    You could try some Meguirs scratch remover but I don't think that's going to buff out all the way.

    Ouch thats scraped up pretty bad Matt. Looks like all the way down to grooves in the plastic.
    Gonna have to say, maybe that front bumper needs to come a little sooner than originally planned! hahaha

    Might take it to a body shop Matt and ask how much of that they can buff out. With your truck as new as it is, and the paint still nice, if they buffed just the one area it shouldn't look weird. It'll still be scraped up but might look a little better and they might be able to fill in some of the deeper scratches. Shouldn't cost too much.

    Try some scratch-x first.
    It won't get the deep gouges out, but it blends scratches pretty well and works wonders, especially if you have a high speed buffer.

    Appreciate it but I'm going to leave it on. It'll give me more motivation to make my down payment on a bumper :D

    Went out to Dog Valley today and ran around for a couple hours with the GF. Bit of snow, plenty of mud. Truck was a mess.

    Must have seen Sloan on the way home, as a nice Tacoma flashed his lights at me, right near our neighborhood.

    I went to Reno Vulc just cause I know them and they haven't done me wrong. Though I don't have aftermarket ucas either.

    Couple of the guys that work there are on reno4x4 if I recall correctly.

    And no worries on posting in here, this is sort of our local thread anyways

    This kinda turned into our BS/trail run thread. But I think Max is the man to ask I know he has went rounds with alignment shops. I've tried Les Schwab a few times and not that happy with them. Nothing like paying for an alignment and it still pulls to the right. There is suppose to be a shop in sparks called Ayres I've heard other reno4x4 taking there truck to them. I'm going to try them next or Reno vulcanizing.

    Go down to les schwa on s. Virginia and talk to JT. Explain your situation and he does good work. What are you trying to do though? I can tell you how to set it up before you sawed him.
