To be fair it had quite a few light scratches from previous trips which didnt show up on pics although nothing that bad. Not worried though as I am not concerned about its re-sale value as its not going anywhere and its being used for what we want it for 
The snorkel took a real beating and I am glad to say its fine.
Couple more trips like that and it will be time for a colour change :evil:

I got a bad scratch the first time I took mine laning and in 10' of driving it went from a shiny to a well worn off roader. My Mrs thought I was gonna go mad but I had no choice but to shrug my shoulders and not worry. Like you I bought mine to use off road and as a long termer, so resale value became less important.
The noise like finger nails down a black board is chilling though when you know virgin paint is being scratched hard. Now it's got too many scratches to count and two dented front wings. Character eh?

Here is a short bit of video from the lane, although its not the narrowest lane we have been down the foliage was very abrasive :whistle:
to be fair to Suzuki its a testiment of the the quality of their soft tops too

Went out across Salisbury Plain and up to Devizes on Sat. Whenever we go out we seem to be the only ones with a camera so never get any footage of the Jimny but thought I would share this one as it involves us recovering a Disco
in fairness the Disco was on road tyres and did incredibly well, but that bit was just to much.
