Bed Sides Rock Chip prevention

SDjefe13 · 2024-07-17T03:19:33+00:00

Just curious if anyone else has noticed or heard of this issue. I got my TRD Off-Road on June 1st. I went to my suspension shop on 6/14 to get the Westcott pre-load collar installed. My mechanic called me back to his shop 30 mins later to show me that the passenger side CV Boot had failed and the truck was flinging grease everywhere. I took it to my closest dealer here in San Diego and they agreed the boot had failed. They ordered the part and said it would be in within 2 days. The 2nd date push moved the ETA to 6/25, the 3rd date push was to 7/03, and the 4th date push moved the ETA to 7/15. As of today 7/16, the service department told me now Toyota has told them the CV Boot Kit would arrive sometime in December of 2024. Has anyone else heard of this issue coming up?

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone has found a good solution to preventing rocks chipping the paint on the front of the fender bulges on the bed.
The new body lines are awesome! Just have noticed chipping on the front.
The chipping so far is pretty minor and can’t really tell in the picture because my truck is dirty. But this is the region I’m referring to.
