Would of just bought it and took it elsewhere and had it painted lol. Dealerships gonna be a stealership lol. Had said flare painted from another incident cost me $80 lol and amazing job done but that was in Jacksonville where I was working at the time, But I’m glad you found an alternative instead of spending $500 lol and that dealer quote was in Tacoma WA where I was working which is stupid expensive lol.

If you thought Tacoma WA was stupid expensive, don't come to LA...
Out here everything is stupid expensive

I got to hang out with a twin today. My buddy picked up a Jeep with the same power plant as I.
Currently working outside of Oxnard lol so I know the feeling lol can’t wait to see sub $6.50 gas again lol and everyday expenses that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Yes everything is more expensive nowadays but these west coast prices are absurd. Thankfully I’m heading back on the road tomorrow lol.

My dad has an old tire changer in his garage that we have used for years, but only on steel wheels. Believe me, if I could just do it myself I would, but I don't have the proper equipment. With the new machines and plastic shoes, my concerns aren't with the tire swap. I just don't want someone running an impact wrench on my stuff and scuffing it all up. I'd rather not have an issue to "rectify" to start with. Same reason I change all my own fluids and other regular maintenance. I just don't trust anyone to care as much as I do.And yet you trust them to swap tires on your painted wheels?
A good shop shouldn’t have an issue. Just make sure they’re aware of your concerns prior to them starting.
Any time I’ve had an issue after, they’ve come good on rectifying it.
Even to the point of replacing one of my wheels!

I read about that issue of keeping things up front that are too tall...I think I am going to put a tension rod across the bed to keep things from traveling too far forward. As far as the ice goes...I'm in Southern California...I don't think I have too much to worry about in that department. LOLI have that on mine too. I love it. Only two issues so far. One, if something is in the bed upfront, you can't really open it. Not a huge problem, I have one of those long reach rods to get stuff. Second has to do when ice. Mine froze with ice last winter and I couldn't open it. Had to put the 55 gallon drum in the back seat. At least it was empty and clean.

I like the chrome. Plan to keep mine.
Definitely add in the cost to have clear protection film on that front bumper. Painted bumpers on these trucks do chip without it.

That cover looks great!
Is that the Platinum or Limited? Seems the only difference is the finish and warranty.
How do you like it?
Have heard the negatives, but I have the Mopar bed divider, so I could put it at the point where the cover stores itself.
Wish I saw these before I bought my trifold. Love my trifold, but these covers are awesome. I may try to sell mines and get one of these. They also offer flat rate shipping to Hawaii at $99. Thats so awesome!

Soooo, how does it run? Does it feel like it was worth the effort, or do you need to update the tune still?
Question - Do you think the 6.4 manifold would fit with etorque?

Today's the day! Borrowed my dad's truck and dropped off my wheels and tires this morning. Then severely cut my pinky on the way out the door. Only I could catch a finger in a door frame hole when leaving an office.

I thought about it, but I already had it bandaged and the leaking stopped. I was just trying to avoid stitches ha. I'll tell you though, when a sharp door frame grabs your finger, it gets you to stop in your tracks immediately ha.

Thank you! It is the Limited...Wanted that texture, and the quick ship. I felt both of those on top of the warranty were worth the extra cost. I love it so far...time will tell.
