It gives it character!

 

REALLY wanted black or green....in the end went with silver for that EXACT reason....silver hides scratches VERY well.
and...yeah...its always that first set of pinstripes that hurts the most... after that...it gets easier
but...lets face it....there are still times...when you hear that branch squeaking slowly down the sides, like a serial killer dragging the machete across a table...that you cringe a little

ok...yeah...I'm a little bored at work

 

I guess small dents add character too? LOL. It's eventually going to happen. Those will buff out, it you want to.

 

I agree that small dents and scratches add character. That's why we drive Jeeps.

Mango was a good Jeep. One of the best vehicles I owned. Never let me down. Well except one time in HH she didn't want to climb a sandy hill...

 

And then Familytime backed up and dragged her out.

 

Haha yeah the first time it hurts but after its like what ever lol I remember my first time I got so many scratches but most of then came off with scratch off and I only have a couple deep ones but dents I have like 15 from my rock slider hitting my body also on my bumpers and all my skids haha

 

Welcome to the world of jeeping. Its completely different than a sport or luxury car world. I used to wax my cars and vacuum them out and freak out when I get a ding or scratch. After owning a jeep, I don't really care anymore, heck I bought my 12' rubi last year, paid $43k for it and when I got home, took her out on a trail and pinstriped everything, both sides of the jeep,hood and hard top all the way down.
And I have only hand washed my jeep once and that was 2 weeks ago and vaccumed it the first time ever last weekend cuz i had sand 1" thick on the seats, carpet and in the cup holders.

ITS A JEEP THING

 

ya...amazing how many scratches come out with some polishing.... i like the scratches though...shows use

 

I'll never understand this. The scratches on the undercarriage are ok to me, rims can't be avoided unless its a pavement pounder. Bumpers meh. The rest hurts my feelings on my rig :( lol
