Oh, I wouldn’t do you that way. Expect an airdrop in the spring.😆 I’m sure Kent, @Radioman , wouldn’t mind sharing.😆
This a burden I have been carrying for sometime now. Oh, the troubles I endure... Just trying to convince Tracy (and others) that there is no good reason for green peppers to exist except maybe to throw into the compost pile.

Wow, that’s a huge difference. Does the original quote have them removing as many parts as the dealer quote?
Yep... R&R bumper , taillight, wheel opening and bedrail cap... and 4x4 sticker ...

So I stopped at the Ford dealer today and got THEIR estimate...

More than double ???
And I went over EXACTLY what the other shop was gonna do and they agreed (i didn't tell them how much other shop was )
Actually it's even $100 more because I just saw they forgot the 4x4 sticker ...
Might as well just total it, thing is barely drivable as is.

The transmission is definitely shifting funny now, AND the engine oil smells like gas ??? Plus I noticed the tailgate just "drops" now instead of slowly lowering... also the rear of the truck seams much higher than before as I can barley reach into the bed now , a quick tape measure shows one side worse than the other but I will bring all this up with the body shop and my insurance agent, Mr. Asmodeus...

I did clean her up this evening, I know they gotta take the rear bumper off so I pressure washed really good underneath to limit falling debris in somebody's eyes 👀 ( I hate when that happens!!!)...

I wonder what my rental will be 🤔 ? They know I'm dropping off a Ranger so im curious as to what they think can possibly live up to that and.keep my interest ??? There may be some drama if I feel slighted...which I already do...

I'd actually be ok with that... aggressively driving my weiner through traffic , coming to a screeching halt right before "rear ending" the Tacoma in front of me , sounds like fun 😁!
