I am such an idiot!!!!!! No seriously I am!!!

A pic of the whole side of the LC:

It is kind of funny how the truck looks perfectly good..EXCEPT for that one door ;p

dtt255 - I love your 'cruiser man. Do the suspension mods affect the warranty in any way?

It only effects the warranty of the items I replaced.

The stock coilovers etc. would not be covered. The kdss and the rest of the suspension is still covered.

 

[macneill]

Ouch! That's not going to buff right out!

 

[dtt255]

Well the damage from 2 places is an average of $1750.00

The new door is on order and the truck should be ready by Friday end of day ....just in time for a weekend road trip!!

While back. I backed my 98 SC400 with the driver side door open and forgot about the steel post and f***** up the pillar. I feel your pain.

 

[dtt255]

We are hoping the pillar is fine. On the surface it looks that way.

It seems to be all the door...nothing else.

THe inside panel, the electronics, and the main window all seem fine.

The only thing we are not sure of is the actual door handle. He doesn't know what is behind it to know if it would need to be replaced or not.

Holy crap! And folks give me s*** about my Nevada pinstriping on my 'old' '99!

 

[spressomon]

I was there when Spressomon hit the eucalyptus. Huge tree, you could see it for miles. However, Spressomon running into it was completely understandable. There are no trees in Reno. He did not see that one coming.

Anyway, the antenna install looks very cool. And who's to say, in the future you can reuse that bracket for a 2m/70cm antenna.

With friends like this, who needs wife and kids to tell on us!

Update on the progress.

Well dropped off the LC today and happen to see another one in the same shop being worked on. It looked like a 100 series, maybe an 80.

Got my rent-a-car, Pontiac Grand Prix.........yummy.

I love rent-a-cars....can beat on them all day long!

 

[dtt255]

HOLY SHIZ!!!! You are not going to believe this......

Are you ready?!?!?

Sit Down!!!!

The auto body shop just called..... main toyota parts just called the dealership to inform them that the right rear door shell that they ordered for me, is on................
(scroll)

























NATIONAL BACK ORDER!!!!!

THEY HAVE NO CURRENT ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN THEY WILL HAVE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MOST LIKELY WILL NEED TO BE ORDERED FROM JAPAN DIRECTLY!!!!!!!!


I am just going to cry!!

This has got to be a first!!!

 

[owenjam]

Now that sucks!!!!! I will call my yota parts girl, she can work miracles, and see what she says. Good luck.

 

[owenjam]

Part does not appear to be on back order according to my parts source, but she did say I would have to order it to find out for sure. 98% of the time she said if its that hard to get the computer will tell her however in this case it did not indicate that. Dealer list is $696.59 wholesale cost is $522.44. Just thought I would pass along. Again, good luck!!

 

[dtt255]

Well here is what I have found out so far.

When an item is out of stock in a regional warehouse it is then sent out to all the warehouses in the USA and desingated as on 'National Backorder Item"

So after an afternoon of searching they seem t have found the 3 parts in different US warehouses. So we SHOULD be getting all the parts by friday. Now we wont know if they are really in stock till tomorrow.

I guess the orders don't update until the nighttime.

Keeping my fingers crossed!!

 

[owenjam]

Thats exactly what she told me so you did get some good info. Boils down to no way to track how many people order the same part at any given time and day until system "re-sets" overnight. Parts guy should have called in the order or done "off line" to ensure you get it.

Not really...do you say "ewwwwwwww" when you see a dog licking themselves or just shake your head knowing that they are doing only what they know

 

[dtt255]

Well here is the latest update.

The door is in at the body shop. So is the piece of glass, but the seal around the glass is not. It should be in monday or tuesday latest.

All three parts came from all around the country....Wheewwww....that was close, I was very worried for a while there. Should have it back 3-4 days after they start!
