will try and get a pic soon, but my buddy has some property behind his house and an access road he thought was impassible due to a massive massive scar down the middle from run off. I told him that I would just straddle it and ride lugs out up the far side. Well that worked until I slid into the ditch and buried the driver side into hill. Kids were freaking out so I backed down the hill. Hydro Assist line came loose and puked fluid and truck was scarred and dusty but not really that bad.

My buddy thought I was insane, which is funny considering some of the videos I watch and feel like such a wuss. Honestly, people have no idea how capable a well built rig really is.

Anyway, with a body painted in primer that you have random dings you have to fix, you kinda stop caring. It is getting a paint job soon anyway....
 
because wife and kids want a bright blue. And they tolerated the build in the front yard for the past two years.
 
I call fake.

You claim there is a run off rut in a dirt road. Everybody out there says there hasn't been any rain for decades.:D

Congrats on your first dent. Mine left Ca perfectly straight. Not a good panel on it now.

Little known fact, when it rains here it rains. In my 20 years in Santa Barbara I have seen periods of 24 inches in two days. Insane amounts of rain. Problem is ground just can't absorb it so you get crazy crazy run off. Then it won't rain for 8 months. lol
 
I know. I probably built a good portion of the houses around there. But everybody has been yelling drought. So a run off ditch was funny.
 
The question is.....Afterwords were you smiling? Is so, many more dents are in your future.
 
I got my first one on video. Now it looks like a raisin. I wouldn't fix it. Just paint over it and enjoy the truck.
