    Actually, you make a good point Jimmy

    I'll have to get used to the attention this truck will bring. I've had nice rides before and I'm not comfortable with it...like folks think you're loaded or somethin'. I never see myself in a Cadillac or Benz.

    Worse was when I had a Corvette...people at the gas station for example would give "the look" or say something about money...

    and I'd say "sure dude, you think I'm rich 'cause I'm driving a Vette...your driving a Suburban that cost 10-20 grand more" :laugh:
    Thanks Judy...how's life in a Tundra?

    And not just any skewp...a 2012 skewp...unique and like no other shewp...

    It's sure to gain me many horsepowers and increased miles per gallons...

    And, as an old guy...it may turn the heads of a few pretty fair maidens...an added benefit, worth the cost of the upgrade alone. :D

    I got the standard 17" Sport rims. 5 spoke, alloy, polished but not chromed...not too blingy

    the tires also seem to be pretty good. Bridgestones...P265/65R17's. they are pretty fat and give the truck a nice stance.

    the truck definitely sits higher than my 2010 SR5 with the 16" steelies and the 245 duncraps. I can feel it when I climb in...I wouldn't want it any higher.
