Well didn’t take long, but I was looking under my truck and noticed a huge dent in my catalytic converter. Doesn’t appear to be leaking and mostly just cosmetic. Just a warning if you are going off-road be mindful due to how low the cat sits under the frame. It’s just asking to be bashed in on a rock.

I'm pretty sure that's just the muffler you dented. The cats are tucked up behind the engine. They're actually kinda hard for someone to get to from underneath the truck, thankfully.

Oops good point. Yeah it’s where the baffles are.

Yeah I put a nice dent in my muffler and the cross bars up front have been smashed pretty good, I bent the ends flat and repainted it flat back so it wont rust on me.

My front skid plate has taken a major bashing too so I've actually doubled up the front skid plate to add additional rigidity.
