Re: Engine Bay Body Rips
Funny how you all ripped me for jumping mine and bulging the inner fenders and now it seems to be a common problem area!
After getting it fixed from the body shop, he said what caused it was the front frame horns were tweaked up a few mm's which forced the crumple zone to give. Mine was a bit more extreme in that it also shoved the front quarters into the door causing rubbing since the quarters mount to the brace.
Funny results on the polls! It seems the front frame horns are more suspect to bend than an off-road bumper that replaces the horns. Sans damage, I plan to add the Fab Four front bumper.
I guess when Toyota finally fesses-up, I can get my $50 insurance deductible back! LOL! Not a bad price to pay for $3300 of damage I guess. I just wished I had video of the launch!
By the way, good luck with Toyota on this. They pretty much told me if I was off-road my warranty is void. Real nice policy for a rig shown crawling the Rubicon in their own damn ads!
