Why H3T's need rock sliders

[Nips]

I delayed buying rock sliders for some stupid reason and I paid for it. I made it into the 2nd day of THCI Badland trip and finally caught a rock. I am thinking of maybe just having the crease down line-x'd to match the paint. Probably be close to what it would cost me to fix this little mark. I also caught the rear bumper during a few departures. It was the same side everytime so no harm done. Enjoy the carnage.
