Man those transport guys can really beat on stuff. Have you ever seen how tight they ratchet stuff down? They will pull trucks down to their bumpstops with chains, and I have had over 2000# in the bed of my truck and it was far from the bumpstops... I can't imagine what that would do to something a little more delicate.
Hey if your dad gets a new front airdam, I'll buy that scratched black one off him, that would be pretty cool. I've aready heard of the SRT-10 hood being delivered for just over $500 unpainted. This SRT-10 is really going to help the regular Ram aftermarket!
