Yep, all that desert in Florida, lots of pre-running there!

I agree, those 17s are some of the nicest stock wheels IMO. I wish I had a sunroof, need to look into getting one installed.

Very familiar with lowered vehicles as I have owned more than one so my comment about "Lifted 2wd's" was directed at other owners who apparently don't get the obvious differences in 2wd and 4wd trucks and somehow think lifting a 2wd will cause anything but laughter from those who do.
And yes I lived in Ca for awhile ....... nuff said

eh.... ok well I was complimenting you... lowering isn't my thing but whatever, my comment wasn't meant to bash.... I come from the "to each their own" side of the fence.

Sorry, kind of a sore spot, used to have to either pull those guys out or let em winch off our 4wd trucks when we were out riding paddle tired dirt bikes(also stupid) back in the mid 80's cause they got stuck a lot . The desert is no place for any machine unless you got a lot of money for parts. Sand will eat anything!

Looks great, esp. with the Stepside bed version Tundra. Now consider installing a Hellwig rear anti-sway bar and some performance truck tires/wheels, and with the lowered center of gravity, your truck will handle like it is on rails! Doesn't TundraSoul (site owner) have a lowered '07 Tundra?

soooo...i guess you're directing that towards me since i fall into that category of a lifted 2wd. I didn't know us 2wd owners had rules to follow. I had the impression, it's my truck...i'll do whatever i want with it??

to the OP, nice truck!
