I took mine in for its first oil change Wednesday and also asked that the tires be road forced balanced.

Upon getting it home and getting underneath it, there was:
  • Excess oil dripping down from the skid plate;
  • A missing bolt on the cover from the passenger side that has to be removed, along with 2 broken u-nuts;
  • Weights installed on the wheels that don't clear the brake calipers; and
  • My wheel barrels are all scratched up where they used a screwdriver or something to get the old weights off.
Needless to say I wasn't happy and it's going back on Monday for them to "fix" it.

take pictures before you let them touch it again.


take new pictures when you get it back.

oil change techs at dealerships suck and the service advisors are generally too aloof to look over their work.

I did, took them as soon as I noticed. Super frustrating.

Oh nice! Thank you!
Do you run the S or the N? From quick reading you leave the hose attached to the N but the S you attach each time?

Found the thread. 107N and it appears some leave the line attached and others attach it each oil change and remove when completed. Thank you again.

I use the S and direct the hose right into the container. No drain pan. Except for the filter. Makes oil changes so much easier and cleaner.

Installed the Core Trax cargo bars on the Decked platform. It's a fairly simple install. The mounting screws are secured through the plastic deck to the steel substructure. Just a note, when drilling the pilot holes, you want to make sure you don't drill completely through the steel substructure tubes. You only want to go through the top half. If you go through the bottom part of the tube, you'll have a leak that goes into the Decked Drawers.

For now I'm really just storing my recovery gear, some tools, and snow shoes in there. Eventually it'll all be camping gear. I'm going to throw a blow up mattress on top and use a truck bed tent for the summer. The one drawback is that the deck isn't long enough for my 6'2" frame to stretch out and sleep, so I'm going to build some kind of platform that can sit on the opened tailgate and support the mattress. Not the best solution but it'll do for now.
