NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Truck Found and Recovered. Thanks everyone for you support. It was located by the King County Sheriff's Department only about 5 miles from my house in a parking lot of an apartment building. There was no damage to the ignition. It is in my buddies garage now as I am out of the country until next week. Initially I thought the thief must have had a master key or something, but as they only took personal items from inside the cab and none of the accessories (not even the Hi-Lift, shovel and axe from the bed), now I am thinking they were just a car prowler and maybe I left a key in the truck or something??? I feel like an idiot if this was the case... I've been reading different threads on re-programing the keys and adjusting the lock tumblers. I welcome any suggestions.

 

Think his name is Wayne maybe. I've taken a ton of stuff to him over the last 18ish years. Great guy.

 

I re-did the lock tumblers on my truck. It's pretty easy and a good piece of mind

 

That's amazing. Too bad they don't all end this way.

 

That's serious good news.

 

Have your buddy buy you a lottery ticket.

That's almost unbelievably lucky, haha.

 

And only 5 miles away from his house

 

Just went to Toyota of Kirkland to get some power steering fluid. I asked for a price on a new ps pump. $430. I asked for the part number. They said that they don't give out part numbers. It's their shop policy. Sad to say I ended up buying the power steering fluid at AutoZone 5 min later and I'm never, ever, ever going to buy a single thing from Toyota of Kirkland ever again.

Update: just googled the part number $278 online.... bastards...

 

I would've looked up the part number on the spot, asked them to look that up for the price, smiled and left.

 

Getting a new one before moab?

 

Possibly. Mine is starting to whine as the revs go up. At the least I'll just take a AutoZone cheapie with me along with other parts for the trip. 2 more weeks to go!

 

Arrived today and installed. Completed my Trans/TCase skids from Skid Row Offroad. Only took 15min to installed

 

How much was your exhaust reroute?

 

I have a 98 4Runner, so no reroute for me

 

I completely forgot you do... looks clean!

 

Now I'm ready Brian

 

Haha for sure. We'll have to head back

 

Yes Sir

 

All chopped and no more rub

 

Toyota of kirkland just sucks all around. When i was shopping for my truck the little bug eyed fuck and his fat fuck friend tried to push me into a brand new tundra. when i was looking for pre-owned tacoma. The truck was also 10k over my budget, but they wouldn't leave me alone. even after i started to leave they had every sales rep run out after me and my wife.
