As I was couch crawlin, it slipped and landed on the second part of the couch(I was crawlin on the back of the couch). Some peices fell off.

Front bumper
one bedside
tail gate.



I will have to use some extra glue, or be careful and not climb so high.

Right. And chicks dig scars. Nuff said. Glue her back together and hit the trail. I don't know how thick the plastic is, but some dents would be the cats @$$. There is a guy on here who did it, and it looked great.

Today I tried at rock rash.

Used:
Rugged rock
Lighter
Soldering Iron.

So I used the lighter to heat up the plastic, then used the rugged rock and just pressed it on there, and it left the rugged print in the heated/moldable plastic.

I do highly suggest to do this before you paint your body.





For the glass crack, I heated the soldering iron up and just drove it across the glass. Its like a hot pencil.


I also went with droop in the rear, makes the body look like it sit flater. As you can see the upper pictures it looks like a dragster.

If you say so. I think you should do some more. It just needs some sanding and to be re-painted. Then maybe age the paint job a little. It appears most of the rash is your paint coming up. I mean, its a trail truck, correct? It's supposed to look terrible. If it dont, you ain't driving it right.

I looked for that thread I mentioned a few posts back, but could not find it. It's on here somewhere.
