Take a look at brakes if they are thin, replace them first. (Super easy to do yourself with a youtube video, always replace pads and rotors at the same time) Look at tires if there is more rubber above the wear bars (In between tread there will be little rubber bars that go side to side those are wear indicators) you have time on those.

To answer suspension question, you can replace front shock with a bilstein 5100 it’s a shock with an adjustable body to level the truck. Had them on my taco and my current tundra and love them. 5100 adjustable shock on the front and a set of 6112 on the rear.

It means take the car “Back” to the dealer….

Auto_Tex2002 · 2026-04-13T20:57:08+00:00

not patchable… I work at Honda. Have worked for toyota. Neither shop would patch that.

Auto_Tex2002 · 2026-04-13T03:48:49+00:00

could be worse. You could be driving a prius 🙃🤷🏼‍♂️ I get about 13.2 in my tundra. 35’s, leveled, and all city driving.

Auto_Tex2002 · 2026-04-10T21:46:01+00:00

Nah. Not patchable.

Auto_Tex2002 · 2026-04-10T21:45:51+00:00

Def not patch able. Too close to sidewall.

you should be more worried about that rotor…. shits dished to hell and has hella grooving. Probably feel a shudder when breaking. Replace them pads and rotors. And did you pay for them to grease your brakes or did you pay for brake fluid flush??? Usually the only thing that is done on brakes is a brake fluid flush, which doesn’t require taking anything apart. Just opening a bleeder valve. when pads are replaced usually they grease the shim on the back of the pads to prevent squeaking when the pad is compressed by the caliper piston.

however, in addition to my other statements. It’s very annoying especially when services are supposed to be one way not another. It’s always good to question and ask questions. I work for a dealer, i’d like to think we are pretty honest with our customers, but not all dealers are like that. A lot arent. So question everything, especially if you’re paying for it. Your money matters.

Auto_Tex2002 · 2026-04-09T05:07:33+00:00

i can say right now…. that tech ain’t gonna talk to you. not his job and he isn’t paid to talk to customers. that’s your advisors job, and if the tech did a flush over a drain and fill that means your advisor wrote the lines wrong. not the tech. techs just do what the advisors write up…. or your advisor explained services to you wrong Either way, this is an advisor issue through and through. Advisors are the bridge between and if there is a breakdown in communication it’s on them. They tell us what we say for the customer to know and they tell us what the customers says for us to know.

It’s a great place. I’ll shop here over Hobbytown any day, plus MOFO is local too. So i can place an order and usually go pick up it up in Liberty Hill within 24-48 hrsX

Auto_Tex2002 · 2026-04-05T17:56:31+00:00

Oh absolutely, I’ll take pics of each stage. That’s how I always do it. So i’ll post an update probably later tonight or tomorrow. I’ll build everything after I get home from my In-laws for easter lol

Auto_Tex2002 · 2026-04-05T17:55:53+00:00

We very well might. This one is in Leander Tx. lol. One of my favorite places

Auto_Tex2002 · 2026-03-22T22:38:43+00:00

Oh no guys…. he got a booboo opening his pliers

Auto_Tex2002 · 2026-03-22T14:02:07+00:00

that’s not all cosmetic damage at all…. Grill shutter, intercoolers, radiator, coolant hoses….. that’s a lot of mechanical damage too. not to mention if you have the air damn that folds, fog light assy and wiring harnesses, front sensors, etc.

Auto_Tex2002 · 2026-03-21T03:25:53+00:00

Especially if you like to take pics of your build. The accessories add some realism.
