I read the "25 thou service cost" as 25,000 as well as what it cost to fix the truck.

Hope that if you decide to fix it, it isn't too much.

ohhh... no no i meant 25,000Miles; till now the truck cost 750QR ($205); 150QR ($41) for alignment and 600QR ($165) for the Service and retorquing/allignment of the bed.. I'm expecting a decent bill for the body work; ill let you know how much the whole thing turns out to be!!

oh and "07DCwhiteSR5," i'd watch what i say bout ranch hand infront of Rock, he takes that bull bar seriously

Ya thankfully hardly anything effected the structure.. i am so impressed that i would like to send Toyota a letter expressing my appreciation!

Thanks Guys

Dear Toyota,

Thank you so much for building me a truck that I can fly. Landing is a little rough and caused me to break an aftermarket part but the truck held up quite well. I am impressed. Thanks again, and feel free to arrange for me to shoot a TV commercial for you, you know, to show those Ford guys how a wiggly butt Tundra is beneficial when subjected to extreme abuse.

Call me anytime for a photo shoot, just give me advance notice, things are usually a little "up in the air" around here.

Sincerely,

Tundracrashlander

Do they import tundras in Qatar. I am in Dubai and Toyota dont know if they will or will not service it.

OK-guess I'm gonna have to be the bad guy here...

First off, 3AM on the beach doing 70 mph? If you feel like driving recklessly, do it alone, not with 4 other people in the truck. I understand you did acknowledge that it was reckless, but when did you realize that, after you came to a stop?
I'll be the old man and say your lucky you didn't kill anyone, if you did I don't think you'd be bragging about it.
As for the damage to your truck, given what you did I'd be happy that's all that happened. Doesn't sound like any cover short of a soft cover would have survived that impact.
So, how is your friend doing that got hurt?

COOL!!!!!

Reminds me when my buddy and i were in his Tacoma heading back to a party and desided to take the trail back which is a logging road used by 4x4's, quads, and dritbikes. Well a few too many beers might've influenced his driving since he wanted to see how his taco handled the trail at 40mph. We were hauling along when we came around a corner and there was a small hill in front of us that we could'nt see over but it was too late to hit the brakes. Deffinately went a little airbourne and when we landed the only thing that was broke was his windshield from my beer bottle flying out of the cup holder. We both busted out laughing over that one. Drove it back and parked it for the weekend. During the week he called his insurance company and got the windshield replaced but claimed it was broken when he came out of work one day. Good ole Toyotas!!!!

Well; we arrived at 12am n were intending on staying till sun rise barbequing but a freind had to leave urgently and we were in a hurry!!! - I was the first car up; reckless it was but yet again i was on hard land and didn't expect something that bad! - Besides i wasn't in the best of moods because i wasn't up to the trip in the first place n my freinds dragged me along n then had to cut the trip short!
Regarding my freind, hes okay he was just B***ing about it! He said he wanted to take me to court loooool!!
Dude these things happen and yuo learn from your mistake.. Thank god everything we were okay.

ANIMAL10: They do not import them, i bought mine from CO when i was down there and shipped it here w/me! Regarding servicing, nearly all parts are the same as the LX570/Landcruiser and sequoia! - Dunno about Al-Futtaim (UAE Toyota Dealer) but our local dealer services the truck and orders any parts not available if needed however you need to pay 5000QR/$1370 in order of entering it into their database (as if it costs that much). I service it alone or send it to a local service center that work on landcruisers and the likes! - Not a big issue if your willing to let go of the warantee!!



ICON.. LOOOOOOOL; now you guys were lucky pulling such stunt under the influence

[cooter2]

Tundra handled it like a champ, it would have broken the camels leg.

[animal10]

Thanks dude. I dont think AF want the job anyway all they said was come in and have a chat.

[Gutz]

Crazy story man...That sucks!! Time for a whole new paint job, a custom color...

When i installed my DT LTs; i was in the UAE and wanted AF to connect it to their Techstream and they refused to take it in since it was an american spec.. i actually got p'd off and had an argument with the Supervisor since i wasn't from the UAE and they are the dealer i should resort to in case of a problem but they did not care whatsoever.. so im guessing you're right.. they probably aren't interested!!

Gutz; i have soooo been debating on repainting the truck lately; blue streak on black but i dont wanna loose the factory paint.. as garbage as it is but at the end of the day it IS factory.. sent it to the body shop today to get it done and they're charging $350 for both dents and an all minor dent i had from before!! - Guess its not to bad...

This is a whole different lifestyle with which I am not familiar with.

Very entertaining!

I know this is a Tundra forum and all, but if you plan keeping up this 3am jumping thing, you may want to look into something like this.

LoL... if you said the new Powerwagon ram 2500 then i would've given it a thought but a Ford with their 310HP 5.4L wouldn't reach a speed in time to cause any damage

I think i will pass and the TRD Offroad package along with Toyota's solid engineering proved it could take on the worst of conditions.. no need to be purpose built; its a 'yota!

[rockstate45]

Those Raptors are right. I can't wait til 2010 when they put in the 6.2l
