4th gens are starting to really grow on me but I do prefer the fully painted body cladding as opposed to bare plastic but for off roading you do have less to worry about.

 

x-aw, for offroading, those plastic cladding pieces have been a BLESSING! even when they get scratched, those scratches don't show very much, and it's just very very nice not to have to worry about damaging the paint on those parts when you're driving over a rock, or through some brush.
