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

Love seeing clean installs like this. Nice work!

 

Thanks I appreciate it. I take pride in everything I do, this kind of stuff Is a huge hobby of mine. Id love to be able to make a living doing stuff like this

 

looks good..
is your 4R lifted, level spacers, cab chop? I want to do 285 but not sure on rubbing etc etc..
if so I'll stick to 275s from stock size..

 

It’s actually stock right now. Probably gonna be putting the Eibach pro springs on soon.

 

any rubbing in reverse full lock..?

 

Very slight in reverse on the passenger side on the fender liner. Keep in mind the pro comes with fox springs and 1” lift and the bumper and fender liner trim already from port.

Bought Mama a new 2022 Limited so now I get to start pimping out the 16 Trail Premium...First order was to eliminate all the rock and road rash from the last six years...Bed Liner accent was a no brainer for 1/3 of new paint prices...

 

Interesting. Would you mind sharing how much that set you back?

 

My friend is in the business & we did a handshake deal for 2K. I am impressed as to the detail of the work done. His desk lady is hunting the perfect bull nose for me tomorrow. My blind arse needs more illumination up front!

 

any removal of overhead console or true plug in play adapter for dash cam? thanks..

 

Find me a set and give you a finders fee. Thanks!

 

Lookin' beefy! Can you feel much difference in the way the truck drives/handles/accelerates between those and the 265s?

 

Feels the same to me. I went with the 6 ply load range c and not the 10 ply e rated because I wanted better road manners and comfort. So far so good!

 

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)

 

Today I dropped my 4 runner off at the dealer to have the front differential replaced for the needle bearing issue, and to argue about the steering wheel shimmy issue at 60mph+, to have alignment checked since all 4 tires were not balanced properly at pick up...if you can’t balance a tire can you do a proper alignment lol? And to argue to have my oil change done early before 10,000 miles. My service advisor sucks & if he continues to be a miserable rude asshole someone will be getting talked to.

 

What do you do for a living?

 

Work to hard to deal with BS on a brand new vehicle.

 

goes straight into back of rear view mirror. Easy peazy

 

If you want service every 5k miles you have to pay every other oil change. Toyota covers the 10k and 20k oil changes. That's what I have been doing, there is no point in arguing about that.

 

I think we all work pretty hard to afford the vehicles we own.

I'm guessing your dissatisfaction has more to do with the fact your advisor was doing his or her job and not because he or she was a miserable rude asshole. I guarantee if that person was, they wouldn't be working at the dealership.

 

I think you would be able to have more say in my case if you were dealing with this one particular person your self...I deal with customer service at my current job and I try to be as friendly as possible even if the person on the other end is being stubborn or dumb. I have issues with my new vehicle as posted in other areas of this forum & the service advisors should have open ears and try to help in this case, instead of blowing it off like it doesn’t exist. He didn’t spend $48,000 on a vehicle with issues, I did. We are in a world now where places are struggling to fill positions & they are hiring anyone with 8 fingers and a breath...another thing I see at my place of employment.

 

And I spent more than a few years managing a service department. If you treat customers poorly, you're a goner. It's that simple.

 

It would appear, someone wants to argue here. Certain people DO have attitudes, or, simply be having a bad day. It cannot always be policed. I've run into it myself.

 

Cheaply mounted mic and made a little tab to keep the pull off the connection with some kydex

 

Yea I’m sure the thousands of dealers are all ran like clock work to the T to the exact same standards...not. In my case I am costing Toyota time & money since this is all warranty. They don’t like that. I am sure if my vehicle was out of warranty and I agreed to have every single item serviced at my cost and there commission & mark ups attitudes would be better. Or if the guy is just a dick who knows it can be the same way. Either way he is unprofessional and At the third trip dealing with shit since purchase on 12/23/21 to now and only TRYING to enjoy the 920 miles I drove my NEW ‘known to be perfect’ vehicle I am not being the most jolly person while dealing with incompetent people.

 

I'm not arguing. Far from it. It just doesn't match what I know from my experience in the industry.

 

With all due respect, you are generalizing based on your own experiences...fair to say?
