    Anything aftermarket besides the tires? They'll be looking for a scapegoat at the dealer.

    Really?! No one has asked if it was built in Mexico yet?

    I’m disappointed, This is a Friday thread after all

    Sorry to say, I think you'll have a battle on your hands. 4K miles, lift, wheels/tires, sliders. You gotta look at it from the other (dealer's)side too. There was obviously an impact. Pinning it down from several months ago @ delivery, to present, is gonna be a tuff case. Good luck.

    There a chance you drove some muddy water and got rocks up to the radiator?

    Unfortunately for OP, you are most likely correct. Once you sign the paperwork, body damage is your responsibility. Now, a really nice dealer may help you out, if you just got it home, or just woke up the next day, and noticed damage.
    I wonder how the insurance company responds, when you tell them you have damage, but don't know how it happened? I wouldn't tell them a story, that's for sure, I'm guessing it's still covered.

    Did someone jack up the front end when doing the lift and use that area? I don't think that was shipping or factory damage but was done later.

    OP probably tried jacking it up from the front of the skid, it fell and smashed the radiator and broken the plastics. Now he is just asking people what he could get fixed for free.. Notice the fan blade is right where the broken part of the shroud is at?

    My suspicion is there was an oopsy during the lift or tire installation. I do not see the dealer covering this.
