in a 2010 tundra so I wasn't active. Last week I traded in the 5.7 for a 3.5! Hailing from up North, I plan on not using the search function and starting new threads about potentially fitting 33's without a lift??, you're welcome.

    I'm one of those new age Canadians - they call us "Millennials", we're much less apologetic and far more entitled.

    I switched out the Tundra because it was overkill, I thought I would be towing more and ended up barely towing at all. The Tacoma is a better fit for my current lifestyle.

    Lots of decals for extra horsepower?

    But seriously - OV tune, sliders, wheels/tires, front coils, aal. Not sure of brand, I'll be searching around for deals and used parts.

    I had a good run with the tundra, about 7 years. Apart from getting 13mpg, it was a great truck and only really let me down one time. But it was time to move on and now I get to waste a whole bunch of money on my new truck!
