putting in new suspension

 

so the strut is loose but womt come out what is the easiest way to lower the lca more

 

Mark the alignment tabs with a sharpie, and loosen them up. Then line up the lines again when tightening back up. Pretty easy.

@MadTaco461 if you're not working today are you making progress on the cage?

 

I might be able to do some cage work today. I just flew back in yesterday, but once I get some stuff caught up might get a few hours in on the cage.

 

That's strange most people here rate their priorities family>truck>beer>food>taking out the trash>job haha. Don't forget to take pictures so us simple trucks can drool over your work

 

So i'm out in Irvine this morning and decided to stop into Power Toyota since my "Maintenance Required"light was on and i knew it was time for my 40k oil change.I purchased my truck there brand new back in 2012 but don't have my service done there though.I previously purchased a extended Toyota Care oil change and maintenance package and had one oil change left and was in the Irvine neighborhood and dealer.So i let the service writer know that my front skid plate is a Pelfreybilt IFS aftermarket skid and has a removable custom plate consisting of four 5/32 allen wrench screws/bolts to be removed to drop the plate to get to the oil pan drain bolt.He said that's a cool skid plate but that the mechanics would be unable to remove the access plate!Here we go!So i said well you have factory certified mechanics/technicians here and four allen wrench bolts are a over qualification for the mechanics/technicians!He said i'm sorry sir!So i said let me speak with the service manager!He was like!Service manager comes out took a look underneath my truck and said yeah that sure is a sharp looking skid plate but unfortunately we can't help you!If you want to remove it yourself and come back we'll be more than happy to take care of the oil change for you!So i said that's pretty embarrassing/pathetic on your part with something as simple as this!He said i'm very sorry sir but hopes that i will return for the service and future service!I held my composure and didn't get angry!I thought this was hilarious!Are you kidding me though!Something this simple!Went home got underneath the truck and removed the plate in like a minute or two!And no i'm not going back to have the oil change done in Irvine!Some funny s***!Certified mechanics/technicians,customer service/satisfaction apparently not!

 

@ODNAREM No way!
Did they tell you why they couldn't do it?

 

Yeah i thought the same thing as well and it wasn't necessary for me to blow a fuse at them!The simplicity of this though!

 

No and like @dtaco06 said above^i can understand they(dealership)don't want to be responsible for a mistake being made!We all know though they have the tools on hand!

 

Sucks you gotta go back and forth!
