Default Since i get bored with cars so fast...

I bought a new truck.. 2007 Toyota Tundra, 4x4, TRD package, 3 inch leveling/lift kit, some aftermarket wheels im not that fond of... 5.7L, 6 speed auto. Pretty sweet truck.. this thing moves.

Already have a running list of "to-do" mods... TRD rear swaybar, tint front windows, delete all chrome, exhaust, intake, stereo, etc...

Can i still put a CL sticker on this thing? lol

Sweet. My buddy with an IS350 under serious construction got one with a 6" lift and got the BBK on it too. Nice trucks. You can chat with Glenn (RMMGS) cause he has one too.

Welcome to the Tundra Club RYAN !

I'm on tundra forums too.

Got the TRD BBK, but not installed yet.

Did all LED conversion inside and out. 6K HIDs, 6k LED fogs and replaced front grill and side mirrors with Platinum edition.

Started with a Pioneer NAVI unit and connected the factory camera to the Pioneer.

Working on installing 2 Image Dynamics 10"s in the back.

I found good deals on all the stuff I got. Let me know if you have any Q's.

Also let me know if you find a deal on a TRD rear sway bar.

These trucks haul AZZ and with the TRD Supercharger, they are FASTER than an ISF !

Glen! I want to do the LED conversion as well, send me an email with the bulb types and where you got them. Yours is a crewmax correct? Might be slightly different... What HID's did you get? I want to order those asap!

Id love to have the TRD BBK, but its just out of my price range. The best price ive found on the TRD rear sway is 259 shipped on ebay.

Id love to have 500+hp, but again, that supercharger is out of my price range. I got a smokin deal on the truck.. so some mods will be fit in no matter what

What forums you on, tundrasolutions and tundratalk?

Yup Yup

I trailered the GS to The Pursuit last year.


Guess I'll be organizing Caravans for those trailering to car shows in the future LOL.

My Tundra WILL BE at BOS, but parked out back .

I miss the utility of my truck, but you are guaranteed to get bored with that one too.

Ryan,
ya I have a Crew Max. I got my LEDs from v-LEDs but it can be difficult to know which bulb to pick with so many choices. I ended up changing out some to my personal preference. You need to determine the color temp, the dispersion and the wattage. Some I wanted brighter, some were too bright (if that is possible).

As for HIDs, any kit should work. Got mine from Lighting Techniks, PROUD SPONSOR of BOS 8.

You will need a plug adapter for the HID kit. It was VERY difficult for me to find, I probably drove to several stores and researched online for several hours, before finding this very RARE adaptor. Try to find a kit that comes with it, but I am skeptical if you can trust most of the LED sellers.

The one really kool LED is the front turn signal that is white when normally on and turns amber only when blinking. Again, this is a special bulb. You DO NOTwant to buy the wrong version.

Maybe we should have a CL truck owners mini meet. ;-)
