    yep..
    I've been lurking for a while and just made an account. Great forum. . I was recently in the market for a new truck to replace my old Mazda pick-up, when i found a great deal on an 09 Access Cab with 74k miles in great condition. Let me just say that I'm in love with this truck. It feels SOLID.

    The truck is a base model, so I've spent the past few months doing some upgrades:

    keyless entry (bought a used wireless door receiver module off eBay- plugged into the existing harness and that was it)

    Vent visors

    Tow hitch

    Fog lights

    NMO hood antenna mount and set up my ham radio.

    Tinted the windows with a precut kit. My truck didn't have any tint even on the little back windows or rear window. They're all at 35% now.

    Went through the whole chassis and removed loose rust and coated everything with 3 coats of Tectyl. (Oil that dries to thick waxy coating)

    New speakers/tweeters and a 10" under seat subwoofer.

    Things I have planned:

    Bilstein 5100s at 0.85 with a half inch spacer to provide ~1.5 lift

    Wheelers AAL. I have the TSB springs but they're flat and with a few hundred pounds I'm nose high..

    New tires: 235/85r16 all terrains.

    Thanks for reading!
    Happy to be a part of the community!
