What did you do with your 4runner today?

For those who don't know, I was hit by an out of control shuttle bus, I swerved out of the way, but not far enough to avoid the hit completely. Here's the before

They did a nice job overall with the body work, however I have several complaints, and will never do business with that body shop again. First of all, they left my truck sit out in the rain for almost 2 weeks and never covered the tail light area where the wires come out from the interior, even after me calling and asking them to address this. I am not sure yet if my amp and sub were damaged by the water, but this is how they returned them to me... A grand worth of equipment thrown in the back like garbage.

Even funnier is that they replaced my sub enclosure with a brand new sub, amp and enclosure, even though my SR5 isn't wired to work with the JBL amp or sub, so it's not plugged into anything.

But either way, I got a new sub enclosure out of the deal, because 1 of the brackets was broken during the colision, totaling 2 that are now damaged. Either way, if anyone wants a brand new JBL sub or amp PM me as I have no used for them.

The other annoyance is that my rear window no longer works with the key or the remote. I am hoping that I just need to reset the rear ecu, however the shop manager mentioned something about missing a component, which it had from the factory so I'm not sure if they lost something or just don't know what they're talking about.
I would say the shop isn't done yet. It has to be returned to preaccident condition. That is garbage they didn't hook your stereo back up Or ensure your rear window works. Time to go back to the shop and makes me the think you might need to go above your adjuster as that is horrible quality and customer service !

Sincerely,
Former body shop assistant manager
 
Got my CB out of the red on the swr meter. Turns out I didn't have my washers set up right so I was likely grounding out on the mount. it's at 2.5ish across all channels right now (was damned near 4ish before) in the driveway surrounded by houses so I just need to find some empty space so I can try to dial in my firestik.
 
In the past 48 hours-

Front pads
F/L caliper
E-brake shoes
Toyo Open Country A/T II tires
Trans fluid topoff (2 qts down!)
Oil change
R/R sway bar link
Title, registration and sales tax paid

Not a cheap past couple of days, but all necessary.
 
Even stock, I bet she would climb a rope if I would let her. This was at Buffalo Springs Lake outside Lubbock, TX

Removed the rear PS side spacer thanks to the help of a fellow forum member. Then drove around the countryside in the beautiful weather. I really with I had my D800 with me.

My Friday treat, is getting to take the Runner to work and out of hibernation. So naturally I get excited leaving work and walking out to it as opposed to my daily driver.
