Show me your body damage/trail rash
The other day after the mud bog me and my buddy washed our Jeeps with his heated power washer. I wanted to get mine really good before the winter since it hasn't been really cleaned in almost a year. After I got home I was admiring how funny it looked clean and I got a little carried away. First I decided to clean the windows, then I grabbed some spray detailer I use on my car so I could clean the paint and assess the body damage I have collected over the past year's wheeling.
I took some pics cause I knew this was the only time it would be clean for the next year, and I thought this would be a good idea for a thread. I love body damage. I think it adds character, every dent has meaning and memories. I especially love an otherwise really clean rig that you can just tell had the **** wheeled out of it. So show me your trail rash. I don't want to see it after you hit a deer, or a soccer mom's minivan, I want to see Jeeps that are used what they're built for.
Note how clean and shiny the hatch is. That's what it used to look like

Mine doesn't have a straight body panel on it, not even the hood. Been on it's side 3 times and partially on the roof once, luckly it rolled back on it's side.

Here are a couple of my passenger side from before my Thanksgiving day rollover.
I have a car cover on it now, or I'd take more pictures...but needless to say my damage has definitely increased since those pictures.
Here are a couple showing some of the damage.

I don't have anything real bad, just very shallow displaced dents in the doors on each side. They're only noticeable in glares, but i'll try to get some pics up
