I think those arm rest/grab handles break when short people drive.

I say that because mine are fine and the truck has 240K+ miles on it.

However I do have a "soft" spot behind the grab handle on top of the arm rest where my elbow sometimes sits... not noticeable unless you feel for it.

My theory is that short people have their seat slid forward and their elbow sits on the grab handle instead of on the arm rest.

I don't know, just my theory.

Exterior is clean. Wiped down the paint after the wash and polished the wheels again. Found a few spots that needed more attention.

Of course you washed them and polished a few spots... when do you ever not wash them and give a few spots more attention?!?! Lol

Last 6 weeks :) True story. And look who’s calling the kettle black?

And got some maintenance done in the middle of winter too. o_O

Had to keep the trucks relevant since I haven’t been on very much recently.

Hey now, my truck lives in the Wild Wild West compared to your trucks! Lol you polish and do maintenance WAY MORE THAN I DO! Especially considering you live in the land of eternal SUMMER, and I live where we actually have four season in a year... lol :p
