Very few from dealer. Didn't want to end up with more than $2500 in the truck. Paid $1400 for it from the salvage yard. I am right at that $$$ now, with mostly Rock Auto, Amazon, etc. Part purists can bash me, but it was simple economics. And most were not functional part anyways, just body. Functional parts I do sometimes get OEM, just depends.

I am closer to $4000 in the green one. Probably a little too much, but both drive and run great.

Wildernest. Has a tent built into the roof.

Don't bother; it's old tech. A PITA to set up and far inferior to any current RTT or wedge camper on the market.
