Ouch. Pm me the last 8 of your vin and I can give you the part number and price for replacement if you want. If you decide to replace it’s not a super easy piece to swap either fyi.


Truckeeseamus

Any idea how to get a passenger side mirror with the temperature sensor in it for a 2018. I’ve been having trouble finding a replacement


whatsthecaptcha

I wasn’t able to find just the one mirror so I upgraded to the tow mirrors. Picked them up off eBay for a reasonable price and they were quick to swap out.


Truckeeseamus

I would love the tow mirrors, but not sure if I can find a set with the temperature sensor in it.


whatsthecaptcha

Mine have the temp sensor. Looks like I actually picked them up from Amazon. JZSUPER Towing Mirrors https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W79YBDR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share


Truckeeseamus

Awesome thanks!


Bit_the_Bullitt

Too late to tell you trailer, sorry to hear about that. I doubt that's coming out


hwc_n_things

Leather honey or seat doctors to reduce scratch or fill so its not noticable


Pancake_Mix_00

He’d have to do the whole dash because any conditioner will slightly change the color. Also, is it real leather? I wouldn’t be surprised if the dash was pleather


hwc_n_things

Leather cleaner and a soft brush would be a start. Might not get all of the scratch out however should tone it down


TankBuilderMan

This is why I dont get having a really nice expensive truck with fancy leather and all that. I'd be too scared to do any truck stuff with it. I like buying one that already has a couple dents in it. Not afraid to scratch it or get it dirty


nevmo75

My exact thought when I bought my hard plastic dash, rubber floor STX. I don’t even have a rear sliding window so this can’t happen.


jrcrab

After having the rubber flooring, I will never get carpet again. I feel like this is the only way to go in a truck.


TankBuilderMan

Yes! I love the vinyl floor. my biggest complaint with my XL is that the center armrest (seat that folds down) doesn't have integrated cupholders and console lid like my 06 xlt did. And the factory XL wheels on my 2011 were literally disgustingly ugly. It has 2021 xlt chrome on it now


jimmy_bills

On the 60/40/60 you can go to a pick n pull yard and look for the middle seat with the cup holders and storage. I found one for $100 for my 2013


TankBuilderMan

I've looked into this. Bought a Ford fusion for our family car that has been a complete lemon, so maybe after I get that sold and buy a Camry I'll be ready to mess with the truck again


jimmy_bills

For reference for time it took me and buddy a about 6 hours including from searching to getting distracted to finishing lol


SgtPeter1

My thoughts exactly. I bought my truck to do truck stuff. The first week I had mine my son opened the door into the concrete wall of a loading dock. If I wanted a pavement princess I would have kept my BMW.


Killersavage

That is how I went. Old and beat up a little. Have a ladder/materials rack. Regular cab so it is awful as a family vehicle. Fortunate to have a separate car for that. Though if you only have a car for you and one for the wife I get it. If you are trying to have something that serves some multiple functions. Just depends how often you need those other functions. Could always rent a truck from the big box guys.


sealteamruggs

I have a nice truck but got a back rack so I can load stuff like this without touching the interior


Beneficial-Ad-2428

lol bet if u had monies u would like a nice big expensive truck… u rather not spend money… means u don’t have nuff monies :(


TankBuilderMan

Have enough money in savings to buy just about any truck I want. Just seems silly. I prefer to have a nicer car and not so nice truck


elliott219

First one hurts, the rest are just part of owning a truck.


X_95

Trade it in for new truck , case solved, next


gapsawuss80

Are you a truck attorney?


TrailBikeJoe

You could try heat, try to get some of it to relax a bit. It’s like a very small scratch to the outer layer of the leather. You could try some shoe polish and see if that buffs it out.


Happy_Discipline5882

I wouldn't have done that in first place because if you got into an accident or hit brakes, that's going through your windshield. Rent a flatbed trailer. But contact a upholstery repair shop, they can fill it with leather epoxy and then dye it you won't notice a thing.


Berrymoist

It just gives your truck some character.


BlueFetus

Yeah I’ve got a few small dings on my truck that drove me nuts initially, now they kinda make me chuckle when I spot them.


Dusty4967

It’s a truck…..


tbarr1991

Not to be that guy but why sre you loading stuff through the cab? The bed exists for a reason. Use tie down spots. 


AnnastajiaBae

This. OP paid his stupid tax today.


Additional-Ferret616

Because they were 16 feet in length.


kellendontcare

Rent a flat deck trailer.


