What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Thats a great idea!

 

I hate you had an experience like that. That's a big purchase, and basically the foundation of your trips: a nice habitat at the end of each day. I dont want to rub salt in the wound, but for the sake of others, I would like to offer a comparison. I had a awning grommet pop out when test fitting my Smittybilt tent the first time. I reached out to smittybilt to get a new grommet so I could repair it. Smittybilt sent me a whole new tent shell. I fixed the grommet easily. Now I have a backup shell. So when my tent wears out or fades(or I do something stupid<-likeliest scenario), I can swap out all the fabric and start over. People crap on Smittybilt but the tent has been flawless and their customer service was completely no hassle. And the tent was only $750 new.

I hope you can move past the initial bad taste and enjoy your tent. My RTT has been a game changer in many circumstances. I still carry a smaller ground tent for certain situations, but on long trips the RTT has made life very easy.

 

Its awesome until the pad "clack" comes back, then I wish we could just pull two extra bolts.

 

My next will be a splurge for the high lift version, now that I am up to near 35s, the regular lift jack is a little shallow when trying to get the frame. Wish I had bought the high reach to begin with.

 

Are we talking spacer suspension lift or body lift? I hear people confuse the two all the time..

 

I left an honest review on their website; pretty much in line with what I said here.

Last Thursday, the customer service manager over there had come across my review; it hadnt yet posted (still hasnt).

He looked into my case, called me and it seemed he felt my frustration, and is trying to make things right. First he offered to ship a new tent out, but that inherently comes with the risk of arriving damaged just like the first tent; and I would have to pack up and send the original tent I received (saw this coming but not ideal since I already mounted my tent). He also said he could offer some additional cash back, and asked what I thought was reasonable.

I politely said that I wasnt looking for a deal on a scratch and dent kind of thing. While I appreciate those offers, how about you take back the 100 dollar initial refund, keep whatever additional refund you are considering, and put it towards a new tent shell.

He confirmed my color, and said they dont have one in the warehouse, but he would look into putting an order for one in production, or pulling one off a tent in their warehouse, and that I would he hearing back from him.

I still haven't heard back, but I am hopeful they will make things right.

 

How long ago was that?

 

That would be sweet. Once you have this worked out and get out in the boonies with it this will all be the past. Good luck!

 

Left my review on their website 2/28. Call from Roam came 3/4.

Granted this is all after an initial 2 week back and forth with the first customer service rep.

 

Thanks I will measure them to make sure I have a CX so hopefully they work.

 

well it’s basic military green. it’s not as bright and light as it shows in the picture. It’s Olive drab But somehow in the picture it looks lime green. I tried to get matching colors with the cerakote on my 9mm. And no just the dials the center console and the ring around the gauges .

 

What paint did you use ? Want to paint my shifter bezel black

 

Thought I'd follow up on this. took a shot last night to illustrate. I don't know if it really does it justice, but you get the idea.

 

Installed some KC Cyclone Under Hood Lights. Pretty basic.

 

Boy, and I thought I was a little wild with the rattle can...LOL

 

ADDW1 oil catch can installed mounted to the PowerTray.

 

yeah i was disappointed as well. Hopefully the $1400 i spent on new front coilovers will be worth it in the end

 

lmao

 

Haha I feel you. I was just too excited to share lol. Just washed her and clay-bar for the first time today

 

I'm contemplating another rattle can paint job on the wrecked truck I'm bringing back to road worthy. The truck is black, and the only color I hate worse than white is black. Home Depot has a matte "Fossil" color that is kind of a lighter-than-beige tan. So far that looks like the top contender. It would make the truck cooler and show the Utah dust less, and touch up paint would be quick and easy.

But damn... I have to give you props for having the cajone's to paint your 9. I'm gonna have to think about that one.
