My new Ride

Finally bit the bullet and bought a full size truck. Well a bigger truck. A 2005 Tundra double cab SR5 4X4, with 30950 miles on it. Here are some pics.





Not bad for under $21,000.00. Now of course gas prices are at an all time high. Hippee for me.

And those prices aren't going to stop. Congrats on the truck though. My mom recently got a '05 Tundra but 2wd,V6, 6spd and Xtra cab.

Thanks. Thankfully I still have the 89 truck, which gets about 18 MPG. And my wife has a Prius. So i guess in a way we are still sticking it to the Man!! Yeah right!

No, it's not you. The rear tires are a little bald. I'm looking for replacements. The Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revos only have 32,000 miles on them. I don't think I will be buying another set of them. Any suggestions?

Check out Ebay. I can usually find taillights for my truck for decent prices on their and its a pain to find t100 parts. As far as tires go, I couldn't be happier with mine. Mickey thompson baja ATZ radials. I think they are called baja atz plus now. They grip great wear excellent and do make hardly any noise. However, I also have to reccomend BFG all terrains. have had nothing but good luck with them on my dads trucks. i went with the mickey's because I got an unbeatable deal on them at a truck show and probably will stick with them for good.

Found one online @ autopartswarehouse.com for $105.44 shipped to the house. As far as tires, I'm leaning toward Pirelli Scorpian A/T's. I have my second set on the 89 truck. The 1st set I got about 50,000 miles out of them. Not the most agressive tread pattern, but for the mud and snow that I drive in when I'm up in the Panhandle they work well. I really like the Nitto Terra Grapplers but I can't seem to find them in my size. Anyone on here have anything to say about the Terra Grapplers?

My buddy uses the Nittos on his 04 2500 diesel. Loves them and even with a heavy 600hp truck he can get 30000 miles outta them.

Cool beans. I just moved to Huntsville 6 months ago, so I haven't found a good tire guy here yet. The one that I talked too said there aren't any Terra Grapplers in a 265/65 R17. But I'll keep looking for another month, then I'll have to get tires.

PS: love your avatar!
