    Agreed, grill is crazy expensive. Sticking with my sr5 oem for now, but dang that would look sharp. I had an opportunity to get a mgm nightshade when I bought mine, but decided against it being a 5k difference for things I didn't need.

    That's a HUGE scratch. I would've lost my sh*t too. Question, did you do a walk around inspection with someone prior to them taking possession? When I got tint on my truck a few years back, Ziebart documents any damage on the exterior probably so things like this do not happen.

    Nope, didn’t feel the need to but obviously I was wrong! Still sick over it. Ceramic coating is on hold now until I can get this sorted out

    Always take pictures before you drop off truck for service...

    Added the AJT steering wheel covers and their red push start button with black ring, vent covers and “TRD” shift knob. Still have the climate control knobs and the 4x4 knob to go. Waiting on the Mesa console blackout kit. Went with AJT last time, wanted to try something different.

    And so the damage continues! Can’t find any place in this town that can work on your vehicle without damaging it! I don’t care if it’s body work, tire installation or even a simple oil change! Had a local shop put on a new set of BF Goodrich K02’s and they gouge my wheel! Never said a word to me about it. So much for trying to keep your vehicle from getting damaged. If you’re not doing the work yourself, you have no control over others working on your vehicle.

    P.S. I pull up and my gas mileage reads 14.2. I literally get in my truck to leave after tires are installed, start truck and it reads 13.8! WTF?! Truck has been nowhere but on the lift rack to install tires. Buddy keeps telling me, the truck already knows what kind of tires you installed and just went ahead and compensated for them. LOL I don’t know about awe dat!

    im really trying to keep smiling in spite of the truck getting damaged every time I get someone to do any kind of work on it. Only 800 miles on the clock. They say you can’t take it with you when you leave, and they’re right. <sigh> I’m still smiling

    Your mpg went down because they idled the truck for some amount of time for some reason.
    idling (like remote starting) crushes mpg.

    Thats a very minor wheel ding, but still sucks.

    Sorry your having really bad luck, always take pics and demand a walk around inspection before any service.

    That major tailgate scratch would have me ready to fight, maybe even lawyer up lol.
    Certainly blast them on reviews and social media.
    Report them to BBB also.

    It may not be their fault, you have no proof due to no pre work inspection but still not cool the way they acted.

    That makes sense about the mileage. Thanks. I guess I should change the title to “And So It Continues”!

    I live on the Gulf Coast, but will never forget my time in SoCal/Canp Pendleton. The women out there compared to here... there is no comparison. The folks here on the brown water coast lead the nation in obesity, illiteracy, and lack of dental hygiene. So people might spend less on items to live here, but they sure aren't using the extra $$$ to pay for dentistry, vegetables, or books. More like Natural Ice, mayonnaise, and Confederate flag merch made in China. If it weren't for all the people that want a return to slavery, this place wouldn't be so bad.
