Dang.... the tires say they'll be here tomorrow. Too bad I can't mount them tomorrow. I'm getting cortisone shots in my shoulders.



Weird it says two pieces.... I had to get two different sizes (18X9 and 18X10 wheels) so I had to order them separately.

EDIT: I was just thinking. This will be free wheels, and essentially free tires.

Part of the estimate they sent me. Can you refuse this? I'll see what they say. I agree, should get the original OEM quality only.



The 214 was for the hood repair. It's dinged and smudged up all over. Doesn't look terrible, but it def won't rub out.


They did this estimate on line, Had me walk around my truck with the camera describing what happened and damage areas. Man, I wish that branch took out the mirrors, they're the wrong ones and do not work right. Dealership screwed on those when purchased. Nope, just the windshield and hood.

If it is a Carlite Soundscreen, you 100% want an OEM replacement.

EDIT: I'm not sure what happened here, but the bushing slipped over the washer.... that also is smaller compared to the others. It looks like it wore down thin, which doesn't make sense.

Whitey, have you asked about PRP/PRF treatment? From what I've been told and have read, cortizone is a short-term "band-aid," and used long term can actually be detrimental vs. PRP and PRF (which I've had twice now) which promote healing.

Example: https://emergeortho.com/news/prp-shots-cortisone-shots/

Not sure, Dealership gives one price for 2011-2016, $392.63. And has, - Not For (Cads Packages, Lane Departure Warning System) in the description area.

Pretty sure those didn't come in these until 2017. Those are $926.16. And requires sensor calibration with a windshield replacement.

I know they're going too call in the morning to see if I accept. Perhaps I can get Safelite to install the OEM windshield instead. I'll go along w/that. Might as well just have the dealership do it along with the body work.

Guess I'll have to see what we come up with tomorrow.

So both Gene's are in that one. Great actors, I bet that movie is as well.

Brew: If you like other Mel Brooks movies and that sort of humor, you should love YF!
