    They told me no wheeling or rock crawling until fixed lol that's horrible. And it could be as long as 7 months. But yeah, stoked about the new frame. If all goes well.

    7 months??? :eek: :eek: It took them 3 weeks for mine. That's including the wait time to get it as well as the labor time. This was in 2012, and Texas. I was their first frame replacement ever. The guys at the dealership didn't even know the rust recall was a thing!

    alot still need done
    Least you get a new frame my 2000 tacoma wasn't so lucky. It was crushed :'(
    But least toyota gave me enough money to buy a 2001 tacoma with a 5 speed and j shifter for 4x4. Only down side was no supercharger like my 2000. Wish I would of thought about asking the dealership to install the supercharger from my 2000 onto my 2001. and put the stock intake from the 01 onto the 00. But oh well.

    And awww looks like I'll just leave drums in the rear then

    Replaced the old bulbs in the Floods with some hid from the retrofit source. Nice and bright. Now just need to replace with some 55w ballasts.

    Hope nothing breaks. Since you didn't purchase it from Tepui it may not be under warranty. But you do save some cash

    Why, because my Toyota dealer just waited 9 months for 5 frames. They have a line of Tacoma's in there lot waiting. The est. time for mine to get a frame is 12 months. They have told me they are having problems getting the frames.

    I heard it wasn't an official Tepui GB and that it's just a customer buying a lot of them well that's what Adam (BoxRocket) said. I was going to jump in but it just seemed sketchy to me

    I'm surprised they let you drive off the lot. It's a huge liability factor. Should your frame fail while driving after they failed it, I'm sure they could be liable.

    If you read the first post of that thread it explains that it is just that. He is buying them in bulk from Tepui and then selling them to whoever signs up.

    If the warranty is not transferable then Tepui has no obligation to warranty any of the tents that are bought in the GB.

    ^This..I was wondering about this. Thanks for the heads up. I'm probably going to get mine through Adam or the next group buy on TW if one happens in the near future
