750 has a check engine light...
(Which will be an easy $50 fix)
But in the meantime I decided I needed a truck and bought a 2017 limited tundra with trd package. I initially was looking for a trd pro but everyone wanted 5-15k over sticker. Figured I'd rather get $4k off of a limited and just do an aftermarket lift.
Needed something to fit 3 kids seats. Had it down to a f02 750li, f-150, or tundra.
Pick it up tomorrow but this is basically if.
I can't believe I just bought a truck...

Congrats on the truck. Sounds like you don't need a garage reno but rather a larger garage. If I calculate right you have 5 cars?

A 3 car garage was a hard requirement for us when house shopping, but I gave it up when we found a house on a private drive.
Will be on the list for this week, as well as body colored door handles, and mirrors (and eventually get rid of the chrome on the front bumper
Mostly impulse. My brother just picked up a new F-150 and that's what got me thinking truck in the first place. But similiar optioned F150 was about $10K more, and at that point, I just couldn't justify it. Plus, resale on the tundras is strong. But I really liked both.

My brother in law and his buddy run a construction business and they have 2 tundras that they use daily and they absolutely love them. One of them have has something like 240K miles and still purrs like a kitten and hauls like crazy.

750 isnt' a big deal. Thing has 120K miles on it, and is slowly hitting it's death bead. Suspension is shot....everything else is pretty stout. What's crazy is these things aren't worth shit. I think i'd get $2K max on a trade in, maybe $5K on a private sale. It's a 2008 that had a 92K sticker on it :lol:

Just upgraded the brakes to slotted/cross-drilled since I tow with this. Also did the level kit. If I didn't tow so much with it I would have done a lift and did think about the Bilsteins... but just decided to keep the geometry as close to stock as possible as to not affect towing... so did the level kit only...
I have some cosmetic stuff waiting in the garage for me to install (side step bars, bull bar, tonneau cover), but other than that... not much else planned.

Step bars i need, but the amount of options has turned me away from looking so far, lol.

which side steps? Which Tonneau? I think i'm gonna do the bakflip mx4, i like that you can close and open the tailgate without touching the cover. My brother did that on his F150 and i liked it a lot.

I actually got the side-steps off of eBay. I'll have to check my history but I think I bought them too long ago for it to show. They are this style though:

Congrats on the new truck! The depreciation on it will probably be a LOT better than the 7er.

Not really sure how the 7's have such a hit, fucking 3 series are worth more!

Shit, I bet an E38 7 from the late 90's would be worth more...

Congrats on the Tundra. Love my F150, would've been a toss-up between the Tundra & Silverado for the #2 spot.
As far as bedcovers, mine will eventually wear a Bak MX4.

I'm a huge fan of the Tundra. They ride incredibly well!

18's, i couldn't do 20's. Just doesn't look right to me, and going from a 7 series to this I want every extra bit of cushion

Nice wheels, I'm just not a fan of the (fake or not) rivets/bolts all over the outer rim. Something like those minus the bolts would be perfect.
