I think the dealership stole my off road suspension. I had red coils and little red accents on my brakes.

Can confirm the picture above is 100% accurate. I thought it was my picture when I was selling my OEM ORP suspension! :)
THE WHOLE PART IS THAT ISNT MY SUSPENSION!!!!!! MY 4 RUNNER HAD UPGRADES THE DEALER DID . THIS ISNT WHAT MINE EVER LOOKED LIKE THATS WHY I AM FREAKIBG OUT AND MY ENTIRE CAR WAS TUNED TO WHAT I DID HAVE ON IT . THE WHEELS AND THIS THEY PUT 4 NEW TIRES ON MY CAR FOR WHAT REASON????? I HAD NEWTIRES. I DIDNT ASK NOT PAY NOR IS IT DOCUMENTED . WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT BUT THEY ARE BIG ENOUGH TO NOT BEABLE TO SEE WHATS BEHIND THE WHEEL. THEN AGAIN I HAVE DASHCAM WITH AUDIO. ..... BUT NOONE WANTS TO GO BY THAT SO....THANKS GUYS. I KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO FROM HERR

Are you saying you paid to have the upgraded suspension installed by the dealership when you purchased it? And then when taken in for service was switched back to the OEM suspension?

Because the Offroad Premium comes with bilstein monotube shocks and black coils.

So the OP sounds like she got upgraded TRD Lift kit suspension (pic for reference) from the dealership with regular UCA, hence the $67k price. Stock ORP trim should be around ~$62-65k.

@iknowhatudid, Do you have any proof?

You are way too emotional right now, which made you sound incoherent & no one will take you serious.

Orp comes with bilstien shocks and a plastic skid plate. I have heard the fox shocks rode kinda rough and people don't like them. Perhaps the mechanic swapped out his with yours? I would talk with a lawyer at this point. Bring in your original sticker for the vehicle to prove your case.

I felt that they had a duty of care. As a toyota dealership. My autistic mind couldnt make since of it because this was a place that things like this didnt happen due to ...... uuuummmm i think it is called Bailment. When the dealership accepts your keys and takes custody of your vehicle for service, it becomes the bailee and owes a duty of reasonable care. I gave them an easy way out i confrunted them directly i didnt care if they said i did it i just wanted my car restored. I work with people with cofnitive distortions so i felt like asking it to be restored was nice of me. I offered to sign a nda as well. They have taken it to this level and even said to me can u proove it ....... so...... my mind took it as a challenge and i wasnt stopping u til i did. I have everything i need i just couldnt find the part number , i tracked down the salesman (even though he does something else, and he is getting me the dealer add ons. Now i know the part to look for in all of these papers. Thank you . I feel at peace now. Calm now If litigation becomes necessary, I will seek all damages available under Texas law, including up to treble damages if knowing or intentional DTPA violations are proven. They had an opportunity to resolve the dispute before this becomes necessary. Just cause my mind works different doesn't mean people can take advantage of me. Funny thing is I switch off emotion very quickly once I do t feel overstimulated. Thank you for giving me that peace. Now. I will be taken seriously now. Thank u for the advice as well . I'll let you know how it goes. I am organizing my evidence folder and going up to the dealership. You were correct by the way and I just found it in the papers. It was right here the whole time. I just didnt know what it was.

I have real evidence and my original paperwork window sticker i have dashcam footage of conversations and movements because I have a very inticate ikon hardwired to my battery. It has a digital printout of all movements. They have an answer for everything. I know what happened........ I was trying tonkeep it out of court . I still have a life and a job and court takes time. I dont want to drive something thats unsafe. I have evidence ..... I also may hypothetically have witness statements........ I am ready for court. I just know it will fuck people's world up. With court comes media........ than the criminal charges against the people ........ than if they want to include people who knew about it and helped gaslight me. Than they will have to award me my damages 3x. ..... I just want my car back to how it was when I drove it in their. I have a video of that its from my driveway camera with the wheel wells visible. I am not posting my evidence on this forum. Thats not smart. I posted what I did for input. Its a strategy. So thanks for everyone's thoughts. Oh let me know if anyone's finds out why on jd power my vin comes up as a white polar ice sr5?
I checked the VIN: JTEVA5BR8T5176664 that's in his post and it's a 2026 4Runner Limited in transit to Florida.

:rolleyes::cautious: sounds too crazy to be true
I know it does. But it isn't. Thats the whole thinking behind the people who did it. Noone thought I was a paranoid autistic person who works in the legal profession so she assumes people with fuck with her on a daily and put things to make sure she could prove it. Who knew that ikon gps would come through it measures when the ignition is tuned on it says everything and then the telepathically that are always transmitting from the car in general. Asking for them was a bit rough but they cant deny you them. So once I got my hands on them plus asking for the internal dialogues from smart choice and Reynolds and Reynolds. I mean cmon ....... they should have gone with my first request. Now I am emotional too much fucking time on this shit .

I don't understand how you have that much rust under your vehicle so quickly. Those pictures look like an older model
