Hi to all.
Ordered a new d4d gxl, have to wait till Feb though.

Has anyone been told, as I was, that any suspension mods will completely void your warranty? Due to Toyota having to many claims of chassis/body cracking with aftermarket springs/ shocks. Ta

Grunta, it would depend on what you were after warranty for.

I don't think you would have a problem if your radio gave up the ghost but in a suspension related area you might have a problem on your hands.

A lot will depend on your dealer. Some might help you out and others will not want to know about it.
When i worked for Toyota we knocked back various things for warranty work with, I think justification. Rattles in dashboards from people who had fitted aftermarket stereos and that sort of thing.
Best advice is be nice to your dealer when seeking warranty work (unless you are justified of course :wink: ).
May not be the "right" thing but it will get you a lot further than jumping up and down if you have fiddled with things.

Thanks heaps for that Strahan.
Might just be my dealer having a bit of a whinge. Rang another one, they reckon it will only create a hassle if suspension related components fail. Thanks again
