    up here I travel alot of back roads too and they "sand" the road with whats more like gravel sometimes so for me it was the projectiles from other vehicles chipping the billet if they dont use a ton of gravel and salt on the roads you might be ok. mine was also not powdercoated i only say i dont think it would survive cause my brothers dump trailer that pc'd is full of chips from his tundra throwing rocks @ it

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Carriage Works grille. I've since painted the sides of the radiator flat black so the rad can't be seen.
