    Toyota can produce a hell of a great new car smell on the inside though!

    And now the camshaft sensor issues are trending. But a rear cam sensor leak may mean a big disassembling job and the last thing one wants on a brand new vehicle.
    Not cool Toyota, better get your chit together :/

    Oh how the mighty have fallen :crapstorm:

    Good luck op
    Cheers!

    My ass was on pins and needles thinking they have to tear apart the heads and replace tons of shit , I got lucky ( hopefully) on the bolt needing sealer and lock tite , and only 300 miles and less than a week and half old , if they had to tear down the top end I would defiantly ask for a new truck or at least try too lmao

    Looks good, all that chrome bling, I just don't care for anymore.
    But I didn't just want the the black, I wanted the TOYOTA written across like when Toyota reliability made it the truck of choice around the world.
    So far my truck is working great and if it makes it to 250k or 13+ years without any major issues it will earn and proudly wear the name

    Cheers!

    Thanks bro, I found the old trd grille badges on Amazon, remember to the old ones that have the red / white slash marks and trd in chrome ? I think they are 24 bucks and attach with adjustable bolts frome behind that would be sweet putting one on, but the badge you have on your grille is awesome , reminds me of the old fj's from the 60s and 70s looks great man. And cheers bro !!!!

    I agree, humans are making products, humans are not perfect, machines are not perfect that make the parts, they make errors and tear up too, hopefully it`s nothing serious.

    If I was your id make sure Toyota still have you an extended warranty on their dime. I would say you want the reassurance because of the early failure. Why not
