si vis pacem, para bellum
My truck is a truck and is used like one.
It hauls stuff from the hardware store, often maxes out it gvwr, and tows a 9,000 lb trailer all over the continent.
But it's trail use is limited and scratches are few. You're be hard pressed to find any dirt deeper than 1/8 inch on the underside at any one time. But then again; I understand that mud and dirt sitting in and on steel means rust and PDQ at that. Air gun gets lots of use in and on my frame and body.
There's more than one way to "use a truck like a truck"......just because it's shiny and is never frame rail deep in mud doesn't't mean it's not used to it's potential.
Not exactly what I meant about the frame, I try to keep mine cleaner than most, but if it's a lifted truck on 35's and the factory paper stickers are still on the frame and there isn't a speck of dirt on the tires it hasn't been dirty... Mainly speaking of the factory lifted trucks... Why buy if your not going to wheel in it...???
