I had my first oil change (first for me, the truck had 17k on it when I bought it), when I got home there was oil all over the frame etc. Anyone that sees my truck should know that doesn't work for me. Very disappointing from my dealer. Should it be that messy?

BING BING BING... We have a winner! As everyone knows our spare tires are mounted with the valve stem up. This possess a problem if you want to check tire pressure. On more than one adventure it has been necessary to utilize the spare (rock pinches etc.) so I never leave home for an adventure...
