What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That was some heavy duty stuff last night. The "hook" came right over our house and we had one gigantic hail stone hit on the roof... sounded like a concrete block hitting, then a sever hit on a window, which somehow didn't shatter it. Other areas close by where damaged more severely. Fortunately vehicles where in the garage. So goes the life in North Texas this time of year.

 

Geez, I can't tell you for sure but I think it may be much harder to dispute the charge for charges made on a checking/debit account vs charges made on a credit card. Either way I would also suggest you contact the company that provided the crappy service and tell them upfront that you want your money back! Be firm, tell them that they either give you your money back or you will file a small claims suit and a complaint with the better business bureau. Tell them you want to make it easy for everyone and you will give them 3 days to credit you back. Also let them know that you have dated pictures of the wheels as evidence of the poor work!

 

My covid projects . Rock lights - turned courtesy lights integrated on my cargo light switch ( key fob function opening doors and ON option) budget friendly you don't need to buy separate relay$$$ and harne$$

 

So how do wire it up with no harness or extra relay? Sounds interesting. I have some kc lites that I wanted to convert into courtesy lights too.

 

Had the fuel pump replaced today

 

Puddle lights in the doors WOULD be welcome . We have LONG winter nights, with lots of ice.

Audis have 'em, so should Tacos.

Audios Tacos.

 

Well, those chrome bumper end things didn’t last long. Day four, and I swapped them out for black.




I took the “bumper” off and performed the swap with the helpful guidance of Victory 4x4’s Strike Bumper Install Video. Many thanks to whoever pointed me to that; I can’t find your post anymore to name your name (damn this forum is huge). Anyway, with the helpful video I got the job done in just under and hour and a half. And it took me 15 minutes to find the release tab to separate the trailer plug. But nothing broken or forced. Everything back together intact. Unless you are an in utero surgeon or build ships in bottles, I highly recommend this method.

BTW, I got nothing against chrome. But my Offroad trim package was neither fish nor fowl. Just enough shiny to look out of place, like earrings on a hog.

Oh, I got the caps off of Amazon. Not quite as crisp as OEM quality probably, but not bad. $110 for the set, with exorbitant Tennessee Sales Tax. My black emblems are inbound.

You'll dig it. I prepped mine with scotch bright pads, wiped it down with isopropyl alcohol, several coats of etching primer and several more coats of bedliner. Don't forget to include the oil cooler relocation bracket (in the hardware bag) and the frame supports (if you plan on a winch) Shout if I can help.

 

Oh really...... That wouldn't by chance be in the morning would it?

 

Worth the effort to try. I would definitely do it ASAP!

 

Everyone who liked the post echos it

 

Got these bad boys today

 

I actually lied... emailed them today. They got back quickly and seem eager to fix the issues. Bringing the wheels back in tomorrow and giving them another crack at it. If the quality still isn't there after round two, I'll proceed trying to recoup my payment.

Seems this job was overpriced regardless, but that's on me. The damages/quality are on them, so hopefully they keep up their end.

 

Got her ready for the camping season again

 

that $90.04 processing fee seems kind of screwy to me

 

How?

 

Absolutely, no question. Get a refund if you can. This has to be very disappointing.

 

Nice looking truck! I'll keep an eye out for it. I'm over by Calavera Hills. If you see this truck give me a shaka

 

No dude, you have a right to be pissed. Are they local? If so, I would politely walk in and explain why you’re disappointed. A good business will do what they can to satisfy a paying customer.

 

Hopefully they're especially motivated when the customer is a rube who pays 3-4x the going rate!
