What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

flagged your account as “dont do anything stupid with the customer”.

 

The difference is, I live in Illinois and Costco is in Missouri.

 

Ha! I wondered when you posted that if you were somewhere near enough to a state border to do that.

When we travel to Cal, the price change at the border is mind numbing. I can't imagine anyone in Blythe Ca (4.90-5.10) isn't buying their gas in Ehrenberg Az (2.90)

 

Hold down track and mat install on the rear deck today. Decent temps for some garage time

 

This is part of why I rarely have any interaction with dealership service departments. I've only had mine in for a fuel pump recall and even then I was nervous about it. I've had a few times in the past with wife cars but have generally left unimpressed if not out and out irritated.
But this is why I hate to see it creeping in to Discount Tire. At least with them it's limited to wipers and alignments, and their not pushy about it either.

 

Just got my OEM parts from the most recent 25% sale at Sand Mountain Toyota in good order. They threw in a key ring which was kind of nice of them.

 

True story, although I was living in Birmingham, AL I bought my 2013 4Runner at Sand Mountain Toyota. Easiest new vehicle purchase I’ve ever done, those guys actually care.

 

Swift punch to the throat should be allowed if caught trying to defraud. Liars and thieves!

 

Or “this customer is on to us, no shenanigans with him”

...^^^... Much wisdom here grasshopper.

 

I don’t dislike dealerships.
I guess we are fortunate to have at least one that I know of in our area that I can trust. Been dealing with for years purchasing and bringing in for service and other than the corporate office instructing the service dept to have me remove all LED’s in order to proceed diagnostics because of what ended up being a bad throttlebody (even after I told them that was the code). They replaced said throttlebody the I put all of my LED’s back in without any further issues….. I blame Toyota corporate for that shenanigan.

I’m told we have some dealerships in the area that one would want to just drive past…
I’ll never darken their doors unless it’s really an emergency!

I feel for everyone that encounters such BS, Toyota owners deserve much better!

 

what behind grill light mound do you have?

 

Diode Dynamics SS6 with included brackets.

Auxbeam spot lights with home made / left over L brackets. Maybe from a bed frame or something.

Yeah, I think I’ll do my own maintenance. I have no problems getting under the truck and getting dirty. At least I know it’ll be done right.

Plus I can have my teen son help me; time for him learn and he can eventually do them for me.

 

I went to Costco to fill up on gas. We’re headed to Mammoth and this will be my 4R’s first long drive (5.5 hours).

 

yep teach them young. Did that with both my sons.

 

Don't challenge me. I will remain the undisputed King of cheap gas.

$1.62/Gallon

 

jesus! I had to drink 2 beers to calm down. Haha!

 

How did you gat a $1.25 discount?

 

I use my Kroger reward points. 1,000pts = $1.00 off. If I use my Kroger Mastercard to pay for the groceries and gas, I get another $.25 off a gallon of gas.

WaaLaa. $1.25 discount.

 

Hopefully we will all start to see $$ going down @ the pumps in the near future!

 

nope, up $.09 from last week. Now $3.29

 

Read what I posted!

 

i read it but i dont see it happening.

 

It will just not over night.

 

Had my mods on hold a long time. Updated the stereo with a sub months ago. Just got the sub working with a control nob a few days ago. Wife loves it so that's cool.

Its been a huge learning because its all software on the amps which is really interesting.

I know this isn't much of a post but im just bored.

Software looks like this if anyone is curious. Not mine, just off Google images.

 

I just paid 3.09 in hershey at sunoco.

 

Just had a new Road Armor bumper, warn winch, ridged light bar, and Rhino rock sliders, added yesterday!
