Speaking of experience and fucking up your truck, it finally happened with me, last week, after 2 months on the road. Thought I had only rubbed against a utility pole while backing at a con’s lot, but it turned out the metal bumper cover caught the pole and pulled itself out. I was able to push the metal back in, but bumper is still broken and hanging. I used zip ties to keep it as secure as possible, but I’m going to need to have that bumper replaced.
Fleet body shop was closed for Memorial Day, during home break, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to have it fixed or have a new bumper ordered during my next break, in 3 weeks.
