First time off roading.

Tried the beginner and intermediate trails and got thru them no problem. It was fun testing my truck at Hollister hills but the scratches she got.... hurts my heart. She's less than 2 months old.

 

Pinstripes, not scratches.

Same thing happened to me on my first time. Sad at first, but now proud . This was helpful: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/how-to-remove-trail-pinstriping.504693/

 

The sooner you get those first scratches out of the way, the better. It's a 4x4 pickup truck, not a Rolls Royce you're showing at SEMA: it's supposed to get scratched up.

Betting most of those "scratches" are just dirt, though. They'll wipe off.

Now go drive it some more and have fun!

 

I was worried about that too on my first run, but I made sure to go slow in tight spots and all of mine were just dirt. Maybe take hedge trimmers along the next time?

 

@Pella you still trying to bring up old memories? lol

 

I feel ya man. The fact that mine is about the same age is holding be back from doing alot of trails. But its what its for. You can always buff the scratches out
