    My dealer just quoted $468 for the 2015 style running boards that you can get delivered to your door, without tax, for $290 online. The parts guy looked at me funny when my shorts fell down around my ankles.

    if you look a little deeper, you can find those spacers for about 50 on ebay. I still cant believe people will look at those prices and fall for it. Get charged for kings and get donut spacers.

    Beyond the rest of the stupidity...can someone explain to me how a TRDOR4X4 that appears to not have any of the upgrades like JBL, Blindspot monitoring, moonroof, etc. has an MSRP more than my 16 limited 4X4 with predator tube steps, and tonneau cover,and bed extender....and in NC which i donlt think has the same price hikes that CA has?

    What the heck is "vehicle theft registration" $299. Is it like a tax? Or LoJack type thing? And windshield protection for $799. So that's like $30 in 3M glass protection.
    Sold! I'll buy a fleet!

    I think the windshield is probably that acid stuff we were talking about earlier.
    And the Vehicle Theft Registration I'll bet is the same as the 'Laser Etch Vin' I saw earlier in this thread...

    Different names, same rip-offs.

    I will say Groove in Denver is GREAT! They sold me my truck, I just got a basic bitch tho. RSG Offroad on Colfax does all their work. They generally do the Toytec Boss 2.5 w/ AAL, Black Rhino wheels and toyo tires, i honestly believe their markup is fair, 7k for 5k in parts.
