My own dumb fault

 

So, I didn't ask who's fault? It still suuuuucks....
what happened?
It's been a wild ass weekend for a couple guys here

 

Probably similar to what caused theirs

 

no i understand that - sure you can find 'safe site' reports. What I mean is all it takes is one URL pointing at another and then another and then the URL is spoofed on one and you are on a virtually identical looking site but it may be malicious in nature. All I'm saying is there are some sites that send up a red flag for me.

 

Thanks for explaining that. I wouldn't have known if it was good or bad and if bad how bad

 

Lolol

 

Here's one link that explains some of the more widely used ploys -

Yea no. They’re junk. Fiat hasn’t made Chrysler engines any better

Interesting. It seems to deal with email stuff. I do appreciate heads up on any stuff like that, I'm not to up to speed when it comes to virus, malware stuff

 

That taco's not for me, but for someone that is gonna be a helluva deal

 

What was the name of that other kick ass heavy duty soft top maker you told me about?

 

I've considered the supercharger route but after sinking $3k + into a charger, parts, and fluids I'd still be stuck with a V6 that isn't really tunable. At least the 1UZ has aftermarket ECU support

Why? Aftermarket bolt ons and ecu support?

 

sas offers more space for stuff, and once you're down the rabbit hole of welding in new mounts and shit for a solid axle, adding in new engine and transmission bracing isn't that much more work. Then you end up with an engine/transmission combo that would be as bullet proof as a 1uz while also offering spare parts availability out the wazoo.

 

sure, think about it though - you register an account on a website, say a parts website and next thing you receive an official looking email that you click on a link contained within the email. you're taken to another site or asked to enter in data from security questions - a high percentage of people don't think to or won't bother with making up new answers for each and every site they are registered with. Most also use the same email address for nearly everything. sooner or later you're the victim of identity fraud.

ultimately I'm not saying you're going to implode by using any given site but like you said, sometimes you don't know...

 

There’s no information they can take from you unless your VIN. (Or if you decide to enter more than that) Phishing means they’re purposely and actively seeking out information from you.

I’m sure it’s hosted and hidden where it is so they don’t get a takedown notice from Toyota. All those parts catalogs are copyrighted. Easier to get around if hosted internationally.

 

Yeah I'd never pay that but needed the name so I can keep a lookout for a used or 'previously owned' one

 

You’re fine. There is no safety issue at all using that website.

If you decide to enter personal information then that’s another story.

 

Yeah, I don't make accounts on parts websites. But I do get what you're saying now

 

That's fair.... I have a hard time thinking I'll want to go past 35s even SA so unless I'm just obliterating CVs I think I'll be able to do 90 percent of trails on 35s
