I have the LoneStar package on my truck, which is the Texas version of the Big Horn for everybody else.

Part of that package is all the chrome, which we are trying to tone down a bit.

I just hope they get your truck back to the way you want it and you are happy with it.

Got my truck back. Now my cruise doesn't work. It'll rarely come on for a second then turn back off right away. The fuse was fine. Any ideas?

Don't know, but I wouldn't mess with it. I'd take it back being you had the amount of front-end damage you did. Truck looks good though.

Do you guys think the cruise is linked to the abs? My service 4wd light is on because that is linked to the broken abs so im just assuming the cruise is also linked to that.

Thanks! At the perfect angle and light you can see the difference in the new paint on the front door compared to the rear door but im sure thatll fade away over time and with a wax job.

I had that color on my '03 Durango. Paint matching was always a challenge.

Can you notice the paint difference between the front door and back door? You can only see it in the right light and angle. Will this fade away and blend together over time?

That's a huge difference. I'm guessing the guy didn't blend the paint into the back door like he should have

The only reason he painted the front doors was to blend it. I'm just wondering if it'll fade and even out

Wow to me that is very noticeable. I don't think that will fade. Not the mention when looking at the picture above the back door looks noticeably more worn than the front.
