    So I was washing the truck after hunting today and see that the paint is wearing through to the metal in front of both front tires at the top of the bumper in the wheel well. One side is worse than the other. Should I be concerned? Anyone else seeing this in theirs? I've only had my truck a month and a bit. I didn't notice it there before andcan't imagine it would happen that quick. It's tough to see unless you really look for it so if you guys think I'm being overly picky good enough for me. Thanks guys

    How is it wearing? Tires? If it bothers you enough, you can always touch it up with some paint. I'd be more concerned about heading up any rust problems than appearance in such an inconspicuous place.

    That's the thing. It is almost unnoticeable and it isn't rusted yet. Still silver. And I have no idea how it would be wearing. Stock tires don't run and nothing else is even close to it. If no one else has this problem I might just touch it up before I go for my first rust check

    Yeah but there must be a reinforcement point in there or something. I'll take a better pic tomorrow when it's light out. Doubt it's an issue. But like I say, ocd about the new taco lol

    It's June, so I'm going to guess bikini clad girls. They are the only thing in season around here.

    Rabbits? Damn people still eat those things. I thought we were just forced to eat them in survival training...

    Rabbit is good in jambalaya or in a stew.
