Looks like new. How does it run and drive? I'm always Leary when I've gotten a vehicle back from a heavy damage repair. Luckily mine was only deep scratches fixed in the paint from a blown semi tire.

Tracks straight as an arrow. I asked four guys in the body shop if I needed to think about trading and they insisted nothing related to the frame was touched.

I ordered a Bak Fibermax tonneau cover for my truck. I hate putting all my fishing rods in the cab everytime I stop to get gas or eat.

Got tired of the OEM antennae whacking the garage door sill, so I finally got a 13" shorty replacement at Auto Zone for $10. Seems to work just fine with the radio.

It's a confident man that trades his long antennae for a shorter product.

I took my screw out of town for the first time with my edge and without a load in the bed.

I'm not sure how accurate the avg. mpg reading is, but it peaked at 22.1mpg and stayed around 20.1 at highway speeds. Not bad for the 5.4 4x4 with 200k miles and mud tires.

Intake air temp temp stayed 2-3*f above the outside temp (according to the truck thermometer) at 55-65 mph. That's with the stock intake and gott's mod and k&n replacement filter.
