    If you're confident in your measurements I don't see why thatd be an issue. Naturally we'd blame you for fit issues hahaha.

    I'll post some pics of the damage later, nothing major but still enough to ruin my day when it happened. The guys at Eagle River body and paint said even though it's small stuff, probably at least $1K worth of work to have it done right. Sucks...

    I remember looking at the green tree website when i needed a Jeep tire carrier, but it was mostly Toyota stuff, makes so much more sense to me now!

    I like that, I will definitely give them a call. Seems that the better order would have been rock rails AND THEN offroading, live and learn (and pay...)

    Here are some pics of the damage I did to my rocker panels. Again, it doesn't seem like much, but I guess it adds up. Paint and body work has never been my strong point, so what looks minor to me may not be so...

    WP_20150608_003.jpg WP_20150608_001.jpg WP_20150608_002.jpg

    The first pic is on the drivers side front door, that's probably the worst of it though not the biggest. Thankfully it came just short of hitting the door, no opening or closing issues.

    The other two pics are all on the passenger side, but they seem like they could be pulled out and touched up without and grinding, but I'm not a body guy...

    That's not damage, those are trail scars. Gives the truck character

    If you run your finger through the "scratches" and it doesn't catch your nail too much then they'll buff out. I do a little detailing sometimes and I've gotten scratches out of trucks that were just covered before, you should check on that. Then again sometimes the white means they're down past the clear coat. I used Meguiars Compound and a microfiber cutting pad for heavy scratches. So assuming they're just "heavier" scratches then they can buff out. I accept the fact that these trucks will get scratches off road but those are really bad! Not trying to rub it in, I can see why you'd want them out ASAP! Plus the actual body damage too.

    Yeah, it's just like taking a picture coming down a really steep hill, the picture just really doesn't show it true. None of those are just scratches, unfortunately, it's all dents in the body even though it's hard to tell that from the pictures. If it was just scratches, I'd live with it as souvenirs from the trail. But since my dumb ass actually dented it up, yeah, I want to get it fixed.

    ... and then add rock rails!

    Honestly a set of sliders would probably hide all of hose dents and scratches as it is
