After the first scratch in the dash board (first week) it was no longer "brand new" to me.

When you wash the JK and lift up the wipers and neglect to put them down. Then raise the hood scratching it all to Hell!

I drilled the mirrors after it was only a few weeks old. My wife heard the drill and came outside, her mouth dropped and she shook her head and walked back inside. She knew it wasn't new anymore. haha

Mine is two years old, has a golf ball dent in the hood, and I removed about a 1" wide piece of paint off the fender at three weeks old. Still treat it like its new. My wifes dog is not allowed to ride in it any more because she has sh?t in it the last 4 times.
