Does a factory warranty mean alot to you?
well im about to hit my 40k on my rig and all the talks about lifts....gears....etc. sounds very tempting. I do have the extended 60k bumper-bumper, 100k mi Powertrain Warranty. and the mods would void these warranties right? what would you guys do?

I have also pondered the same ? on my 03 xtra-cab 4x4.The way I look at it is this way,if you lift your truck/runner & say the cv's go then they probably won't fix it.But if your transmission goes or the alternator quits how can they say we aren't fixing it because you have a lift??I've never really bought into extended warranties because I figure if it hasn't broke by 60,000 it probably won't(but that is just me).I'm adding a spacer lift to mine soon & I will only have maybe 5000 miles on my truck by the time I add the lift.I suppose if something breaks I'll just put the stock stuff back on & take my chances(I know what a PITA).
Of course when we bought my wifes Chevy Venture used (30,000 mls)they threw in a ext. warr.& we have used the s*** out of it.The warranty that is!!

the truck actually came with it because i got the truck that just got off a lease at 12k and it had the Toyota Cerfied Used Car warranty. I'm just gonna try to get new Bilstein shocks when i get new tires...i dont think the type of wheeling I do justifies a lift yet but it sure is tempting

Those are the best ways to get ext. warranties "free".I read somewhere that ext.warranties are one of the biggest $$ makers for dealers.As far as the lift,I really don't want to go that rte. either but I got a set of almost new 32's on 15x10 black wheels sitting in my back room just itching to go on my truck.I just need a lift to get them to fit.

Warranty paid off big for me. I had the S/C installed on my 2000 4Runner at about 3,000 miles. Since it was a dealer install, the factory drivetrain warranty provided full coverage for the S/C for the whole warranty period (5 year/60,000 miles).
The nose drive started howling about 53,000 miles. Took it to the dealer and got an entirely new S/C installed under the warranty, meaning No Charge.
Warranty is gone now, ready to get going on my mods!

I've done so much to my truck I don't even bother asking if any work is still covered under warranty.
