    Some really cool shit
    Really bummed. Finally got my garage cleaned up and ready to park truck inside with wife's Audi. Barely fit. Maybe two inches vertical clearance. What was worse is that it was right up against the workbench in the back, and nearly touching the garage door in the front. Absolutely eliminating any tinkering in the garage if the truck was in there. Screw that. Back to parking on the driveway. image.jpg

    Sound's like you need to "prior damage" their front window with a brick.

    i just asked that they replace what broke as it broke under their watch. Dude straight up said "it was broken when it came in". I didnt think i had bad Karma but sometimes i wonder. I try to reverse is and im learning to be a lot more patient with things and not let things bother me. But now im missing a front cap and knowing i didnt do it myself bugs me.

    I feel you, after putting in the offer in my place I opened the garage and pulled the truck up. I'm 2" too tall, ugh. Not so worried as I won't be working on the Tundra much and when I get a 1st gen 4runner it should fit no problem.

    Oh man that was like a selling point for me, if the prerunner with a 4" lift could fit in each house's garage. If not, not putting an offer in. Wife was 100% on board with it.

    Yeah I didn't even think of it at the time. Granted my Tundra is pretty tall with it's 34's and camper shell, but I knew going into it I wouldn't be working on my truck for a few years anyways. I don't plan on modding the Tundra, but getting a 1st gen 4runner to work on instead of my daily. That should fit no problems, unless I SAS and throw 37's on it haha.

    Okay, all BS aside. I've got two extra tickets to tomorrow nights Raiders game. Free to anyone that can make it. I can pick you up if you're on the way to Oakland from Santa Rosa. Otherwise we can plan a spot to meet, you're also welcome to tailgate if you'd like. If you're interested please let me know.

    I should also mention they're good seats, 20 rows from the end zone. My Girlfriend and buddy cannot make it.

    already have, they deflected it to the shop since they're individually owned.
    Same one, still not replaced. Corporate told me to wait a bit while they escalated it internally. Today was when the manager replied and told me to get bent.

    Really not going to get anywhere if the shop said to pound sand.

    Maybe Wheeler's sells new center caps? If not, I bet Relentless can fab you a new one lickity split.
