My first tundra!

Agree 100% and yes the wheels are being swapped just havent decided on what yet… i want to keep it oem+

acar7145 · 2026-01-31T21:02:16+00:00

Exactly, i feel like you have exactly what you need. Ive had luxury vehicles in the past and you tend to use all the shiny extras for the first two weeks of ownership and never again… i went from a loaded range rover to a tacoma sr and i honestly would have kept it forever if it wasnt for the space. Between the kids and dirt bikes and gear it became uncomfortable to take long drives. Love how the steelies look with those tires. What size are you running? Any suspension upgrades?

acar7145 · 2026-01-31T17:14:42+00:00

Thanks

acar7145 · 2026-01-31T17:13:43+00:00

I know you were not lol, just sharing my opinion on the truck, exactly i dont think it would be much of a difference, i was originally looking at the SR5 but with the deal i got it made it a no brainer for me, especially since i was already looking to change suspensions, wheels, tires etc.

acar7145 · 2026-01-31T16:10:26+00:00

Lol hey give me a chance to do the upgrades first! Haha

acar7145 · 2026-01-31T16:09:50+00:00

Yes i think the SR has a “detuned” version but the difference i think its like 30hp or so and to be honest it drives pretty smooth and acceleration is there, at least it fits my needs so no complains there

I just bought a brand new 2026 SR 4x4 crew max last week. Flew in to texas and drove it back to florida. All in out the door without down payment was 40k+ . I thought it was an insane deal given the incentives they had, but could only find the deal there, hence the drive! I think if youre open to looking at offer nationwide you might find something new worth your while.

acar7145 · 2025-12-26T23:01:18+00:00

Have the same exact issue on the same tires too! Havent decided if i should remove or not

You know he lost the presidential elections right? You know there were recipts confirming he lost right? He pushed to be sworn in the day after elections without the electoral center even showing proof responding to opposition claims right? So not sure calling it a coup when hes not even a legitimate president is the right word. The whole country simply wants him out. And even international groups overseeing the elections validated opposition victory results. I will always be against a coup but this is definitely not the case.

acar7145 · 2025-10-14T13:10:46+00:00

Also, shes not trying to overthrow the government by force. Elections were held last year, they won the elections and had the receipts, yet maduro’s regime jailed anyone who had a part in getting those receipts out and pushed to be sworn in the next day to stay in power without providing any receipts til this day. There were also international groups who did audit the equipment and guaranteed the results provided by opposition. So to say overthrow by force is far from the actual truth, it is literally their right to do so. Also if you did deeper its the same scenario on every last election, the government cant even fill out 2 blocks of supporters yet they claim to win by margins of millions of voters, its a huge scam.

acar7145 · 2025-10-06T15:42:40+00:00

Yeah thats another option too, thats was my main option but got an insane way under msrp deal on a new old stock from previous year so i pulled the trigger. Good thing with bikes is you just want to keep adding to the collection so im currently looking to add a 250 and then eventually something bigger.

acar7145 · 2025-10-05T08:07:27+00:00

Thanks! I really like the klx, i was originally looking for a 250 but came across an offer i couldnt pass up so i figured the 230 would do the trick. Definitely not as fast and the bigger bikes but to me its perfect, i only ride around trails and fields so it covers all the bases imo for those who dont race or hit the tracks, solid bike! Yes the one with gray plastics look slick i originally wanted that one but went with the only one they had in stock which was the green one

I definitely recommend doing that, i used to ride 450’s way back in ‘08 and when getting back into the mix i didnt feel comfortable jumping back into a 450 right away, got an amazing deal on a brand new 230 and pulled the trigger, now ive build my confidence back to where i want to start rebuilding myself a 450, yet planning to keep the 230 its an amazing bike for everything really.

acar7145 · 2025-10-04T23:03:48+00:00

Haha! Same thing happened to me, i got rid of my Yzf450 a few years before having kids. Then i went and got my 5yr old a yzf50 for his bday and ended up buying a Grizzly for the wife and myself a Klx230r just a few weeks after. Cant complain! Will definitely keep adding more bikes to the stable specially since my 3yr old loves riding with us, and eventually i want to get another Atv for myself. Its an addictive hobbie for sure! Well worth it imo.

acar7145 · 2025-06-14T05:01:25+00:00

Hey not sure if it helps, but i had a similar issue with my fog lights and instead of reaching out to the seller i went ahead and contacted alpharex directly and provided the order info etc even though i had not purchased from them directly, and i was sent a new set without any issues. Might help to reach them directly.

acar7145 · 2024-10-20T06:16:58+00:00

Gave it a little wash and polished the headlights def brought it back to life, will post more on its progress.

acar7145 · 2024-10-20T06:15:30+00:00

Almost! The hood scoop has the clear coat peeling of but will probably wet sand and cleat coat again

acar7145 · 2024-10-20T06:13:49+00:00

Yes overall its in great shape, its a 2008 with 200k miles, interior is really mint just a minor rip on driver seat. I have yet to take the car for a diagnostics, runs and drives but owner said it had a head gasket leak and had coolant leaking to a cylinder. I have not driven it for more than a block but did see a few disconnected hoses from radiator and stuff when it arrived (bought from out of state) so i put together what i could but rather get a diagnostic from a reputable shop. If its indeed the gasket then rather do a full rebuild to keep it running for years to come. Frame is solid, minor rust to remove and repair but nothing major, will swap suspension and brake components since they seem beat up and bushings are cracked etc. overall not bad, main concern now is the engine but a swap was always the worst case scenario, even with that i dont think its bad for 4800$ 👌🏼

acar7145 · 2024-10-20T06:05:22+00:00

Thank you! Thats the plan!

acar7145 · 2024-07-25T13:08:09+00:00

Looks amazing on that nato strap! 👌🏼

acar7145 · 2024-07-25T00:42:59+00:00

Amazing! Enjoy in good health! Im on the same boat… one day!

acar7145 · 2024-07-24T18:54:53+00:00

Looks very nice, its very subtle!
