What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice touch, great option if you ever had to change a tire at night. What brand of rock light did you use?

 

I had the same problem… just kinda hoping it doesn’t fling out right now.

 

How about a console safe?

Toyota can not deny a warranty claim just because you have aftermarket accessories. If they feel the accessory is the cause of any claim they must prove it to deny your claim!
Know your rights, the law favors the consumer.

Been there, Done that. It's a pipe dream.
You are spot on about the M/M Act being there for you. I took Subaru to court using the M/M Act. And I won.
BUT in the real world, the truth of it is they WILL DENY you warranty and YOU have to prove them wrong.

That's not how the law is written, but it is how the law plays out. Damnit!
It was a huge chore for me to sue Subaru of America. Took almost two years. The whole time I'm paying for a rental car, storage fees, and tows (they paid it all back, but it was out my pocket until they did so). Had to hire an independent mechanical investigator (they were not budging on just my word). Dealer was absolutely worthless once SoA rep stepped in. Dealership owner was super pissed at the manager for not doing more, but that was after the fact (he didn't know of it all during those 2 years).
SoA knew they had nothing on me; they wanted $6k from me for a new engine (prolly a $3k cost to them); they denied me straight away without ever seeing the facts (their habit/policy?); and they kept denying me right up to losing in court. Their $3k profit cost them a $44k loss in the end (and the loss of a repeat customer).

So, sad as it is, the dealer will deny warranty coverage due to aftermarket accessories if he wants to. You have to fight him to gain your rights.

 

The Marine Corps taught us to use an iron and paper towel to get the crayon out of our uniform back in the '70s. lol

Funny but true. Kind of. They did teach us that - but didn't call out crayons specifically. It was for any heat-reactive, waxy, oily, etc. stain.

 

I used the six amber KC Hilites cyclone V2. I’m not sure which ones @toku58 opted for but I thought it was cool he had 12.

 

That is Sexy!

 

Doors are relatively easy since you’re not dealing with a confined space like that of the tweeters.

 

yea for now im putting em where the center console is by my knee.

 

Hey @rgljr831 , what is your "likes you've given" count up to now?

I have 153 pages. Yours must be well over a 1000!

 

Either I’m on here way too much or you’re just a dick!

 

Both.



(you did good at avoiding that answer)

 

I liked this post.

 

You’ll never catch up to me @TartanEagle !

 

You could be the new and modern "Chad's Pride Likes This!" poster...

 

Well f@$! that! I’ll have to change my ways!

 

NO don't do that.

Wasn't my intention to shy you away from a great gig. Everyone likes getting a "like". Keep it going.

 

If you get the time, I would love to see your front and rear mounting locations for the lights. I'm putting 8 on my truck when the weather gets a bit nicer and I think I know where I want them, but would be nice to see options! There isn't too many threads out there on rock lights being mounted and wired up.

@AmateurTaco1313 you as well, I think yours look great! I'd love to see the mounting points of the lights

 

Power washed and this happened



Damn New England

 

What????

What type are those and how long have you had them?

I'd take them off and power-sand everything and properly re-paint so that wouldn't happen.

But then again...power wash is intense! Was there caked-on crap in those areas where the paint chipped off?
