    The odds have increased significantly that I know who is responsible for that and I’m looking forward to harassing him about it lol

    4 on nights 3 off. 3 days 1 off 3 nights 3 off 4 days 7 off. The issue is you rarely get those 7 due to call ins and these are all 12s.

    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck that noise. That's just unhealthy. When your circadian rhythm gets thrown off by an irregular schedule it really messes you up. Mentally and physically.

    Not quite. Baja assembles only double cab trucks. Texas makes all configurations, including overlapping what Baja does.

    At least with a month in between you have time to acclimate to the change. They say it takes about one day per hour to adapt. With 14/14 you're never done adapting. That Dupont schedule is an occupational health lawsuit waiting to happen.

    Have you been to San Antonio? JK.
    I felt safer walking around downtown San Antonio at 3am drunk than I ever would in Dallas.

    Like I said, just a thin strip that goes from tail light to tail light under the plastic piece you step on and you can bend it by hand. :rofl:

    The 3rd Gen rear bumper is a total fail. Designed to obliterate itself at the slightest contact with the ground and you’re back at the dealer :spending: for more (incredibly expensive) plastic junk.

    I would get the dealer to give you the cost of them fixing your mismatched bumper in cash, then spend it on something real.

    I was just outside having a smoke, the construction of the rear bumper is definitely a bit...disappointing. I figured there would be a real steel structure behind those plastic caps, it is a pickup truck, not a car.

    My '15 was hit while parked last year, the steel bumper saved the corner of the bed from major damage. Bumper was dented and bent, had to be replaced along with the taillight, but the bed only needed mild repair. I don't think this bumper will do that. Bummer. Down the road a real metal bumper may be purchased. For now I want a matching cap, it's a new truck.
