    I had this.



    Then the news came. So I got one of these:


    And one of these


    Then BAM! August 16


    6 months old:



    The first few months are pretty freaking rough for us first timers especially (I have no idea what I'm doing x 10,000), but when they start smiling at you every morning...and you start dreaming of everywhere you want to take them and everything you want to do with them...:)

    No both headlights was replaced. Just bought the truck from my job and there was a crack on the turn signal so I guess there was a TSIB and that if you have this problem then both lights get replaced. I think it is stops at 11. Because the headlights changed in 12. The orange light was removed and now its clear. Thats why they just changed both.

    Yeah, I hate when I lose all of my radio stations settings. :laugh:

    Seriously. I normally only listen to maybe one or 2 stations. But once in a while flip around. But I honestly have no idea what I had programmed where.

    Update on this - Apparently Headlight assemblies aren't covered under the Toyota Platinum Extended Warranty as they denied the claim when my service advisor called it in. After, I spoke with 3 reps from Toyota (each one an escalation) and all denied my request to have these covered. I was very polite, firm & professional. The Rub - the language in the current warranty does specifically exclude light assemblies (which surprises me), but my 2011 copy of my warranty is slightly different as it lists all light assemblies EXCEPT headlight as being excluded....WTF!! I even took a pic of that language and texted to Toyota. The still said all light assemblies aren't covered and they don't have any documented exceptions to that. Bummer as the new headlight assemblies are over $750 installed.

    But - now my service advisor/dealership is hooking me up after hearing of my complaint to Toyota - they're giving me employee pricing on the parts, plus my employer get's a 10% discount, and aren't charging me labor, so the grand total installed will be just under $400 for two new OEM headlight assemblies installed.

    Kinda pissed as I've never had a headlight assembly fail on any other vehicle I've ever owned (all non Toyota).

    Get the car seat under cover. It has a large rod in the back that tucks in under the back seat cushion and seat back to hold it in place. The It helps prevent the dents and also kid spills on the seat. Some have storage areas that hang over the front side. I used to keep wipes there for clean up. Any baby store has them, or on line.

    Yo sig get some nice hid's for 300 and put them in its pretty easy I broke those little metal clips on my stock lights and got some Angel eyes I figured if I went with the stock ones they would just break again. My two cents

    About a week ago I posted that I installed my new Apex All Pro front bumper. Now the front is creaky and squeaky when going into steep sections or descending... Anyone else have this issue when they first put on some armor?
