michael,

Dan, at American Toyota quoted me

Part# 41201.80189 for $560.17 price shipped. If you want overnight you'll have to pay more.

 

Mike, holy cow!

I was completely unaware that our suspicions were correct.

Even if you can get gears, you will have a long and slow trip home. The shop has you by the sack and there is not much of a way to get around that.

 

This sucks!

any news???

 

Sorry to hear about this one. I'll see what my dealer has on offer tomorrow. Have you already got the new gear and pinion??
Can you rent a truck at uhaul or something and doilies to tow it back??

 

ok, here is the poop: after 6 hours of pay phone time, i was able to locate the gears in georgia. they are overnighting them to moab and i will take them over to grand junction, co to get them installed (hopefully) under warranty. if not under warranty at least i will have the leverage of the dealership to go after the (alleged) bonehead that installed my locker (allegedly) incorrectly. lance found the part # 41201.80189, $634.89 was the price quoted to me (thanx victor, but dan at american did not have any in stock -- wish i could have gotten his pricing). with the ~$100.00 shipping and around $3-400 labor this has turned out to be one h3ll of an expen$ive trip! assuming, of course, warranty does not kick in and i somehow lose the court case with the locker installer...

thanx all for the love!

 

Sounds like Randy's Ring and Pinion to me. I hope you get this taken care of. good luck man.

 

Good Luck With That! I Have Not Had Good Luck W/ The Above Mentioned!!!

 

my dealer didn't have stock, says it will take a few days to get so no use. hope you get sorted, keep us posted.

 

Thanx all, the parts are on the way. BTW: it is not Randy's.

 

hehe, Then there IS a good chance your shop will come through. be glad it's not Randy's.

 

Ah dude,

That really sucks. Im glad things are working out for you. Seems like a quite expensive trip.

How long have you been gone for? Come home dude!

 

See what happens when I don't spot you?

You guys are cool doods. I'd like to wheel with you more. I'll take you to some hard stuff. You'll like it.



We'll wheel again.

 

... ...

 

good luck, michael!

 

:monkey: :monkey: :monkey:

 

what's that? a monkey eating his own by-product?

 

Someday you'll wheel. Someday..............................

 

ok, no hi-jacking the thread w/ill-making...

the parts arrived this am and i am off to grand junction, clank-clanking all the way (it is so embarrasing to drive down the street...). i will keep you posted.

again, thanx for all the love

 

Good luck Michael. Hope the install goes well. I guess you have to take it easy driving home afterwards to break in the gears properly?

 

nope, I never will since I will never be able to make the pilgimage to Arizona. I'm seriously considering selling my over-modded rice burner now.
