There's a fair amount of light pinstriipping, but nothing that a camera will really capture well. Only one stripe running from the front to the back am I concerned about. The rest will buff out with some elbow grease...just gotta find the time to do it.
Anyone know of a good wax or something that can at least help prevent pin stripping? Someone mentioned covering your car in baby oil when you go mudding as it wont stick, but that's not going to help with the brush.
I really respect you 200 series guys off roading your rigs, and im just curious macneill, what do you find bad about a 200 series?
lets see some more carnage pics!

get those magnetic sheets cut specifically for your rig. You put them on before wheeling and take off before traveling home. I'll try and find the vendor

Thanks, I've looked into this already.
TrailSkinZ by Off-Road Magnetics Inc. Customized, Magnetic, Removeable Paint Protection
has them as well, and are custom for your particular vehicle.
They are just mighty $$$ and take too much time to install....but I guess you get what you pay for.
Out here though where it's dusty as hell, I can foresee the dust/dirt getting behind the magnet between the paint and causing the magnets to scratch the paint in a big circle wherever they are -- much worse than just dealing with the desert pin stripping.
Yeah I got an email from Magnashields this morning. No go on the LC.
Just like JB, If I lived in more of an area then desert, I would look into these, but al I really need to worry about is rock and sand damage.

Well, my problem is that I never know the condition of a trail. I could be doing just fine and then get into some thick brush. By the time I go through all of it, the paint isn't looking so good.
I'm going to just bring some good hedge trimmers and a large-mouth bolt cutters with me for those big branches from now on!
Looks like s***! You're doing a good job!

Thank you! Some day we will meet up. If you ever see me driving somewhere, honk! I'm always on the lookout for other cruisers!

Congrats on getting busy.

Awesome license plate!
Had to hide that plate....there be stalkers out there.
I'll play. This was last summer, but I'll add to it once the trails open up.
My sweet pinstripping that didn't come off after 3 polishings:
My old running board that was quickly replaced:
And that rocker damage is still there. Haven't been able to take the time to smash it back out.
One other thing...to all those 200 haters out there (and you know who you are) we do wheel our trucks. That is what Toyota built them for, and that is why I bought one. If I wanted a mall cruiser that looked like a wheelin pig, I would have bought a Sequoia (or rather, never sold my old one). So as a parting thought
