Hood Decal Oops

[JasonDroninAround]

I bought my Tremor right off the lot. I did not order it. I kind of wanted a Hybrid but I really wanted that CoPilot 360 and I really wanted to buy from a specific dealership from my town because of their community involvement. The dealership had no Lariats in hybrid and I ended up getting a Tremor. I do not regret my purchase. I went from full size 2WD van camping to softroading truck camping. The truck is very capable as long as you can minimize the bottoming out. The white shows less scratches (I figured that out way too early hehe). I just have to keep reminding myself that it is not a Ranger or a Tacoma

Anyway, the hood decal had a defect in it when I bought it. It was way too obvious to come from the factory like that. It looks like the dealership car washing crew got a little too frisky with the pressure washer and took off a chunk of the hood decal. I pointed it out and the dealership said they would order another and replace it. It took a couple months to get it but it came in a few days ago. They wanted the truck for an entire day because they wanted to reapply the ceramic stuff after they changed the sticker. While it was there, I had them do its first free oil change and take a look at the USBC plugs in the back seat that did not seem to work. I got a call yesterday morning that the goobers removed BOTH hood stickers before they opened the box to realize they only ordered ONE. They are keeping it for another day because they said they overnighted the other decal.

Haha. I love that tent. I have gone through three stages of figuring out how to sleep in the back of that truck. I think I've finally figured it out. I started with a regular 4x7 backpacking tent in the 6 ft bed, with the tailgate down, and that didn't work. Then, I built a little wood deck kind of sort of thing back there to extend the sleeping area to 7 ft and that's still didn't quite work because I was using a regular backpacking tent instead of a truck bed tent. Then, I decided to try an SUV style tent. I still sleep in the bed but the sleeves that is designed to go over the back of your SUV is still long enough to make it all the way to the cab of the truck. I roll my tonneau cover almost all the way up and that SUV tent works as a porch to get out of bed and be able to stand all the way up and get dressed or use the porta potty or whatever. It is tall enough to stand up inside but that makes the tent very hard to set up when it's windy. That's the main reason that on my last camping trip to Lone Pine then Death Valley, I did not get a lot of photos of the final setup. I'm going to set it up again this weekend and get more photos. Here are some photos of the camping trip before that. The only difference between that and the current setup is how far I back up into the tent. With this setup, I was barely backed up into the tent but that meant The roll up tonneau cover was only halfway rolled up which gave me problems getting into bed. On the Death Valley trip, I figured out that I can back up even more into the tent to where I could almost completely roll up the tonneau cover.

I took mine off in favor of a hood scoop which looks bad ass. Nice camping set up.

took the hood stickers off when they put ppf on it. the rocker stickers are coming off on both sides, going to take those off also.
when i was looking at tremors over the summer, one dealership had a used 23. most of the stickers were in various stages of coming off. from being pressure washed on the lot

I pulled my BAP hood vinyls off, they all eventually crack, fade, and peel and make the vehicle look aged.

Both hood decals were damaged?
