What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I agree and I will but I think I should wait until I get the new one. Also it will be important the outcome so both sides are known. It could have just been a bad employee that saw it was used and in bad shape but shipped it anyway.I’m trying to give them the benefit of the doubt but regardless I will let everyone know.

 

I called the dealer and also took pictures. They were very cordial and told me to send it back and they will send me a new one even before they receive the return when ups shows they received it. They also credited me my 70 dollar shipping fee. I did ask in the email I sent when I saw what was sent to me if it was normal practice for them ship a damaged return. When I talked to them on phone it was not brought up again and so the email reply wasn’t answered . I was more concerned with getting it rectified and it appears it will be .

 

Thank you and it appears they will

 

That’s awesome! Keep us posted.
Edit: Just saw the previous post

 

Thanks Brother !

 

I sat it over and over, working in a lifting environment. The insur

hows the wife’s arm ?

 

Dissolved

 

It also makes the waterproof coating on a tent gooey. You can’t win. Annoying mozzies and ticks and getting eaten alive or dissolve any synthetic material around.

 

Sorry brother, that crap sucks. Sunblock ruined my Highlander door trim. Hey at least if you get new door panels they will look new for about a day, before they scratch with you just looking at them.

 

Finished up my motor swap, and got it fired up for the first time. Chasing down a handful of codes, hopefully its just bad sensors, the ecu stuck in limp mode, a ground I forgot somewhere, or something else silly and not actually the timing chain off a bit as I found that this junkyard motor has been torn down before.

 

Bought my 2016 in 2018.
Being new to lifts I automatically installed the cb spacer.
While doing the lift I noticed a wedge under the leaf pack. (Truck always had a faint vibe that the dealer disregarded). I have this feeling those wedges weren't supposed to be there.
After the lift that faint vibe got more noticeable.
After bouncing around this site and finding out more about d.shaft angles, A couple days ago I removed the cb spacers and the vibe is completely gone from what I've seen thus far.

I'm thinking the truck was possibly lifted prior to my purchase and removed before resale but the wedges remained. Was driving around with incorrect angle this entire time. My lift made it correct, again but the cb spacer that I automatically put in, threw it off.

 

Yea that’s the crazy part. Reading comments on here and Google. It’s crazy that with all the damage that it causes we put this stuff on our bodies all the time. What are the effects over time of stuff designed to be put on skin.

 

1 inch toytec bodylift. Almost ready for 35s.

 

This was a huge issue in my VW Touareg after a beach trip. Pull the panel, remove all the switches, lightly sand it with 400 grit and re-dye the pieces. Buy vinyl dye. Dry overnight and reinstall. Your issue will be finding a vinyl dye to match, so you may end up doing all 4 switch housings for a match.

The other option is to replace the piece.

 

Yea, I am thinking gonna have to replace. I was thinking dye or paint/dip but I know I would stare at it every single time I drive.
Off family care smooth and dry is out of the beach/boat bag. Just looked at the bottle and the main ingredient literally bolded is deet. Need to go on a crusade lol.

 

Looking good! How was the install?

 

How are you liking the amber covers ? Sufficiently function with covers on ?

 

Damn!.....

 

Added some reto-ish graphics to break up all the satin black wrap that I had installed to cover up Toyota's crappy paint that was fading already after 5 years.
