    After a lot of research, I picked up a white (Ice Cap) 2021 SR5 4WD Double Cab, 3.5L V6 in perfect condition with ultra low miles. Looking to do the fun mods (like one of these every few months):
    • Switch out to bright white halogen lights
    • Bumper covers
    • Front bumper and winch
    • Back bumper
    • Roof rack
    • Seat covers
    • Turn signals
    • Headlights and brake lights
    • Interior nobs
    • Small lift
    • More aggressive tires, maybe move from 16's to 17's
    • Air intake
    • More aggressive exhaust for a small/fun rumble
    Very capable learner, but not a mechanic. Plan to go slow and do all that I can myself.

    Always thankful to get advice and wisdom from others.

    I'm 30 min North of Boston and 30 min from NH and Maine. Mostly a daily driver around New England (low miles each day) but looking to do light trail exploring up North.

    Would absolutely love to know of great mechanics and shops in my area.

    Please do say hi...
