Hey, why don't you put Bob Sagat on that side next time you do that trail so that his face can absorb the impact?

I think dents and scratches add personality. I remember like 2 days after I got mine I took it on a 4 wheeler trail on the property next to mine and put a new pin strip from front hinge to tail light. I thought I was going to puke. Now there all over. Plus dents in the hood and a nice rash on the passanger side door. I don't like doing it on purpose and I always kringe alittle bit when I first do it but after a couple mins I think well it could be worse...It could be at the mall getting hit by shopping carts. Atleast it happened on the trail.

My friend said that exact same thing... and it's so true. I hadn't thought of it before he said it, but it's a great point.

Another thing that helps me is when I think "You know, at least I'm using my jeep for what it's MADE to do!"

I lost the center of my wheel hub this Saturday. Nothing like a dent but it was still funny.

We stopped at a Dairy Queen on the way home from wheeling and I walked around the Jeep and noticed it was gone.

Just laughed it off.

Here's a pic of the damage. It looks a lot worse here than it is thanks to the "wow".

Paintless Dent Remover would get rid of that or at least make it less visible.

Heh, it's a Jeep thang! LOL!

Just had to say it, but a scratchless repair can get the worst out, but that crease will always show a dimple.
