    Hey all!! I've been waiting years for buy a classic Tundra. I found this unicorn a few months ago when I was in California. Then I drove it up to Alaska and I think it's happier here. :)

    Welcome! I’ve owned my gen 1 since new, 23 years. One of the best trucks ever built IMO! I would love to see more pictures. Looks like quicksand? I have that color on my 2020 Tundra.

    It's such a great vehicle! That's incredible that you still own an original g1! Yeah it's the same paint as the newer models. I'd love to post more photos but I have that limited interior Alaska bandwidth right now. I'll def post some when I move up to Fairbanks at the end of the month.