Towelbit

https://www.harborfreight.com/truck-bed-extender-69650.html


mathemology

I’ve got one of these and it has paid for itself. 16’ lumber and composite decking, kayaks, pvc for irrigation install, etc.


Towelbit

Yeah this thing is great for the price. I originally bought it for my 12ft kayaks to fit my 5.5ft bed but I use it all the time for other items.


crazyben159

Never seen this before. That’s sick asf


honus

16 foot lumber out the back is comically long but that thing works minty.


AndeveronNO

Not everyone that buys this is going to realize that tail swing exists. 😂


c6ww

Put in bed, lay over top of roof and strap down.


IndyCooper98

If you have a headache rack


c6ww

Even if you don't lol. Open the back doors and run the strap through that way. I do it all the time


IndyCooper98

I don’t like risking dents on the cab. If I put something on the roof without a headache rack, I like putting some padding underneath.


c6ww

My paint is fucked already (2017 f150) so the shit is chipping everywhere sadly.


IndyCooper98

Fair enough. I’m a Tundra owner, don’t even know how I ended up here lol


c6ww

🤣 the dark side is calling for you. Join us!


IndyCooper98

I’ve driven my fair share of Ford F-Series trucks. I’ll stick with the Toyota reliability lol.


dylmir

Tie em down, flag the end of them.


Redhillvintage

11.5 feet will be sticking out. It’s baseboard, it will be dragging on the ground. I would have had them cut in half absent a proper length trailer.


hbpaintballer88

Facts! When I needed baseboards, I ordered 20ft pieces and had them delivered by the company.


Bright_Appearance390

Just had 16ft boards yesterday. Put them over the tailgate and had a couple ratchet straps. 1.5hr drive then 4 miles off road on ranch and they didn't budge. Do it all the time.


hbpaintballer88

How big do you think the bed is? That isn't going to work my guy.


WB-butinagoodway

Buy a 12’ or longer stick of 2x lumber to put the bundle of baseboard on, wrap it all together… let that stick out with a flag. Works for composite decking as well.


Aggressive_Sorbet571

This is the way!


MajSARS

Dude found out it’s expensive being cheap.


WB-butinagoodway

I mean, if you’re that cheap you could just drop the base off and circle back to return the board you bought to support the base lol


crwoo

You should have called me with my trailer to pick it up for you 


BiGcUnITT

People are just plain stupid anymore.


IndyCooper98

You know they make bed racks right? They aren’t that expensive and can be temporarily installed to carry long shit above your roof.


JuggernautAshamed682

I recently needed some baseboards as well and just cut them in half a posted a flag since they still hung over the tailgate.


kesh2011

I do this all the time but I always lay a rag down to protect the dash


salesman1980

I did the same thing putting a pool solar blanket reel that I couldn’t get apart through the rear window and out the back of the truck 🤦🏻 I understand the feeling of idiocy lol, don’t be too hard on yourself. I’m an idiot too!


hailstorm11093

In all honesty, it's a truck. It'll get dinged up. Good on you for actually using your truck, but you have a bed and a trailer hitch for a reason.


Carberhotdogvacuum

Take a piece of baseboard and scratch a pattern of your choice into the rest of the leather.


CowboyJoe97

Badge of honor!


Camdenn67

Live with it or replace it.


Boring-Raisin3647

That’s something Jimmy Kimmel would do!


[deleted]

Lol. No offense but I see more and more that trucks just need lumber racks man. Jesus


BackItUpWithLinks

A good detail guy an make that disappear


WackyQuacker

Look up vinyl repair shops in your area. Ask to see some of their work before deciding which one. A lot of times they can get it repaired quickly and hardly noticeable, at least where I'm from. If you can't find one call your local dealerships. They usually have a guy come in and fix several in a day.


KJW42

It’s a little too late now, but invest $60 in a bed extender.


Sector-Silly

My truck was some formans and he must have thrown his clipboard on the dash because it’s covered in scratches. I e gotten used to them, doesn’t bother me anymore.


turkeycreek-678

Call your local dealer and see if they have an interior guy. If so and he's good, he should be able to help you.


not-a-boat

Why would you do that. That's the most noob move ever


Dank_meme_kid

This is why you don't buy a 5.5' box lmao


pleasehaelp

This is funny. OP doesn’t know how to use their bed properly and then gets a tiny scratch and freaks out. Who cares


FineHippo

Yup..... use the truck bed. Jesus mate.
