2005 Tundra Double Cab Build Thread

Hey everyone, I'm Luke. I'm from Orange County, California and wanted to share my building with you guys. I would love to get crazy with the build, but it's a 2WD truck and I use it for work. Even though I use it for work, I'm a stickler for always keeping my things pristine, clean, and maintained. Thank you for all your shared info on this site, I used it as a guideline for my build.

I bought the truck with 150k miles on it from a small local dealer. The first order of business was getting the timing belt done. I took it to a mechanic to get that done, and ended up finding out that the truck needed quite a bit in terms of suspension components, bushings, steering rack, center carrier bearing, etc. FUCKKKKKK. I was a bit frustrated at first, but this was my own fault. After the frustration wore off I started to get excited about doing a small build. All other work on the truck was done by my Dad and I.
