aaaand the finishing touch. Just gotta wait for the paint to fully cure until I put it back home.



Not bad starting from this...

Good to see your truck back, looks great. And awesome job patching up the bull bar!
It's great to see that they are pretty good protection up front.

It really is great protection, it's just so stupid how the body shop ruined it by going overkill on the repairs. Might as well not even have the bar up there at all, because the way I see it...it would have been the same amount of work. The radiator was fine...I guarantee that, but they replaced it anyway.

Repair shops just love to jack up the bill as much as possible so they make more money. Can't really blame them too much.

Yea, well...when it comes to things where they are also robbing my money, then there's an even bigger issue. I just found out today while trying to realign my headlight, that they replaced the actual headlight bulbs, when I JUST replaced them in February. I spent $50 on those and they were really bright, and now I got some bulbs that aren't nearly as bright...for no reason. None at all. So basically I lost money on those as well, because it wasn't what I paid for.

Anyway...all installed. Just got to order the second matching auxiliary light that got busted during the accident.
