Frame rust recall

Got my truck back in one piece on Saturday. Added 5100's x 4 with front set at 0. OME 885's and Headstrong progressive AAL's on back. Also used 1/4" spacer on the drivers side for Taco lean. The recall leaf springs were installed with the frame replacement. With the add-on's I gained 2.5" in the front and 2" in the back.

I was worried that I might need new UCA's, but they got the alignment right on the money. The service rep suggested bigger tires..... I'm haven't noticed a big difference in the ride, but didn't get a chance to drive much over the weekend.

 

Still waiting on my frame to come in I think Ive got about another 6 weeks to get to the 3 months they initially told me. I want to do this exact same set up on mine. Did they install all your new parts for free? How much do you think you spent on the parts all together?

They charged an hour labor for the progressive AAL install. They would have charged to assemble the coils on the front 5100s, but i had them done at a tire shop for cheaper. I got the 5100s at a great price: all 4 for $250 from jet.com, found the 885's on Amazon for $165 (free shipping), and bought the AAL's (~$175), spacer(~$29), and shock components that were needed to put them together (top hat and washers, etc) (think they were around $80) from headstrong offroad.

If i had to do it again, I think I would start with a call to Headstrong. Maria can get you going with the right setup and probably get you a good price to get your coil overs put together. They are highly regarded here...for good reason.

 

Dude?!? What's up with those tires man? Embarrassing bruh.

Like taking steroids and not working out.

 

My trailer hitch looks like a ball of rust. They passed the frame, I argued that the trailer hitch could be considered part of the frame since it is the mounting point for the rear bumper. They didn't agree

 

More like skipping "leg day"
...looking at upgrading..thought this was a free frame replacement.

 

Service Adviser surprised me when he called today to say he is moving to another position and passed a new contact as I wait for my frame replacement. The majority of the parts are there, waiting the frame. It's been 60 days on the estimated 90-120 days.
I've also received the parts I've ordered: steering rack bushings, drive shaft center bearing, and three U-Joints. I'll also have them replace the AC Compressor since the clutch squeals for the first 20 miles on humid days (I live in Central Florida, every day is humid).

 

My experience wasn't so great.... I'm getting a steering wheel shimmy when I slow down.... even after this argument...

Nice video! Props for keepin ur cool! Lady was a fucktard!

 

What dealership replaced your frame? I took mine to get inspected on Feb. 6 and they said it would be 2 weeks until I got my new frame. I got a text from the parts manager that they are looking at 6-8 months now? This is in Charlotte NC.

 

the guy that said 2 weeks was talking out of his ass

 

I feel like I'm getting a lot of that from Scott Clark...

 

my guy said the same thing.. 3-4 weeks... plan on 6 months. anything before that is a bonus. if you contact toyotacares they might be able to give you an estimate on when you frame will be in. if they do have a date, factor in a couple of weeks from that date for delays.

 

Yeah I pretty much knew "a couple weeks" was not going to happen. Where are you located?

 

Took mine in at the beginning of march and they told me that it'd be 3 months. They put me in a freakin Hyundai Elantra for a rental car, and I was furious. On top of that, I called them back about a week ago and they are now saying it could be the end of the summer before I get my truck back. THE END OF THE SUMMER!!! I'm 100% foaming at the mouth, PISSED off. I'm also working construction this summer, and the place I am living requires a truck or SUV just to get down the driveway. I've called Toyota and the rental company, but somehow they can't get me a truck to drive. I'll never drive anything but a Toyota purely because they are the best-built machines for being awesome that ever existed, but I'm not a happy camper to say the least. Now I will say, props to Toyota for paying for the rental car. I'm not trying to sound like a whining baby, but it's really their fault to begin with.

 

WUT

 

go to the top and demand a truck. serious. they will hook you up. call toyota cares and if they don't help, email the north american ceo. you'll be in a truck by friday

 

Welp, I'm an idiot and forgot about the deadline. I inspected my frame in December and could barely find any surface rust. Was going to take it in for inspection in March, ended up buying a house and completely forgot. Any word on extensions? Any luck with 'I didn't get the recall notice because I moved' type excuses?

 

Good luck with that buddy.

What part of the country are you in?
