    Definitely a too tall curb at the mall. Now if only I knew of someone having a sale on armor...

    I really need to have a shop do the exhaust reroute that's the only reason I haven't gotten the rest of the skids yet. Welp first I need to change that pan.

    No way! I avoid the mall as much as possible. People park like idiots and just open their doors all willy nilly and smash them into the next car. I'm trying to keep the paint pristine on this thing.

    Also, anyone who has seen my paint knows that that is a load of horse s***

    What's wrong with the pan? That tiny little bitty scrape?

    I know right? The only thing that’s worse is the stupid brushed car washes that put swirls in your paint!!! I don’t understand anyone who’s willing to abuse their paint like that !

    :D;)

    Beside looking like a dented pan, I was curious of the possible negatives there are with a dent that size. I’m guessing maybe slightly reduced capacity? Would something like that require a repair?

    I mean, I’d probably repair it…but suppose one didn’t, what could happen?

    I went to Fleet Farm today.
    They're putting out Christmas crap already. I sure hope someone is happy, not.

    My paint is in desperate need of a buff, but I can't rationalize buffing it just to trash it again. :rofl:

    I got a whole bunch of scratches all at once a few months into owning mine. Now I just look at them and remember how much fun I've been having.

    But, I do park ridiculously far away at grocery stores, malls, etc. I can handle trail rash, but door dings piss me off! :angrygirl:

    I'm still looking forward to checking out the Big Falls area. I just need to find some time. Maybe I'll pass through this fall.

    The photo doesn’t show it very well but the pan is dented upwards. Not enough to touch anything inside I’m guessing but enough to displace some fluid.

    Didn't know our trucks had the capability of thinking they were over filled.
