Plans change.... new rig (1 Viewer)

[huddleston]

Bad things happen when I have the day off and and I am left at a Toyota dealership. Last week we dropped my 4runner off for service and I instructed the service advisor NOT to run my black vehicle through the automatic wash at the dealership. When I picked the 4runner up the paint looked like someone had handwashed it with sandpaper - it looked terrible. I expressed my displeasure and they offered to have it buffed at no cost yesterday. After a few hours I was still unhappy with the damaged paint and made a joke about trading it in on a new Tundra. At the end of the day I took the Tundra home and I have to say I am loving it. We'll be trading the Prius in on the refreshed 4runner coming out later this year. This does change my plans on an FJ60, I think instead I will be looking for an FJ40 as a weekend rig. The main question is who is riding with me to superlift this summer?

Nice looking truck! Should pull a 40 nicely when you get one.

What's the deal with the carwash at the dealership?? Why did it do that?

They send so many cars through it that it's actually really bad for the paint. Black is especially easy to see the damage on. The dirt stays on the pads etc and gets rubbed into the paint of the car as it goes through.

Nice Tundra! We just got a Sequoia and I LOVE the 5.7.

A few weeks back, me and my brother put an ARB Safari Bar and an M12000 on his Tundra as well as a 3" coil spacer lift and 1" diff drop. Looks great but it needs 33's now!

That looks great! The modding has already begun.....weathertech mats, HIDs, and a roof rack are on the way.
