It's been a month and a little more than 5k miles, so I went in for my 25k service.
My encounter with a rice-rocket can muffler at 70mph last week caused somedamage character to the armor over the KDSS lines on the driver's side, shearing one of the bolts in the process. No big deal they were able to remove the old one and get a replacement. Of course that isn't covered under warranty, but $55 isn't a bad price to save some swearing and skinned knuckles.
Another result of this high speed collision was a tear in the inner sidewall of the driver's front tire which took a few hundred miles to leak and then quickly fail completely. While changing to the spare I thought I kept smelling burning coolant, so I had them looking for that, even though I couldn't find it and the coolant wasn't low. There wasn't a coolant leak, but they did find gear oil dripping onto the Y-pipe from the transfer case. Of course this isn't a seal that they have in stock, and it could take a couple days to come in. With the holiday weekend they expect to have my truck back to me by Tuesday. At least the standard Corolla loaner was available, and since this is covered under the powertrain warranty this repair is no charge.
Yesterday I had a local shop move the Dueler crap from the spare to the matching wheel and am currently running around without a tire on my spare wheel. I'm debating about what to put on the spare as I intend to grab a set of 275 KO2's come Oct when I move up north.

We have a front plate license here in TX too. I've been looking for options but have not seen this one before. Do you have a link to that one? It seems better than the others I've found so far.

This has happened to us quite a bit when we usually jump on the road to hit the other side of the trail or something. There is also a rule on how tall a vehicle can be physically lifted over all on the highway/roadways. In coloration with how far your bumper is physically off the ground. Not such a big deal for us, but for some of the guy's I run with, we get it occasionally.
Don't forget about the mud flaps, fender flares, overhang of tires outside of wheel well. Those are a killer in Washington.
Beefier and they look like they have crossbars with enough clearance that you can actually mount stuff on them without scratching your roof...
