In the first month of owning my truck I ran over a little landscape fence that put a huge dent in my back passenger side rocker panel. The body shops quoted me 7k to fix it LOL i'll just hold off on that for now. Now to present time, just the other day my dumb @ss was backing up in downtown San Francisco and bumped a parking meter, that damn thing put a nice little scratch and dent in the tailgate. Now its a true work truck now, 15 thousand miles in 4 months

I looked for a couple aftermarket covers but nothing as of yet.. scratches + Dents are expected but sucks when you do it yourself lol. As for why it was unloaded was we were out in the woods on our ATVs and I had the weapon on my side, and it had gotten wet. I was drying it off and forgot I left it on my lap. I have a cw permit and always carry one in the chamber everywhere I go pretty religiously.

So I was getting out of my truck the other day and forgot my pistol was on my lap (not loaded) clip was in the console ... So I jumped out of the truck and all I heard was CLUNK! My S&W 40 bounced off the rocker panel just outside the inner plastic trim into the grass... The rocker panel seems incredibly thin IMO.. The good news is, atleast you can't see it from the outside, but I know its there and I look at it every time I get in the truck... lol D'oh! Any other first dent stories?

F*ck your dent........no dent on my sh*t, thats why I park 19 miles from anyone else............

Even with my 06, I've always parked way out to avoid door dings and my wife ended up backing into it in the driveway about 5 years ago lol

I have two dings in the paint in the right front fender from the friggin landscapers at my work pelting it with grass (and apparently 2 rocks) 3 weeks after I got it and I got a dent in the left front fender from one of the valet's opening a door into it about a week after the landscaper worked their magic on the truck...

Not even an hour after purchasing my truck, I am driving down the HWY on my way back home, suddenly I hear like a gun shot outside the vehicle. Upon arriving at my destination, I checked the vehicle for damage and noticed a chip on the windshield. Safelite was able to repair it.

I left my tailgate down hooked up to my trailer and messed up the plastic trim up top and put a slight crease that is barely noticeable. I was pissed, but with a new trim piece it will be hidden.

WWII produced some great weapons. I love my M1 Garand. A lot of guys like World War I era 1911s. Over a hundred year old design.

Maybe as a public service you could let us know when you're driving out of the area! :throwup:

agreed on leaving one in the chamber. if you aren't ready it's just one big expensive paper weight. if you ever need it (which I hope you never do) it is going to be at a time where you lease expect it and catch you off guard, do yourself a favor if you do carry your gun without the mag in it to start carrying with the mag in it.

 

 

Hell I forget when I got my first ding. Got hooked on mud riding for a few years and my paint shows it. ******* black paint :lol:

 

also why do you have a picture of a female as a sig pic?

Ummm it's supposed to be a pic of my truck idk. Can't view it on my phone but sounds to me like someone messed with it.

      Gas Prices

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By wxman13 · Posted

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
