Hood adjustment.

Has any of you adjusted the hood yet? After aligning the nose, now the hood is more visible skewed to the driver side by 1/16".
Need suggestions how to do it easy, too tired and lazy to play with the hood hinges 20+ times.

 

1/16" of an inch. that bothers you? really?

 

It's probably fluttering in the wind at 60mph by 3/32.

 

My truck leans 2/32 of an inch driver side after a long night at the buffet. fkn pisses me off.

 

Reminds me of the guy here whose back seat center wasn't lined up exactly with the rear sliding window center. Only a cowgirl would notice.

 

Ahh the "I want to talk to your manager!" haircut.

 

I have a different name for that haircut and my hood gap is off 3/64"... should I lemon law it?

 

Easy-Peasy.....
Lift hood...
Grab rubber "Thingy" on the driver's side....(the hood rests on this)
Turn it 1 turn counter clockwise....
Close hood and have a beer...!!

OOps… I just looked again and your hood is too far right..... Maybe just a good push to the right while hood is up..??

YES, YES, YES!
I have not slept the last 2 nights, and barely ate any food. Finished a prescription of Prozac in this time.
Also I may relapse into drinking, just bought a 2 liter bottle of Pepsi (for Captain Morgan). At this point I may just get a Ridgeline...

On light colored vehicles it is more noticeable imo.

 

I honestly don't notice anything.

 

Yeah, that's awful. Return it.




\sarcasm

 

on the same subject: does anyone fit a lock to their hood?

 

At least you're a good sport about it :0)

I'd honestly hate you if I was a service adviser and you brought that shit to me.... but good thing I'm not a service adviser so we can still be friends

 

You understand you purchased a ~$40k truck, not a $400K Ferrari.

WHAT!!!
Mine is a Fera-Ghini.
Priceless.

 

BREAKING NEWS

Have loosened the bolts at the hinge/hood location but that hood fucker is not moving more than a hair in any direction
What kind of car company does not allow at least 1" of hood moving ???

 

Toyota?

 

Same thing on my truck. Tried adjusting the little rubber things, didn't make a difference. So I stopped giving a shit (which is surprising for me). If someone is interested in stealing my washer fluid reservoir they can stick their little chicken fingers in and grab it.
