3rd gen Tacoma hood misaligned after off roading

Nah bro I’m sober from everything for about 3 years now

 

Four things come to mind:
1. Congrats on three years.
2. Are you sure it wasn’t always like that before and you just noticed it now?
3. There are no other lines that appear to be off in that one photo.
4. If it’s anything, I would look at the forward body mount first. A few members on here have posted problems/pictures with creaking/rattles up front those bushings. Maybe the bushing split and it moved.

 

It’s probably been like that since it left the factory. Mine has a gap where the lines of the fender meet the hood in the same spot vs the driver side, where it’s smaller. And I didn’t bottom out anywhere. Probably just more aware of it after the fact.

 

Ooooof. Yeah kinda surprised I haven’t done that to mine yet. Friend of mine was following me same speed in his TRD Off-road Tundra, slammed his shit so hard the skinny part on his shock broke off and the shock body was resting on the lower control arm. He drove it back to camp and towed his trailer home the next day as it was and didnt realize 2” of his shock was missing until leaving to work Monday morning he noticed his truck leaning LOLLLL got it repaired under warranty too! He told the service advisor it says OFF-ROAD on the side and that’s what he did so they covered it LOL fucking crazy

 

I don't think I could ever sleep again after something like this.

 

Yeah as others have said it may well have already been like that and you just noticed it now cause you were looking for things you possibly messed up. I wouldn’t sweat it.

 

TW "sofa mechanics " have been warning about the consequences of the spacer lift

 

Lol ended up being a shifted hood all I did was loosen bolts and re align

 

Good thing I no longer run spacer lifts
& this is what happens when u get off the sofa and go wheel

 

Ended up being just the hood shifting to the right. I cracked the bolts loose and realigned and it’s as good as it was before

 

Hood shifted. cracked bolts loose and realigned and now as good as it was prior

 

Nah hood just shifted. Cracks bolts loose and realigned. Ditch light brackets may have had something to do with it or lack of torque on the bolts

 

Weld the hood-bolts in place now.

 

I was thinking about it. Maybe weld + red lock tight

 

Exactly what it was. Fixed now

 

Good job man! I'm glad you noticed before it caused any permanent damage.

 

So the broken strut was not from your truck?

 

Yes before I put coil overs on it, but that’s not the point of the thread

 

What did you have before? Leaf springs?

 

What do u mean ? that broken strut was replaced with eibach coilovers
