It has a couple good scrapes and some rock rash from Cadillac hill, nothing major though.

I changed out my rockrings which made it look a bit more unblemished
I keep it spiffy too


David at Northridge was giving away cockrings, oh sorry, you said rockrings, same thing maybe? They are supposed to keep things hard and useable and free from deflation.

A couple times a year I take the polish to her and buff out the scratches, just to keep her in as good a condition for as long as possible (I'm never selling this Jeep).

I also wax it... twice a year. In the spring and the fall. I don't mind the scrapes and scratches but I want to keep it looking as best I can for as long as I can.
