I installed my tie downs over the bed rug and used the stock screws. They are plenty long to run thru the bed rug. I figure if somebody wanted to steal my Bed Rug, it'll now take them about 14 seconds longer.......

Had a estimate done this morning. 2057.10.

He said that the impact stretched the bed all the way up to the rail. Replace bumper cap, replace decal, clear coat, base coat, Hella Tailights, stone guard w/wheel molding, labor, and then a bunch of other little stuff on the estimate. Lifetime guarantee on their work including the paint. They came highly recommended. Little pricey but you get what you pay for, right?

I had him take a look at my hood too. It has what he called "aluminum's version of rust". Fix my hood, repaint hood, and repaint front bumper (front bumper has a bunch of chips and little rust spots), 700.00.

Very expensive phone call!!!!!!!

I would take it to a reputable PDR if yall have any in your area.. then just use some scratch-x and touch up paint, lol.. you might be suprised what you can do..

I had someone dent up my hood a few months back.. I just sanded down the area and painted it.. it wasn't perfect.. but it blended well enough. Then again.. I didn't want to spend $500 for a repaint on a small dent..

Looks like a battle scar to me, You got in a fight with the garage and it won. If it makes you feel any better my wife hit the front of my truck when she backed out of the garage.

Don't feel bad...I backed my Roush Mustang into a carport pole one night because I was too lazy to roll the windows down when backing up (dark window tint)

Got my rear bumper and exhaust tips.....I have yet to nail anything with the truck and hope to never. I've come close on some clearance in garages though

Well the trucks in the body shop. I told the guy I couldn't afford to do the hood and the bumper and he said he would do them both for 500. I didn't think that was to bad. They're going to paint my Hella tail light trim like I did but professionally this time. I told him I want them to look just like the truck, nice and shiny I'm also having them hold off on replacing the 4x4 decal. I think I'm going to see how they look off. One small door ding he said they would take care of and a small bend in the door where the wind caught it and swung it open into a brick wall

It's gonna be a long week!!! Especially driving my rental, HHR!!!

Hey man, I appreciate your offer but decided to go with Lenny's. Hopefully they'll live up to what I've been told.

Well I picked her up from the hospital today and she's feelin' pretty good. Not 100% but close. The bumper and the hood look better than new. The body work on the bed doesn't look as good as it did before the garage ran into me. It's hard to tell in the pictures but in the certain lighting/angle you can see a slight Kind of sucks but do I really want to take it back or just live with it.

Thanks man, appreciate it

I'm thinking about lining my garage with wrestling pads or something. Maybe some sort of early warning system with flashing lights and night vision
