    Walmart dude... Enough said. Company craps on their workers left and right cutting corners wherever they can to save a penny. Not surprised.


    Maybe... don't get me wrong, costco is second to none when it comes to customer service, I just wish the batts I purchased from them would have held up :annoyed:

    I bought a brand new faucet from the local Walmart around here, and I found out after I installed it that it was used and broken. They purposely wrapped it back up to make it appear new.

    Also from that same Walmart was a router that was supposed to be new. Nope, it was a return. Good thing it worked or I might've raised hell.

    Hmm, reconnected with an old buddy just now at the store.

    He just one ton'd his 4runner and hyped me up.

    Time to not put any more money into this IFS.

    Nope - nothing on my phone.

    Should be fine with Auxbeam. I remember purchasing like 4 different brands from Amazon and returning them all because of crap material or design. Auxbeam was the only one which didn't look like it came out of some garage assembly line.

    You Hawaii does have to like 2 extras. Super lifted show trucks or crazy built rock crawlers.

    Never set foot in there again. For one, you'll probably get carjacked in that lot... hell, their security will probably be coordinating :rofl:

    This was the local Super Walmart in Meridian, Mississippi. I've never had an issue at the Union City Walmart. Been going my entire life and will probably continue as long as I'm around.

    If you want a ghetto Walmart, go to the one in San Leandro next to Rasputin. Now that's a Walmart I wouldn't want to spend five minutes in.

    Did that Tundra you pulled wiring from not have it?

    Window regulators and lock actuators are a bitch to ship since they're so long and awkward. I trash the lock arms for the lock actuators when I do sell them because they drive up the shipping cost, usually you can reuse your old one.

    thanks but no thanks - I avoid that business altogether. Only time I'd ever set foot in there was to grab a couple of jugs of oil. Haven't for some time. I'll spend a couple of bucks more and buy it elsewhere.

    Lock Actuators you need E-Torx. There should be three of them on the edge of the door. After that you'll need to pull the window glass out with a few bolts on the regulator rail, however you need to lower the window enough so the access holes line up with the bolts on the regulator. I do this with some scrap electrical harness and my drill battery, reverse polarity on the motor connector to move up and down.

    One the glass is out, unbolt the regulator. It's about six or eight bolts. Then unbolt the window track on the side of the door, and the inner door skin. Pull out the rubber gasket and now you can remove the lock actuator. The lock actuator arms are a bit tricky to remove, so be careful.

    I've done this too many times. I made good money off Tacoma power door lock actuators, paid $20 each and sold them for $100 a pop. 1995-2000 power door armrests were probably one of the best items I used to sell. They're always broken and split, and they're rare on Tacomas. The part was the same on the 2nd Gen 4Runner which there are plenty of. They'd charge me like $3 for "Molding" and I'd sell sets of them for $45 each, $80 for the pair.

    Then the Caddy horns took over, and I stopped doing that.
