Just an excuse to upgrade stuff. I can say those factory sliders are junk. It bent causing the lower dent.
Yeah my next purchase is better sliders and some better skid plates

Congrats!...I've bought quite a few new vehicles, but it was when I was a kid (15/16)and offroading and put a dent in my Dad's new Tacoma that he taught me a great lesson when he reacted to the news... "F-#+ it, it's a truck.". I never forgot that, and it's served me well. Fast forward to when I was about 37 years old my Dad hooked up the trailer to my new Tundra, I pulled the tractor on and up when the nose of the trailer, then back down hard as I came off the trailer and ripping a nice line in my tailgate and bumper....to which my Dad said I'm real sorry, I forgot to latch it. I smiled and said "F"#+ it, it's a truck...remember?"

The dents are stories ?

Nice looking truck what's the lift(inch and brand)/tire combo?

Exactly. And being a jeep on top of it the scratches and dents are stories. It’s a 3.5” lift with 17” Kmc grenade beadlocks -38 and 37x12.50 Nitto trail grapplers

Is that rear-end part made of steel?

Boulder jumped up and bit me.

While wheeling in TN & KY last weekend, there were a number of JTs of all trims. The event was the Jeep Jamboree Gateway to the Cumberlands. I took my JL 370 and was following a JTR when the rear smacked a tree and tore his tailight off and put a dent in his rear fender. Your damage is a lot worse. I think I'll keep the JL370 as my wheeler.

I did crack a tail light, it didn’t come off but I took them off after that. That’s why I have these.
