NW WA Meet / BS Thread

can't it be covered by insurance?

 

Finally mounted the 06 Prius OEM camera on the center of my tire carrier. Just used bolts I had laying around. Will upgrade to stainless later tonight

 

I'm sure it can. I didn't go through insurance tho. I made the mistake of telling my agent it was cracked by the previous owner. If it had cracked when I owned it, it would have been covered.

 

Unless you may have usaa, windows are under the deductible

 

nice, I'm going to relocate my oem camera which is currently giving me a closeup view of my tire carrier.

 

Mahaloz JDAM, I had no idea that the Tacos came with a OEM camera. Is it above the tailgate handle like the Tundra

 

it's in the tailgate handle. I should replace the handle with one that doesn't have the hole for the camera.

 

IIRC, regardless of when/where, if its a visibility hazard (you can't see out or creates a bright starlight in your eyes), it can be replaced under insurance.
Now that insurance company is aware of said cracked windshield and if you get into an accident because of the blinding Washington sunshine, guess who is liable??

 

The last time I broke a windshield with gieco they didn't cover it cuz it was under 500$ now I have usaa I might call and see just incase.

 

Related but not quite:
I had my used super sedan for 1 month; was doing ±70mph on the freeway and a large bolt skipped off the hood and hit the windshield directly in the eyesight of the driver.
Safelite came out looked at it and said that they "could" fix it with that gu but it would just come back in 2 years worse.
I called USAA said that there is no way that the gu would work as per the windshield tech stated, get me a new OEM AUDI RS6 windshield, not some crap aftermarket.
They asked for a justification for the $700 windshield. I said it was a $97k car to which you can see on the initial valuation and if/when I resell it, if there isn't that stupid Audi 4 rings, my asking price just dropped $1k.
Justification authorized.

 

Is that some fancy dual mount, or a relentless ans a CBI?

 

Currently, I have 11 stars in mine.. Time for windshield #4 soon.

 

I'd go with a homemade fancy dual mount cut with bolt cutters and grinded with a dremel. I need to invest in a proper grinder...

 

Now I can see behind me because my spare tire was blocking my view

 

You talking angle grinder? Cause I have one you could probably borrow if you wanna do a mod day. I still need to finish doing my fog lights and Ill just use your truck as reference

Also when exactly is the next meet? I keep hearing tahuya next weekend?

 

I'm gonna end up buying one. But if you need a hand let me know

 

Stopped by Mule Outfitters today, picked up some maxtrax's and a trasharoo. They got a pretty nice setup there and fun people to talk to.

 

Nice! I was there Wednesday, still waiting to hear back on a quote for the TC race kit.

 

Thats just about everyone, I also give people about a week then I start calling back. Did you get a quote from them on gears & lockers by chance?

 

No I'm going through ECGS. They told me $3775 with f/r arb's and 4.88 gears before core return. Add about $60-$80 for the oil and solid spacer. I'll probably order within the next week for that.
