Platinum Plan
The Platinum Plan started to payoff, the following are what the dealer repaired or replaced:
103k Replaced both front CV boots
103k Replaced rear axle seal
104k Replaced both front brake calipers
122k Replaced both front XREAS shocks and coil
129k Replaced the XREAS system with FJ Off Road Package coil and shocks. The dealer or Toyota VSA wouldn’t allow a straight swap and they would only replace what was on the 4Runner. SO I told the “service advisor” that I will buy the FJ parts and when the NEW XREAS arrive just put them in the back of my T4R, and install the FJ coil and shocks(that I provided) instead. It's a win-win for the dealer as the (1) “back end of the business” will get paid. (2) They do less work as it’s easier to install FJ parts so they pay out less hours for labor. (3) Service Advisor gets a nice commission as XREAS replacement is a big job and although his commission will be from Toyota, he’s more than happy to help. (4) I get free labor on FJ part installation which is what I wanted, would have been better if Toyota VSA would have given me the parts as part of the warranty. But I’ll take what I can get.
130K Replaced Sway Bar Bushing, both front Stabilizing bar as well as rear Stabilizing bars. Again this was covered under the Platinum Plan so I paid nothing.... or Paid when I bought the truck (depending on perspective)
133K Replaced Power steering REPLACED PRESSURE LINE and replaced power steering fluid.
