[Toledo FJ]

I wasn't being too serious about denting your fender. I can't imagine you'd want to do that anyhow. I have a slight dent in the area in question that I think was caused by a careless tech during the CAI instal. It is almost invisible, but I didn't want to take any chances with bulges. So I had it documented at the dealer as a possible early bulge just to be careful in the event that I actually do develop bulges. I agree with NYCTRD. I think this problem is eventually going to effect many vehicles. It is clearly an engineering flaw, so it will be widespread. Keep in mind that the vast majority of FJ owners never open their hoods, don't stay informed about vehicle issues, and probably wouldn't know how to spot a problem even if they did see it. I love my truck and I'm keeping it forever regardless of if it bulges or not. I don't even know if I'll bother with the repair if it does happen. If it doesn't impact the safety or overall integrity of the vehicle I may just say **** it. Once the fix is available, I can always decide to have it done and it will be covered because of the early documentation. Gook luck everyone!
