im sure the camper is at fault :jester: jk, i have the same problem...(with the scratches that is, a camper would never dare rape my baby)

 

Meguiars and mothers make good scratch and clay bars that should help. I think black is easy because it is so easy to touch up.

 

living in ohio i have never seen "desert pinstripes". anyone got a pic?

 

Lol have you at least heard of them? Its when you go offroading and the trees and brush scrach the paint job of the truck ..they suck :rant:

and i know some of you are like what scott take his truck off road....lol it happen to me in an alley way that I used to drive through when i lived at this guest house for a while... after i realized where the scrathes were comming from i went and hacked the damn tree branches that were hanging in the alley :jester:

 

hmm, new to me. some rubbing compund and elbow grease ought to do the trick, then glaze after to remove/fill in final swirl marks leftover from the compund

 

...HARDCORE roadin...How can I polish them out?...

Hardcore? I hope it was a little more extravagant than when you got stuck on packed sand

You get rid of them by not dragging a truck you care about all over weeds and shit

 

Turtle Wax makes a wax for red cars, has a little bit of dye in it to help cover up scratches, might want to look into it.

 

I had hardcore scratches on my black truck from rubbing on twigs and all sorts of shit. I used turtle wax buffing compound, followed with turtle wax polishing compound. I used a cheap buffer from wal mart to apply the compounds. It turned out great. make sure to wash and wax the truck afterwards to get all the residue off, or it will leave a white haze.

 

alright i'll have to try when I get some time off.
anyways here'a some pic of the damage. (same on other side)

and here's a pic of a tire that got mauled I def need to get a locker if I ever want to go :mullet:HARDCORE:mullet: again.

 

nothing seems to be wrong with the tire..... I have done that to my old Dak and it was fine...... Am I missing something?

 

I guess we all have different opinions of hardcore offroading... :huh:

 

lol hardcore to me is when I rolled my uncles jeep.... thats hardcore to me. good thing he had a full roll cage and it had been rolled before lol

 

I wished I brought my camera I figured my sister would have brought hers I was wrong!
I gashed up the outside tread of my rear left tire on a granite hill they only have 100 mi on them! and i'am angry but oh well. I also put a gash in my gas tank and chipped some plastic off the emissions cannister thingy. I also scraped paint offa my frnt bumper and rear tow hitch but I can easily fix that.
it was hardcore because I did the same trail in a pinzgauer 710 4x4(With both F+R diff's locked) and and a 03 2wd TRD taco and both had a hard time makeing it up the hill I made up in my little 2wd open diff no problem!

 

You deffinatly wanna watch that gas tank......no one likes a hole in onea them

 

oh and I found some video of the exact spot

I did not tackle it head on though that's way hardcore!
I went to the right of it like the landcruiser did.
we did however have to turn back, there was way too much ice on the trail to make it up.

 

3M fine cut rubbing compound is remarkable at taking out scratches.
It is easy to use, and you can finish with 3M liquid wax.
Great , great products.
I wouldn't use any other kind of compound or wax.
