Paint scratched to hell and back
I am in the mist of moving to the South Texas Brush country, so the 1st thing I have to do is find a place to build the Wife's house ( I just live there ).
So, we have been spending the weekends looking at possible house locations ( on the ranch)and I have to tell you, my babied and pampered 97 Off Road Stroke has earned it's wings, I have put her in places that only a Cat D9 should go, I have plowed over small tress and tons of " Black Brush ", I have scratches on the top of the hood and roof, the sides are a lost cause.
So if anyone needs to give their 4x4 that "LOOK", just head on down to the brush country and have at it.

Yeah. Since I work as a geologist, my truck wears a little chapparral pinstriping. Not a lot, though, as I haven't had it very long. Now, my 87 Toyota 4x4 (which had 370k miles on it before some idiot plowed into the back and totaled it...), it had LOTS of pinstriping!!

Gee J.W., sounds like you should have parked the 97, and taken that D9 for the tour.
