Lifting my taco with the warranty

http://www.pelfreybilt.com/#!2012-2013-front-plate-bumper/cfto
New bumper, plus a winch,skids,sliders.... new springs are a must

 

Hmmm OK I have to go to the dealer soon n I'll see what some of the other service reps say... then try another dealership n keep trying, what's a high price for the labor they would charge u believe?..... it would be piece of mind down the road if they did the lift..... if they attempt to blame it for sumthen else....... they totally never would try that right?

 

I have a 2013 Tacoma 4WD DCSB TRD Offroad I bought for my wife in May and I had a shop that our Toyota dealer uses for their lift kits and they installed a complete OME for us.

The Tacoma looks great.

I bought an extended warranty for my wife and I was concerned about voiding it.

The dealership told me it might. They would not give me a definite answer one way or the other. That is why I chose to use the independent shop they use. If things do fail I am going to be upset to say the least.

I hope it works out for us.

I had an ARB front bumper installed, sliders, complete set of 4 skid plates and various other aftermarket things done so I wanted her to have a lift.

I hope I did not make a mistake I guess we will see.

Take your time.

Good luck.

 

i talked to the dealer when i bought my 13 and thier recomendationwas to use a spacer lift and it wouldnt void anything

i got the platinum 125k warranty as well as the lifetime powertrain

he said that the spacer qualifies as "leveling kit" and that they dont consider a leveling kit to cause any problems.

in the future i plan to go with OME and some sort of UCA

 

I just purchased a new 2013 in June and had a 3 inch lift done by the dealer. They told me that was the max allowable lift and remain under warranty. They wanted 1500, but I got them down to 1000 dollars for the parts and labor including alignment which they had to do twice because they had the rear out of alignment.

 

If I took my.truck to 4wp the parts touched by them would be warrantied.by them n eberthing else would be by toyota still

 

Even If a dealer says it's covered by warranty, if you bring it win for a warranty defect they are going to try to get out of it even if they know that the lift didnt cause the issue. Whatever you do, get it in writing.

 

I sure hope that's all new shocks, springs and at least an AAL. If they charged you $1,000 for spacers I'd be pretty mad.

 

I believe it was spacers. They offered one kind only for the 3" to keep warranty.

 

To tell the truth I don't know how to tell the difference in types of lifts and as for dakars I have no clue what that is.

 

Unfortunately I think your dealer knew that too. A Rough Country 3" spacer lift costs $250 for parts. If that's what they gave you, I'd go back and get some money back! $750 for labor would not make me a happy camper.

 

Either way, that kit is only $350 so he still got way over charged for install.

 

Talked to my service rep at my dealership n he said toyota is one of the least picky when it comes to honoring warranty work unless it was blatenly messed up by a new aftermarket lift.... may be ordering my parts sooner then I thought

 

Sweet!

 

Helps that the dealer was located in oakland too.....
