Yeah, I caught him. I really thought he was going to run, but I think when he saw me turn the truck around real quick and catch up to him, he decided to pull over. We exchanged info, and I did the whole police report thing. Now its just hurry up and wait for the insurance company.

They gave me the price it would have cost to have a shop do it. I bought the mirror and am going to install it myself. Cool

So this past weekend we had some great weather and since I had the parts, I decided to get to work. I had to paint it myself because the one they sent me was in gray ( Mad ) Came out way better then I thought.

Looks good man. Smile



Did you have VentShades on your truck at one point? It looks like the 3M tape on the door. I need to replace the drivers sdie 3M tape on my truck...it's not attached to the door in most places. Not loose, but, water gets in, and kind of defeats the purpose Mad

Thanks. Yes, I used to have them but the corners pulled away and started to smack against the side of the truck on the highway, so off they came. The glue... not so much...
