    It appears that you must be that dumbass at Crown Toyota that made such a fool of himself stating that body panels and trim arent designed to last more than 36000 miles. Backed up by the retarded statement about a given weight bottoming the rear end. Ive had FAR more than 300 lbs in my truck and had no bottoming issues.. so your 300 lb joke is either pure BS, or I somehow get away with a heavier load because of my excessive speed?! Im sure you will have something else stupid to say to that..

    My being irresponsible??? are you additionally stupid enough to think that everyone here will believe that you in you uber-perfection has never broken the speed limit?? Or that you have never put your truck into a situation that exerted wind forces in excess of 90 MPH??? Ya.. I'm arguing... and its retarded as hell that someone like yourself brings something this potentially dangerous to a point where its an owners fault because HE BOUGHT A PRODUCT THAT HE ASSUMED TO BE OF A CERTAIN QUALITY. Im willing to bet that your one of those POS freeloaders that would try to sue everyone he could find to blame if you were following me and that mudflap came off and went thru you window.. killing the closest member of your twisted family. Mommy did a great job!

    Stupid people suck, I bet you swallow too!

    I don't have a Taco yet but I would like to say that commercial trucks do not use ridgid mud flaps and the availability are in just about every town across this nation.

    Anytime ridgid flaps are used on a pu it seems like they don't seem to hold up very well to the abuse they are handed.

    I do have a Jeep TJ that I installed the Jeep flaps ( @120k miles ago) which are just like the commercial flaps (floppy)
    I know the floppy flaps may not be the best looking but they are functional to a degree.

    You need to take a pill. You bought a quality truck that has a few flaws. If you don't like the truck, buy a Ford. I bet a lot more than the Ford's mudflaps will fall off the way you drive.

    You have a 36k mile warranty. Your odometer is over 36k. The dealership owes you sh**. You're the one that came on here talking about how you're mad that the dealership won't help you out. I bet you try to return a product a day after the return policy expires and pitch a hissy fit in the store b/c they won't accomodate you. It's not just the voices in your head... everybody IS out to get you!!!

    We're not saying that we are 'uber-perfect' drivers, but merely suggesting that the plastic mudflaps might not hold up to your constant wreckless driving. What NERVE we have!

    They guy you quoted didn't say anything to give the impression that he would be a 'POS freeloader' that wants to sue everybody for everything. I'm not sure where you got that. In fact, YOU are the one that seems to feel like he deserves and can demand more than the average consumer b/c you're special. If your mudflap did come off and did kill somebody, maybe a finger should be pointed at the dis-respectful jacka** driving well above the speed limit because he thinks that his business is more important than the lives of the people around him.

    "Stupid people suck, I bet you swallow too!" Now THAT was clever. Did you hear that on the way home from school one day?

    It sucks about your mudflap... but put your big-boy pants on and DEAL WITH IT!

    If I worked at the dealer you went to I would have laughed in your face when told me your little story. Fact of the matter is that you where driving irresponsibly and damaged your vehicle. Thats just to goddamn bad for you. The dealer doesn't owe you shit. Go cry about it somewhere else.

    Since you seem to have such an issue with your truck, go and buy one of these. It would suit you perfectly.

    Everything else contained in your post I LOL'd at and won't even bother responding to. Thanks for proving me right in saying that your an immature moron.
