Doh! The tree made its mark

The sliders work great.... except when you hit a tree in front of them

Gotta take that first dent eventually

This happened last weekend, and I pulled it off after I got home. Spent less then 5 minutes on it with a hammer and dolly, and its looking much better already. I might pull it again once the weather warms up, but its good enough that people do not notice unless I tell them about it. Since this picture, I have touched up the paint as well.

that color looks like it hides the scatches pretty well.. Of course not completely, but better than green or black or something

Thanks, I was only able to open the door about 12 inches or so before it would hit the fender after it happened. I used a maglite on the trail to pop it out enough to use the door again.

Yeah I guess the color does hide the scratches pretty well. And it holds up pretty well, it was a roll on paint job
