    None of the trucks have body damage...they only places they have damage are the front bumper (because tom has not bought his armor yet) and the rear bumper/rear quarter panel which once more is attributed to not having the correct bumper.

    The All pro bumper that Brandon has on his truck does/did a great job on this trail of providing him with the correct protection also a plated rear bumper would require cutting of the rear quarter panels where the damage currently is...my brothers truck and tom's truck are getting rear bumper in the near future which is why they both don't care about beating them up but they are beat up because those 2 knuckle heads enjoy taking hard lines and shit. We have been through many tough trails and tight squeeze's without any carnage. It comes down to being confident in yourself and your spotters!!!

    Or in other words! Don't be scared A!!

    ^ what he said. I didnt buy my 30,000 dollar truck to sit around and not wheel. Its made for off roading. Just have the right stuff for what trail is at hand.

    ^what she said hahahahah...having confidence in yourself, your truck/equipment, and in your buddies who are spotting you makes all the difference between a good off road experience and a bad experience.

    what it said... the only thing that doesn't help is having a photographer that keeps yelling "just do it".

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    Yeah, I understand the importance of proper protection for a truck that is going to be on the trail(heck, I made a front bumper and some sliders for mine, and a rear bumper is in my future mod list) but there's still something about seeing a new truck like that on trails like those that just makes me cringe a little. Its cool to see guys that arent afraid to do that to their trucks though. In a couple years when I have all my armor on, the truck's a few years older, and I have a little more money i'll be doing that in my truck too.

    Whats the worse that can happen? You flop it, claim it on the insurance and buy a new one :D. I'm fully armored except my rear bumper so I know I dont have to worry about anything major. Maybe a pin stripe or two.
