Last weekend Me and my son went to Jenny Creek
I went in the creek hit a rock and hurt my truck.
Now I am looking for someone with body shop skills

Re: My poor pretty truck
Its going to happen going off road, and you will spend a fortune if you always fix every scrape and dent. If you are always worrying about hurting your paint you will never do any of the fun stuff! You should leave it there, the first one is always the hardest to deal with!
Re: My poor pretty truck
Add sliders to prevent future damage.

Re: My poor pretty truck
Yep after my first dent and scrape in the passenger rocker and door slider I fabbed up a set of sliders for the ranger and have not worried about it since. They have been used a lot from hitting on the bottom to sliding around rocks, a definite must have! Let Brody or me know if we can build you a set.
Re: My poor pretty truck
Our Subaru has acquired a lots of scratches and scrapes on the sides and the bumpers. My wife used to get bothered by them, now she agrees with me - it's just plasticI know, in your case it's metal so it's a bit different, but still. Put enough of those on the truck and she won't care (try at your own risk, it might not work like it did for me!
)
Re: My poor pretty truck
If you add sliders you won't be able to see some of the damage. That is the good news. Plus it is much better $ spent to combat future potential damage. If that is the "worst" you ever get, you will be lucky.
Re: My poor pretty truck
Time for sliders..... And now the first damage is done and the rest won't seem so bad hahahaha
Re: My poor pretty truck
Rock sliders....all steel and rhino lined...mine have taken a true beating...all. They need is some black paint to touch em up.
Re: My poor pretty truck
If you are so inclined, it looks like you could touch this up yourself. I know very little about body work and paint but when I dented and creased my back hatch. I just went to the auto parts place, got some sandpaper and paint, then sanded, painted and sealed the damage. Your truck owwie doesn't look to deep, and if I could do it with no other experience, you could.

Re: My poor pretty truck
its not a offroad vehicle without a bit o damage..
Re: My poor pretty truck
looks like mine....kinda. Don't suppose you have a Dodge as well? The first is definitely the hardest, after that you don't really care too much an hour after the incident
Re: My poor pretty truck
yep here is mine on china wall.... first carnage.... now its sanded painted over i dont notice it anymore.
Re: My poor pretty truck
I remember that! Your rig was the only one heavy enough to actually move that rock!
Re: My poor pretty truck
it was almost half the size of my truck too
Re: My poor pretty truck
the first is the worst
