A few scratches...NOOOOOOO!!!

So yesterday, I decided to go out with some friends off road (at Marin Creek, for those of you who know the DFW area)...and I *might* have brushed up against some limbs... I got some scuffs/scratches doing so. The bad part is that most of them catch my fingernail, so they'll never come out. The good thing is that I don't regret it since I had so much fun and my truck's paint came to me with scratches anyway...

My plan: S-X, wax, etc to cover it up some...

I also plan on telling my boss that it was keyed, not that I went offroading. (Yes, it's 2wd, but it did well, and Marine Creek is easy for a 2wd in most places...)

Exactly why my truck will never ever see the offroad. As long as you had fun though that's all that matters.

Well...as I said, it came imperfect. If I had a good paintjob to start with, I'd never offroad it, unless I had a play truck and a nice one...

As far as I'm concerned, it's a truck, and not the best looking one (some scratches, slight body damage, and paint chips), so I get to treat it like a truck, not like I have been, which is to say like a 'vette. I've come to the realization that since it'll never be just right unless I get a respray, why not occasionally have a bit of fun...

Put some 33's with 18's or 20's, with that leveling kit, that truck would look sick! It already looks great!

Thanks for the compliment on my truck. It's actually getting a 6" Fabtech lift and some 35's next month. The waiting is the hardest part in all of this though. I save up enough to get the lift and tires and then decide I want to add a steering stabilizer as well so I have to save a little more. I am debating whether to keep my leveling kit on when I add the lift so that may cause me to have to go with the %' block and an AAL so I am putting away a few extra coins if I have ot go that route.
