Both Tail lights broken with holes from rocks

I put rough country 1.75 leveling kit
Then I installed Dobson 3” rear springs (heavy Travel trailer squatting truck)
I then put 35x12.5 Nitto trail grapplers for rubber .
The factory mud flaps were all getting loose and falling off I removed them . They looked odd any way .
both of my tail lights have been hit by rocks on the inside of light cause if moisture damage and failure .
Dealer wants 1000$ for each light .
Any recommendations out there ?
Desperately need tailight but do not want to pay 2000 on lights .
Bottom 18” of truck also had bedliner installed as paint was not holding up like my last x3 Toyotas . Also had to replace 4x4 switch - dealer says coffee caused damage

I had a Toyota trifold tonneau cover that came with truck also it flew off on the highway and I now has bent front corners .
I like my 2022 tundra sport but after all the good tundras I’ve owned this one has had its problems

 

Damn, those are pricey! Here’s a solution that has worked well for me in the past..

 

was your tonneau up in the folded position when it flew off, or the closed flat state?

 

Any pictures of the back of your lights and damage from the rock strikes?

 

Wait a minute... are you saying the wheel well is open all the way to the tail lights (on the inside of the bed panel)? So the splash guard is the only protection for the tail lights - even though splash guards are typically just to protect lower rockers/panels. Or is the dealer just trying to dodge honoring warranty work?

 

And the clear shot of the installed tail lights from the inside of the wheel well?

 

Don't get it??

 

So now we actually found who had a cover come off. Details?

 

Same question. This is the first report of this actually happening that I have seen here. Curious about what was loose or what failed. Especially since I will be on a road trip next week.

 

If you’re willing, buy an aftermarket on Alibaba. For the price, they are semi disposable.

 

I have not reported it . But yes it did come off for me I didn’t notice until I got too where I was going and it wasn’t there

 

You can see the wheels through those holes where the lights go . And yes dealer refused to help with anything saying me adding big tires + no mud flaps

 

The lights look new from behind the truck how ever they don’t work as moisture got in them

 

It was closed

 

I’m from a Alberta Canada and I’ll warn anyone about Red Deer Toyota has one of the sleaziest dealership managers in the industry . I drive an 1-1/2 hours to the next city to get my vehicle serviced to stay away from those vultures

 

Ohhh....thats concerning LOL . Still aint taking it off.

 

It was over a year ago but I wanna say the bolts just rattle loose . So lock tight or double nut you’ll be fine

 

I do t have any recommendations for taillights but I just replaced my OEM mudflaps with WeatherTech. The front ones were removed when I put my tires and lift on due to significant rubbing. I replaced all 4. The original ones are too flexible. The WeatherTech flaps are rigid and do away with the inside part of the front flaps where the rubbing occurs. They are a little wider on the inboard side compared to the stock ones. The set is $99.

 

Thanks.....I already did the locktite as soon as the recall happened

 

Wait so you’re telling me. Your cover flew off the back of you truck and you didn’t go running to Toyota?
Did you go back and get it?

 

Dang that sucks

 

Unfortunately no , I have already fought with them about 4x4 switch and taillights and they will cover nothing . No point . Yes I got it back it bent on the top corners

 

Maybe urethane foam, hard to say without looking. It would be easy to remove it if need to gain access, plus it don't add weight.

 

What about all the trucks that don’t have rear mud flaps? This doesn’t make sense!

I wonder what removal of the front flaps will do? Does the floor fall out?

 

I like the double nut suggestion!

 

I’m concerned as well!

 

Removing the front mudflaps unlocks the 3rd turbo that’s behind a paywall.

 

$400ish per light from Sparks Toyota. Your dealer is smoking crack if they want $1000 each.
