I hope that when it's fixed they can make it stronger to stop it happening again.

Rob good to hear the guys at the dealer have been good so far and sorry to hear that you have developed cracks, I was talking to the dealer I bought from a couple of weeks ago and I asked about non genuine accessories and the warranty(didn't mention what accessories just asked in general that they didn't automatically void the warranty but had to cause the problem) and he said they had just been sent a picture of a 150 with cracks and a steel bar and said something like that and you are on your own. I hope for yours and everyone else's sake that that was just an agents opinion and not a directive from Toyota Hq. Fingers crossed for you that its sorted out quickly.

Cheers,

Lets see wether they say "sorry sir but you have aftermarket suspension in there which has caused the cracking"" what you reckon ?? I hope for your sake not, other wise it will turn into a legal shit fight. Then I would be posting it all over acurrent affairs/today tonight. Maybe see if there is any one else out their that has cracks but with standard suspension will help your cause if they use this excuse ?? Be prepared so you can fire back straight away at them........Cheers Steve

Guys......
Well.... went down to the Toyota Dealer today to find out what can be done..... Well, so far the guys have been good, but it will come down to what Toyota Aust HQ have to say. They said they have never come across this before and didn't know of anyone else experiencing this..... surely Toyota Australia would advise their ALL Toyota Dealers throughout Australia of "out of the ordinary" issues, etc that customers have experienced, especially if they all have Monthly &/or 6mthly meetings as they say they do......
Re: Car
They took photos, noted what extras fitted, kms on the speedo. Took it around to the panel shop for their Panel Beater can have a look and give a quote of repair costs......
The hope is that this is not going to be a long drawn out process..... few weeks to a month time span was spoken about, but in the end it will come down to the Toyota HQ guys and what they think after they inspect it.....I expect.....

Watch this post..... hopefully with a GOOD outcome...... that's what I'm praying for at least

Bugger!..I assume this is the drivers side, I thought the previous cracks were on the passenger side or have I got my sides mixed up?

Yeah.... I had only read about cracks on the LHS..... Looked there 1st and all was good, a little voice in my head said have a look on the RHS.... I did, and it's all gone to poo from there.... My faith in Toyota at this moment is at an all time low. Not sure what I'll do if Toyota decide it's not their responsibility...... I suppose I then hit up my Insurance Company then......

I "did" have plans to keep this car long term...... now, well there will always be that doubt or concern in the back of my mine on the next outback trip that I what to do..... I suppose I should just wait and see what Toyota say b4 I get too carried away, but after forking out all that $$ when buying our 1st NEW 4WD then for this to happen...... I'll just hold my tongue for the moment and say my prayers
