    Just wondering how many noticable dents/scratches your guys trucks have or how many you will put up with before getting them fixed? I am currently looking at a truck that has some trail scars and been in the woods a couple times, I cant make up my mind if I should buy a truck that has been previously wheeled. Would you?

    Thanks!

    A lot. Maybe 4-5 that are deep and will need a complete sand down and repaint to repair. All others will buff out I'm just too lazy to do it.

    I cant count how many scratches i have in my paint. Only 2 small dents in the body- if you dont count the rear bumper that smiles at you.
    If its been in the bush it has experience, depends if you like that.

    that leads one to ask why - why were you slinging a sledge hammer at your bumper in the first place? :confused:

    battle scars and trail damage are cool, and dont bother me too much.

    The things that piss me off are scratches, chips, ect that you dont know how it happened or are pretty sure some asshole did it when he slammed his door into your taco because he was jelly because he has to drive a 1981 honda hatchback

    mine got shot by a bb gun once, no idea who did it but that one made me the most angry because it chipped the paint. I also jack knifed a trailer into my bumper (still using the bumper hitch) and put a good sized dent in it. Also my roof has a random golf ball sized dent in it.

    That's all the big stuff.
