    Hahaha. I didn't believe him. And I wouldn't trade my truck for anything. It's had just about everything replaced on it. I get so many compliments on it.

    Thanks. I think it's pretty heavy maybe a couple of hundred pounds. I've thrown firewood splits from 10 or 15 feet away and hit the side without any dents but it's not going to protect against trees or boulders or anything.

    The truck was my dads before mine and There is a small dent on the hood where it bows in the front from a limb in a storm. One is the Passenger bed where someone ran in to it with a dirt bike and hit with the handlebars. I have one in the driver bed that was pretty bad that im working on getting out now. I gotta stud welder and got it mostly out, Still need to paint it (just flat black now) and theres one on the driver bed rail that im gone try to pull out and just bedline that part of it.

    This truck is a work truck - not a lot of fancy mod's here, but it's getting the job done!
    Can you PM me on where you got that rack or what it took to make it - It's freakin awesome!

    As for my dents and scratches - too many to list... here's a pic of my worst dent...

    My dad took my truck on our hunting property this morning because its smaller than his '06 F150, the truck was muddy from riding last time and when he got back home today there was just all kinds of scratches on it so after I washed it this evening there's a nice big deep scratch from my drivers side wheelwell all the way to the back one, so thats my first big noticeable scratch! It sucks but its a '99 and I wheel it so its gonna happen!

    Are you referring to his line x paint job? You're kidding right.. What ever the gun uses, is what it'll weight. No more than probably 10#.s

    200 pounds worth of paint eh? Are you painting the empire state building? 10#s .

    Mine is a 2002 and I don't have any dents and only a few minor scratches ( about 1" or 2" length) that have all been fixed or at least a clear coat over it.
    A few months ago I had a "paintless dent repair" guy take out all the small dents from door dings etc. The guy did an amazing job.
    So, that probably makes my truck a mall crawler, but I have actually been off road quite a bit - I am just anal about not going where it will get scratched. Most people who see my truck thinks it is brand new.

    To many to count. Actually I don't really care about the paint... but I take care of the engine, trans... My Taco is a work/bush truck. I go hunting, fishing, cutting wood where the quad go and not the full size truck...

    Cheers!

    Mine has a lot of minor scratches and dents, but my drivers side fender is dented all to hell. A few summers back my tire came off while i was driving (dont ask) and ruined the fender. I saved up money and bought and new fender and got it painted, and 2 weeks later i was wheeling and bashed the hell out of the same fender again. I just gave up on it lol i knocked it out the best and could and drove on.
