What's your fender measurements now without the cap?

I'm curious how much it effected the zone coils.

FL=43”
FR=43”
RR=44”
RL=43 3/4”(with cap)

FL=43”
FR=43”
RR=44 3/4”
RL=44 3/4” (without cap)

My driveway is not perfect so my guess is the cap equals 3/4”

It was so much nicer to pack for vacation. I may end up painting mine and leaving it on. My wife already asked why I took it off. It does make the truck look a lot bigger

I would leave it on

Your vote is with the cap?
I was going to talk to my paint guy about painting the cap and door handles. I may just order the already painted door handles from Benny

It was literally a 20 minute storm and 1 gust of wind tore through my backyard. Sent our trampoline into the neighbors tree and dropped a branch. Power was out in the neighborhood for 8 hours and fortunately no damage was done to my house

I will put up some better pictures. The bright side is that’s 1 giant branch less dropping sap and pine needles in my gutters and all over my truck

They said it will be but I don’t know how they value them? The appraiser hasn’t called me back yet I’m sure they handle more serious cases first. My agent told me to be patient
