What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That is what I have on my truck and it's amazing for quick and mess-free oil changes

 

Sure, the store most likely has cameras. What if someone was standing in front of the camera? What if it's a bad angle? There goes your roof, it's now on you. Why put yourself in that position?

 

New tires today, up to 285/75R16. It’s subtle but I feel like this should have been the factory setup.

 

OP asked for advice...

so I presented him with a possible solution which I have experience with

anyway, I hope the OP finds resolution

 

Stock Pro lift? Looks

 

OK, I'm saying management of a big corporate entity is going to tell you to prove it. It's his job to keep costs down. He owns the video. OP needs to learn that this kind of thing needs to be addressed immediately. There is very little goodwill in business when it comes down to costs. That's life's harsh reality.

While it's likely something that can be buffed out, the manager isn't going to open the store up to the possibility of a tailgate and paint job...because we've all seen the assholes that will turn a situation into that.

 

you're wrong here, they will take his information & statement & open up a general liability claim for investigation

I've been involved with this process with this company.

The OP has options & its not too late, though I wouldn't wait more than a day or two

 

Today was the 85K mile oil change! I continue to love the simplicity of the Havoline 6qt container. I know it’s not for everyone, but it works for me.

 

Nay, Eibach spring upgrade in the front and Stage 1 RXT leafs in the back. Roughly translates to about a 2” lift

 

Blah Blah blah Blah,,,,IS THE BIKE OK???!!!

 

Changing bed rails to accommodate both Softopper and Thule racks.
Made OK progress on the swap from steel to alu. IT was hot and muggy. so I move slow.
Lots more "fettling" to be done. The rack will be shortened to just over shark fin height. The rack pieces will be able to be positioned almost anywhere along the bed rail length.
Fun getting out the A&P tote box, It's been 40 years.....;-)

 

where is this

 

do you work for this company?
asking for a friend.
thanks pardner

 

Use coupon code "thismakesmerich#12" when you order ...

 

is oil changed every 10k?

 

Dry fit MX4
Seems to fit somewhat. Pulled it back off. Tomorrow I will apply black Permatex under the rails and front panel then reinstall. I didn’t get the drop down brackets with it to my dismay. But I’m not paying 3+hundred for them so this is what I got to work with.
I won’t even go into the clustefuck rail system I got but it’s a 2 piece (each side) clamp deal using the existing rail that hinders the cleats positioning. Nothing like any of the install videos I watched. And zero literature in the box. I’m going to call Bak in the morning to figure out warranty and all that jazz. So yea I got something I’m dealing with but I’m stubborn and will make it work. Or I’ll get totally pissed and send it back. I chose the MX4 for the ultra low profile and use of the OEM rail. There’s stickers and bumpers barely held on by glue that I’m going to have to fix. Weather stripping that I ripped off because it looked like a 12 year old applied it. The driver side front corner tab is ready to fall off. So far I’m not impressed with the QC at all. This takes the cake in no fucks given and I’m still undecided whether to make it work or shove it back in the box and send it back.

 

Looks well used.

 

I believe they changed the mount design a while back. I have the X4S and don't recommend it. Lomax trifold or shell imo.

I still prefer the look of the MX4. I’ll get er dialed in

 

Looks very different than mine. I did need to replace my first lid after hail damage and the replacement looked as if it was built by me first day on the job. The hinges had gaps on the side among other things. I called and sent pics of the problem areas and the lid serial number and they took care of me right away. The replacement was just like the original in quality and far superior to the second. Good luck with your call/ email to customer service.
