Got my second set going on now on my 460. The ones for my 470 were phenomenal

So, had a minor incident on some FSR this past weekend and acquired a few scratches and abrasions. No dents or mechanical damage at all thankfully.
Called my insurance and they didn't hesitate to cover it after I was honest with what happened. They sent me $2,300 from their app / photo estimate and told me to take it to a shop for a real estimate... Toyota said $14,203 to get it all fixed and my insurance asked if I wanted to have the money sent to Toyota or debited to my account.
I should just get this wrapped for $5,200 ( already got quoted and includes filling in scratches ) and slap on a new Victory front bumper right?

That’s some major pin striping you got there… care to elaborate. 14k is crazy but body work gets more expensive every time it seems. I feel you on the wrap, I guess the question is how long will you have the rig, and is the resale an issue for you.
Certainly interested in what caused that

FYI I started carrying a set of loppers and a cordless sawzall with 9" wood/pruning blades. Most of the trails around here a pretty narrow with lots of SXS usage, so I usually get out and clear branches and small trees from particular narrow spots to keep from totally trashing my paint.

2nd the sawzall. It’s a must have in my region as well. Think I might invest in a battery powered chainsaw too, I have a gas one but it’s way bigger and heavier.Certainly interested in what caused that

Never considered a sawzall or loppers! I'll have to add that to the Ultimate Trail Tool Kit (carry on for off road) list!Certainly interested in what caused that

I have an 18" e-chainsaw (used with my 3,000 watt inverter), but that's for cutting fire wood when camping. I don't take that with me all the time.
Now you've made me think about how and where I'd keep an electric sawzall and loppers on my rig!
I have a M18 Fuel sawzall; it will cut through maybe 5-6 smaller/mid sized trees (6-9" or so trunk size - usually hardwood around here) before the 5 amp-hour battery dies out. A battery chainsaw would no doubt be quicker and probably have better battery life, they are just quite expensive ($500 or so) if you are a M18 junkie like me .
Both the sawzall and loppers are actually pretty small/easy to carry - I just set them in the cargo area amongst the other gear. The sawzall is also great for cutting up firewood at camp.
