Thanks Kyle, the "paint" is just primer, and still needs plenty of attention. So, no worries there.

I appreciate the thought, haha. I love my truck so much that I let it go offroad. Why have a truck if you aren't going to use it, or have fun with it!?

Beats me! My friend is building this high end off road yota, and every time we go take my truck through the woods he cringes whenever i scrape the trees and stuff & goes "oh I don't like that sound, just thinking about what that'll do to the paint on my truck" I ask him why hes even bothering to build his woods truck if he doesnt want to scratch it up!

Haha, he'll get over it. He's just antsy is all. I am too. July 22nd can't come soon enough. I feel like it is going to come and I am going to have missed some important piece(s) and I will be...not happy.

If there is anything about a wheeling truck that you shouldn't worry too much about, it's the paint. Suspension and gears are far more important.
