I cannot tell you where their quality has gone
! I will tell you that I am in correspondence with a man by the name of Gary Quirola from Toyota of North America. I don't think that I will get anywhere with him though. One thing that I am sure of is that Toyota used to make a quality truck. I just wished I would have gotten one of the better one's! I will say that I put a 3' Toytec lift on the front of my Tundra after having both outer tie rods replaced and it looks great. Of course, looks doesn't keep a vehicle on the road!
