Stolen taillight - more expensive than you might think

They can't build houses fast enough for the Californians moving to Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and Idaho.
Are they going to turn these states into open sewers too?
Quit voting for progressives.

Colorado already a lost cause.
Still hope for Wyoming and Montana though.

New vehicles are highway robbery in every direction. If you think about it long enough it will drive you crazy.

A little unrelated but my Lariat with Blis has a small crack in it from a rock.

I wanted to replace it, I don’t think I will now if they are that expensive!

The left taillight on mine has a hole from a rock or something else, I found it after I had the truck about a year. I looked into replacing it until I found out what it cost. A piece of red tape is covering the hole (about the size of a nickel) until I hit the lottery.

Yes they will. Read the Book Devil's Bargains for details on how every one of these states will drive off the locals. It is about tourism but the economics are identical.

The BLIS system in the taillights does make me nervous about some off road trails where a smack on a rock or tree could end up costing a fortune. I didn't think about it, but a Jeep "friend" was "kind" enough to point it out.

There should be a law if you flee a failing blue state for a red or swing state you can't vote for 10 years so you can relearn normal behavior an vote appropriately.

I’ve seen taillight protectors for Jeeps, does anybody make a decent protector for the Ranger that you know of?

Not that I know of but it would have to not interfere with the BLIS or else what would be the point? There might be something out there. I'll admit that I didn't research and instead just don't drive where this could happen. I know, I'm pathetic. Nothing I haven't heard before.

I suspect they could be after the cameras.

It’s just about everywhere now. Cameras is about the best protection you can get if they alert you. Otherwise….

Just a few days ago I was sitting at a Whataburger waiting for my curbside order, and a guy in another Ranger pulled up and told me his were stolen to the tune of a $3,800 repair bill, and his insurance agent said that's becoming very common.

I know not everyone has a choice but whenever I see these issues with people getting parts stolen off their cars I always think about all the people that have garages and don't garage their cars. The first thing I did before I bought my Ranger was to clean out my garage so it would fit. It surprises me how many people in my neighborhood that have $30k+ vehicles always parked in their driveway and when I drive past if they happen to have their garage door open they have what looks like about $100 worth of junk filling up their garage.

I don't know maybe it's just me. I prefer to get rid of the junk, or move it some place else, donate the boxes of clothes I have not worn for years (or got to fat to wear haha), and park my car in my garage.

Author?

After reading the description, it’s much more of a book about Trump and Bannon… partisan, political… count me out!

That is why I asked. there are several similar titles by different authors.
