    Truck in the shop for a few things...
    1. Noticed Water leak and mold in rear of cab. Out of warranty so filing a claim with Toyota service. Hopefully covered.
    2. Fitting new BFG 265/75/R16's on my stock rims.
    3. Fuel pump recall
    4. 45k service, insisted on oil change even though not scheduled.
    5. Alignment

    Update:
    6. Adding TRD Pro Shocks
    Still in the shop. They have to bring in a 3rd party to certify that any signs of mold are gone

    No question, just 5 potential discussion points if anybody wants to chime in. Forum pretty lame lately.

    How long will it be there for? I'm curious to see what they'll do about your fuel pump recall issue.

    * some tacomas have been sitting at dealerships for months now just because they are on the recall list

    Seems like there were some cases of the rear 3rd brake light leaking water.
    That may be the problem?

    Did you buy your BFGs through the dealer or did you bring in your own? If you dont mind me asking how much were the install and alignment?

    About $950 with alignment and N2 filled instead of compressed air. N2 much better. At the dealer.

    Now there's a wrong point. Take a breath. You just sucked in 78% nitrogen! Unless you are racing, you just wasted monies.

    Not mention, reducing PSI offroad and reinflating with good ol fashioned air.

    Included in total price. Tires leak less and last longer. No internal oxidation. Read up on it. Not my opinion. Fact.

    I asked about the fuel pump recall for mine a couple weeks ago & the SA said Toyota doesnt have a fix yet. I heard the dealerships in Las Vegas started replacing them & are super busy

    I hate when my aluminum wheels rust from the inside out.

    If you go offroad, even forest service roads, I'd highly recommend reducing air pressure. You'll get a much smoother ride (shockingly better), just make sure you have a pump to air back up.
