    Fortunately those scuzzes didn't then try to bill you, seen that one too many times to the point where sometimes we have to step in. Had they sent in a denial from anywhere else showing it was done in time it probably would have been taken care of

    That’s awesome! We did Magic Kingdom yesterday, Animal Kingdom today, Hollywood Studios tomorrow. We’re off Thursday, just local stuff at the campground, then start back Friday. Enjoy your time down here, looks like a perfect week for it!

    It was some company out of Maine. They have an online portal that you can access with information from the bill, so I tried sending them messages through that so I had something from them in writing to back up the process later. They never answered those, though, so I had to call them every time and got nowhere with their call center people.

    When I talked to surgical pathology, they seemed surprised that a patient figured out how to contact them. I had to dig pretty hard for that phone number, admittedly. Fortunately, they had a contact with a brain within that billing company so it was worth the contact.

    The thing was only like $150, but as soon as I saw that bill I knew someone messed up somewhere and I wasn't paying it on principle.

    Many times I have seen the patient get billed even though they shouldn't (unless they didn't provide the insurance numbers or something similar) and I've had to step in on their behalf.

    I recall one person whose bill was sent incorrectly and he said "okay, I've told them if they don't correct it I'm not paying it so we're good"

    Two piece slotted rotors for the brake refresh. Listed for FJ but should fit the factory 16s on the Taco - 323mm. SOS says they'll fit.

    My ‘13 has never broken 20. Its best is 18 and change. The gas gauge will drop going downhill with the engine off. 4.0 - power of a 4 cyl and the fuel mileage of a V8.

    I miss my ‘96 Cummins. 1000ft-lbs 25 mpg. All except dropping multiple trannys… :rolleyes:

    I've been running without the bed shell or the bodybag of recovery gear/tools the last couple days and even consciously driving for mileage without holding up traffic.... Whopping 0.7mgp difference over two tanks which is well within the regular variance I get just from different gas.

    I think the aero from the shell must offset the weight.
