FWIW I just came back from lunch and I looked that price of gas at three stations on the way back. Mind you, these almost certainly aren't the cheapest around but are probably typical. The prices were $3.19, $3.21 and $3.22 per gallon for regular gas. You folks on the left cost are getting hosed!

Good deal,
I was just noticing that grill as well, looks to be from an XL model like the fender emblems. Interesting indeed!

Pm, good catch. I am starting to think the cattle guard was also out on my the thieves. All they didn't do was remove the tailgate, which for my sake was a good thing.

Yes, it was super heavy. Struggled loading it into the truck to drop off at recycle center.

Replacement bed is on. Now to start to address the wiring. I suspect they cut the wiring so the brake lights would not shine.
It's starting to look good now! Are you able to move it back to your residence now to work on the remaining issues? Or does your HOA not allow you to work on vehicles outdoors (since it doesn't seem like it would fit inside the garage)?

Fixing the bed wiring harness this morning. Another mistery. Two wires cut on one side, one wire cut on another. Then the wires were connected just twisting the stranded conductor together, and then heat shrunk. Horrible job on connecting the stranded conductor, but great job with the heat shrink. The heat shrink provides a false confidence. Once the shrink is removed, the barely connected conductors are exposed.
Where did the thief's get heat shrink, instead of electric tape? So weird.

This has been a real hoot to read so far! Looking forward to updates! Looks 1000% better already with the new bed!

Placed the tailgate on. Was more work than expected. This tailgate has a lock and electric opener. This meant different tailgate mounts on the bed and a dampener. Super lucky I did not dispose of the damaged bed. Trying to find these parts in this color would have been a challenge. And a big time eater.
Also discovered the thieves likely placed a glued on cap over the rear tailgate assist light. This lights shines brightly when truck is parked and night lights are on.
Also installed the replacement bumper. Found a new 2022, had to move over the parking sensor harness, had to take apart the old bumper to pull it.
