@Moxie you need a build thread STAT! great looking truck and even better color choice! i sent you a message regarding some info on the flares as well...

 

Do you have the part numbers used for this project?

 

You can tell by looking at the pics? You have magical powers?

 

Which dealer? I'm in the market ATM and have visited Toy of Seattle. I know they use Epic Customs in Tacoma for custom work.

 

Any rubbing? or trimming required?
nice ride btw

 

Ditto! My girl just had TPLO (ACL) surgery, so something like this will be great.

 

I'm starting to fall in love with your truck man!! Keep up the good work! Also can you post a picture from the side i want to see it in all its glory!

 

Wow king lifts are $$$$$$

 

Welcome back how many days was it since you sold the other one? Less than a month right?

 

Do not believe an thing they tell you. I just went through this too weeks ago. I watched My truck in the bay the whole time. It could have taken 1 1/2 hrs to check tranny fluid because it has to be at 113*F. They had my truck in a bay for 1/2 hr then parked it out back I saw it I watched it. Then an hour later they called my name I waited and wanted to see how they played this out. When I mentioned to the service writer that my truck was out back for almost an hour and why wasn't I called then he turned into stuttering John. I immediately asked for the manager and then they told me that my biggest concern was transmission fluid. They said they never checked it the process would take too long I was waiting for him to lie about that too but I had Cross Check on the plug. I got loud and made demands. They pulled my truck back in and low and behold my fluid was low. Those 5k FREE check ups are BS and a scam ask for the checklist ask to talk to the mechanic. They all lie.

 

ill keep this in mind, I'm coming up to my 5000 mile check up. did they compensate you for all the trouble?

 

Thanks brotha, less than 10 days
Yeah I sold it on 5/18 and brought this one home yesterday.

Shopped around for a bit but couldn't find anything else that was as good for the money.

My quicksand was built this month and was on the lot for less than 3 days.
Feels much smoother from park to drive and while driving than my last Tacoma that was built in october 2015

 

I also told them I wanted my oil changed they said they don't do this on a 5k check up I told them the first oil change is the most important and I want it done. Well they said it was going to be $49. I ended up being there for 5 HOURS but in the end I got what I wanted, I was right and was compensated $49 for my inconvenience they waived the oil change charge.

 

Don't you get a free oil change and tire rotation at 5,000 miles??? i have a sticker that even says that on my windshield...

 

The service advisor told me when I asked him how come the things were not checked off in the book I had laid in the seat for said such purpose, he told me they check it off the list on there computers. (I know he told me a story) I looked on the Toyota web site once I got home and and it was listed they done a visual check and checked the torque on the rear U-Bolts like I asked. I may just as well take my truck to Walmart for the oil changes and they can keep there oil/filter.

I know the service techs tell stories that is why I waived the transmission fluid check. Tranny goes out I'll buy a new RAV4.

 

pretty much all coilovers are expensive. I think I'll cheap out and do the Bilstein route but get good UCA's that way I can just upgrade eventually. Meh.

 

Glad to hear, now just have to keep an eye out for that hood separation, did you ask them to check the tranny fluid? Gotta update your avatar pic

 

I like your color choice. Congrats on the new truck.

 

I washed this bad b*%^h up today.
