    2011 RCLB 4x4
    Intake, Exhaust, Toytec 3"/2", 32's on 17's.
    I just picked up a 2011 Regular cab 4x4.

    Before this I had a 2002 Tundra AC 4.7 2WD with a full exhaust and a CAI. (114k miles, was tired of the fuel consumption, and the fact that it was nickel and diming me, so it was traded in this September)

    Before the Tundra I had a 2008 4Runner Sport 4.0 4WD with Thorley long tubes, CAI, ECU and diff breathers (212k miles, totalled by some kid in a 2500 this past spring)

    Before that... Acura RSX Type-S, Ranger 4x4, Golf GTI 337, turbo'd first-gen Scion xB, AE86, Jeep WJ, FC RX7 and a 408 swapped 91 Camaro... Plus a few other sbxes between those.

    Anyways, besides being a 28 year old car guy with a really understanding wife - I'm an underemployed IT nerd, a helluva cook, grumpy cat person and a two channel hifi nut.

    As for the truck: it had 54k on it when I got it on 9/14 and I just rolled 60k this morning coming home from work (10/22)

    So far as modifications go: 17x9 +12 Level 8 Punch wheels, 265/65/17 Nitto Crosstek tires (cherrypicked from the Tundra), TPMS bypass, cheapie Kenwood single DIN HU, cheapie Kenwood 6.5" speakers, 3.5" PowerBass full ranges mounted where the factory squawkers were, K&N drop-in with that stupid charcoal thing ripped out, constant hot factory fog lights (previous owner had them wired like an idiot - I added a fuse, and replaced all the house wire that was taped together with a full loomed harness and weatherpaks), WeatherTech floor liners, WeatherTech vent visors, a Curt hitch and trailer harness that I found on CL, and an adorable little hook for the hitch that I found at harbor freight, and the previous owner put on a set of slotted/drilled rotors up front. Oh right. It was tinted at some point too. Probably 25% if I had to guess.

    So far the plans are: 3" lift, rock armor bumpers, N-fab nerf steps, LCE header, scooped hood, satoshi grill, black factory tails and a set of retrofit headlights. Then drive it till 400k miles at least. Anyways. Right. Pictures.

    So. Yeah. Hi. I'm Timmy.

    haha, yeah the color is what caught my eye. I'm used to seeing nothing but black, silver, red and white.
    How rare is it?

    Thanks for the welcome guys! :proposetoast:
