Yes definitely. Not sure may be wrong but I think amts was doing the tally while vehicles were only still young ?? We need one with vehicles over the 10 year mark and who has been approved with what dealer. They could not give me a truthful answer today. And I asked him again just before I hung up with the shits, I said how come your approving some and not others over the 10 year mark that's all I want to know ?? Kept saying to me he couldn't pass on other peoples details as to why they were approved and the fact mine was out of its 3 year warranty period WTF. Probably been getting hammered by us. Well I'm off to another dealership again tomorrow and go through the same process.Face lift 150 Prado V6 auto. No mods yet

Steve, sounds like your getting the same response I got from toyota. Wouldn't comment on my "allegations" that cars older than 10 years had been approved and wouldn't budge on approving mine.Silver '04 KZJ120~Manual~GXL~Dobinson/Kings lift~Custom valved Ironmans~Detroit Locker~Endless Air~X9 Superwinch~Madman EMS1~TJM Dual Battery~Rhino Roof Tray~120W solar panel~Foxwing awning~Bushskinz UVP~Long Ranger water tank~Bushman fridge~Steinbauer P-Box~Beaudesert 2 3/4"~Airtec Snorkel~TJM Sliders~Prico Boost Gauge~BFG-KO2s~TPMS~GME TX3420~Front and Rear Cameras~Ultimate Camper hanging off the back!

I took the same approach with Toyota as Steve and Adrian did and got told the same.
They told me that 10 years was the cut off, but then when questioned why some over 10 years had been approved, they couldn't answe me.
Would it be worth one of us approaching one of the dealers who has had success in getting a 10+ year dash approved to see what tact to take?NOW FOR SALE!!! - 2004 Silver GXL 3lt 4spd Auto - ARB Bullbar, Safari Snorkel, Redarc Dual Battery System, Cooper ST MAXX, Dark Tint, IPF900XS spots, Raised Bilstein/Kings Suspension/Firestone Airbags, Autosafe Cargo Barrier, Sandgrabbers, Rola Roof Rack Stuff, Insect Screen, Dust/Wind Deflectors, Sheepskin/Black Duck Seatcovers, GME TX3510, ARB underbonnet compressor, Allied Hammer Rims, ARB UVP, [url="http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?18043-Rock-sliders-steel-side-steps"]AJ Sliders[/url]

Hi Steve, is your dash cracked through the front off the passengers airbag? mine also 2003 the one crack runs through the R in SRS.
As we were driving home last night my wife asked about her safety with these cracks in the event off an accident and the airbag going off with the damaged dash - how would it be affected?
Has the safety aspect and liability been brought up with Toyota in the case off the airbag not deploying correctly now in the light off they are doing vehicles up to 10 years - this is basically admitting the dash is defective in my book!

"In regards to your enquiry relating to the operation of airbags. A cracked dash such as that in your vehicle will have no impact on the airbag operation ie. airbag deployment will operate as designed in the event it is required."
I'm sure the lawyers will have fun with that statement in the event of an airbag puncturing and not deploying properly or a piece of shrapnel damaging one of the occupants in the event of an accident. I presume they believe the risk of a large damages claim is cheaper than replacing their faulty products.1997 petrol auto, 430 000km. Still going strong.

Yea mate I bought that up with them and all he could say was cracks won't effect deployment. I said do you have proof of that, mate yours isn't cracked over your airbag. I said no but I'm not just enquiring just about mine I'm talking about every body else as well that has cracks over their airbag. Will only be a matter of time before mine starts over the airbag.Face lift 150 Prado V6 auto. No mods yet
