    Could be 'that boosty thing' thats causing it lol. But I'm hoping since its a TRD part it won't be considered something bad to the vehicle, so the clutch would still be covered

    Clutches usually arnt covered under warranty, even under the fancy coverage ones, it's considered a wear item, hope they help you out tho, or you need driving lessons :)

    Yes to both lol. I know I slip the clutch alot, I know I do. This is my first manual on 4 wheels. I'm still trying to learn downshifting revmatching, but my upshifts are usually pretty good. I just really think the clutch wasnt designed for much more than stock power. I probably just suck at driving lol, but you'd think it would last more than 5k miles lol. Which 2k of that was driving down to SoCal lol.

    Oh, I know thats what did it. I'm just hoping I can get them to change it based on a TRD item and only 5k miles.

    Dang I thought I was among the older (of the younger) crowd. I'm 25, wife is almost 27. We've been trying for kids. I can't wait. We both got the kid fever after we've watched our Nephew grow.

    Oh, and :wave: Been a while since I've been on here. Busy with projects around the house and spending time with the family. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Well the hubs guy has severely disappointed me and lied over and over. He made a label Tuesday to shut me up and has yet to drop them off. I've already had to cancel my plans next weekend and it's going on too long. I don't see how this guy got so many good reviews.

    Anyone have experience with Wet Okole and their warranty? Not too stoked my driver seat cover is getting holes worn on the edge. Website says 90 day warranty. Seems a bit short for $500 seat covers...

    Some really cool shit
    NorCal Spotted: Useless douche on 680 Southbound through Concord. Wednesday evening. This young chick in a 4 door Toyota sedan crosses four lanes to cut me off while I'm doing 70 in the fast lane. Carpool lane was still available but alone in my Taco. I flash my highs at her as my way of saying, 'you're a douche'. Road rage ensues. She slows down. I slow down. She speeds up, so I regain some speed. It's the fast lane, after all. I figure, when I get caught up, if she's still gonna screw around I'll just pass on the right, in the open lane. So, I do just that. At the last second she swerves into my lane………… then hits the brakes. Hard! F^&(#ing c%^&! I tested the Taco brakes to the max. Break pedal to the floor. I can hear all four Goodrich Mud T/A's grabbing asphalt. I'm about to make impact, I'm sure of it. I can't see the back of her car I'm so close. Finally, the bitch lets off the break inches before contact. And off she goes. I immediately hit the gas for fear of being rear ended. She hits the gas and starts weaving in and out of the car pool lane to get out of Dodge. Damn it. Off all the days not to have my grill mounted shotgun! Thankfully, brakes performed well, and the truck stopped straight. Probably lost a years worth of brake pad and tire rubber. How I hate asshole drivers.

    Mind if I ask you to elaborate on this? I never blamed a holiday for any "lack of effort" on my part. I have told customers that I would be closed on Veterans Day. That is all I have ever said about a holiday issue. Ask around and you will find that I am always working hard to get orders built and shipped as quickly as I can. If you give me your order number I will check into this. I don't see any orders from California recently with the first name of Sam or Samuel.

    Outers seem like a bit much, it's the inner a that bend, but hey spares are nice to have, where do you draw the line? I'd do a hub, inner rod, cv, and a rear driveline for the real nasty trips
