We all like to have nice looking jeeps and take care of them, but it's going to get it's battle scars. The way I look at it, it's past trails that I now have a gentle reminder of. The first day I had my JK i took it on a small run on my property and when I got back I had a scratch from front fender to the tail light. Not sayin go out and destroy your new ride, just know that something could happen on the trail. Think of the small scratches as pin strips :P. Other then that good luck, and get some good pics, and welcome to the world of awesome jeeps and empty wallets.
