problems with both front and rear bumpers. Makes me glad I opted for the
rear valance instead of a bumper, one less thing to rust.
As far as the gap on the wheel flare. Take it back and have them
remount it. There is no reason to have to bitch about it. Just point out
that it is falling off of the truck and that you want them to pull it
and remount it. I had a 1/4" gap on mine when I signed the papers and
had the dealership remount it. Those flares fit really nice, there is no
reason at all you should have to "live with it".
BTW, I'm averaging about 14 mpg with a mix of city and highway. The
best to date is 16.5 on a trip with a tarp thrown over the bed. The Snug
Lid is on order! I currently have 5756 miles. No mods.

But if I get sick of complaining about that, I can bitch about the
smell of coolant when the thermostat opens. Maybe when that gets old
I'll cry about the wheel flare gap of 1/2" on my rt. front fender.
