Well today I slammed the tailgate and the retainer bar wasn't in and bent the tailgate outward a little bit but I just put it back by hitting it with my rubber mallet.

  1. Pebble cracked my windshield at just 1500 miles
  2. And just today at 5000 miles, dropped my door on the garage floor, dented tha corner and scraped off a bunch of paint

No wounds off-roading yet, just lots of mud and grime But I do fairly easy stuff right now so battle scars are left for the future.

While wheeling I lost traction on a wet moss covered rock climb and ended up backwards against a tree and popped the rear POS plastic bumper. Also hit a tree on a tight turn with the front crush can and poked the plastic in and also scrubbed the underneath gooood with rocks lol. Had a great time...

Dimple mod within the first hours. Kids drug a crutch across the beltrail, and scratched the paint down to fresh steel. And, not to be outdone, second dimple mod added this week! Matching dimples! I should call mine Shirley Temple....
