    First off road experience Sunday. Did a quick run on the Reymert Mine Trail.

    Overall it did pretty well navigating the rocks and riverbeds.

    Holy sheet does this paint scratch easily. Nothing like some long visible scratches on a new $40k vehicle. My FJ is a 2007 and probably shows an equal amount of scratched. Hopefully I can buff it out. Or not, I guess it will happen again.

    The dash lights up like a christmas tree when those fancy sensors get dirty. Can you turn these warnings off when off roading?

    I think silver hides scratches best?

    This happened to me at Cleghorn Trail. I got pin stripes down the sides of my new 4runner. Paid $200 to have it wet sanded/paint correction as I was too lazy to do it myself. Only scratches still visible are on the black plastic pillars.

    Scratches are the badge of honor.
    Pine trees in Kentucky scratched mine a little not even 2 weeks after I drove out from the dealer. Only gotten more since then.
