Frame Came Today - And it Begins !

Mine is an '04, I'll stop by dealer next week and talk to them about it. I'd like to know if I'm at least covered for a little bit, thanks guys!

 

If you go to www.toyota.com

See the drop down at the top, "Owners" Sign up and you can then run your VIN to see ALL service that was done by Toyota. If you click on the short description of work performed it will open if there's a long list.
You can enter all your own maintenance/mileage too. A nice log to have.

 

Never knew this. Thanks !

 

This pic was sent to me Friday afternoon - I would guess by midweek at latest I get my truck back !

 

i have a 1998 tacoma that has been inspected and sprayed and now have a hole that rusted in the frame on the right rear upper shock mount area.so even tho they inspected it and sprayed it and now i have a hole in my frame am i sol with toyota helping me?

 

Your truck is 20 years old. No vehicle rust warranty ever made covers 20 years.

 

^ what Snowman said is about right

 

Did you have to use spacers or do anything special to make those wheels fit? I've been eyeing those wheels for quite some time now and some places say they fit while others say they wont.

 

Went right on no problem ~

 

Thanks. Would love to see more pictures when you get your truck back.

 

Truck waiting to be cleaned up and oil change. Plan to have it back by Thursday. TOYTEC lift looks awesome...

Front wheel clearance with and without the lift..

 

All my tacomas have been extra cabs (I guess that's my thing), but your truck looks very good.

 

Picked up my truck this evening. WOW does the new suspension, shocks, bushings make a difference. Truck drives like a dream -
Some things I did notice while in the loaner '15 double cab - and now back in my 03' double cab. Wow does my cab seem small now. What a difference in size. Also the steering radius. Glad to get back in my 03 as far as that's concerned. The '15 I could barely park in parking lots without two tries. So used to mine I guess which apparently is quite nimble !

 

Got mine back this afternoon. Only drove it the few hundred yards from the dealer to my house. I'll take it out this weekend to test everything out. They did an amazing detail job on it - including some paint touch-up on my rusty wheels.

Around $13,000 billed to Toyota and another $5,000 billed to me for extra stuff I had done.

 

Good luck Karl.

 

About to order Toytec Boss suspension for my double cab... Was wondering what weight coils you went with and full leaf pack in the back or aal ? Is the ride softer than factory?

 

Mine is an 03 and I went with the 550 lb coils on Toytecs recommendation. Also just the AAL as the frame came with new factory leafs. I still have the KO2 "E" load tires on it... So they are a pretty hard tire. BUT The ride is SO improved over what I had- Drove mine today all day and no problems. Tracks straight as an arrow, again the suspension feels GREAT. The first gen does well with the 550 front springs.. Cant say enough about the suspension improvement.

 

Looks really nice with the new suspension. Looking to do something similar when my frame comes in. I just cant decide between OME or an adjustable coil over .

BTW I want that cap! lol

 

how much lift did you adjust your coils to... I was thinkin of getting the average 600lb coils and adjust to 3" lift... but not sure if it will be too rough a ride?

 

I didn't adjust them They were set to what appears to be 2 1/2" lift and matched the rear AAL height exactly.
And yes on a 1st gen Toytec says the red 600 lb springs will be a rougher ride than the 550 springs which are silver.
