    Anyone interested in a 21" SR combo LED bar? VERY, VERY low hours. $100. Figured I would give you guys first crack at it before releasing it to TW. Let me know!

    Wouldn't recommend frame recall at all at this point. Terrible job done. over spray everywhere inside and outside of truck. all wire, grease fittings, connectors, etc... coated. spots not coated on the frame, no prep or clean up done. suspension components coated. going back to speak with manager tomorrow to see what can be done to resolve all these issues.

    honestly though at this point dont get it done. spend the time yourself and do it yourself. I used to use vht epoxy paint on my frame once a year to clean it up and wish I would have just continued to do so

    OK...... so after a second trip to the dealership they did the job right and fixed the mistakes and cleaned up all the over spray off and in my truck. Truck never looked better.

    BUT....

    Two hours after getting it back on this past Friday during the wind storm we had all day.... I was parked out on the street and a tree fell on top of my truck. The entire vehicle is scratched along with dent on the roof and the piece between the door and roof. windshield, hood, front fenders, all doors, bedsides, headlights and front bumper all need to fixed/resprayed.

    seriously thinking about having it fixed and selling my truck

    any thoughts? keep or sell?

    Well the truck is almost paid off so I'm in debates. I may try getting new fenders and bedsides from fiberwerx or a similar company which was my original plan and I was going to talk to Nwitaco some more about making a prerunner style bumper for my truck.
