I use 'em. Have plenty of pinstripes....was just tired of getting the deeper ones.
Went with Trailskinz. Love 'em. They are great magnets. The only thing (as others have mentioned about paint)...is put them on, but dont "drag" them to adjust. pull off and put back on. According to Trailskinz, you ahould put them on a clean Jeep,etc. I cant say i wash the Jeep to go and get it dirty in just a few minutes...so mine go on without a wash. They dont move when on, so it isnt like you are scratching the paint with them. they DO however need to come off after wheeling....you dont want the moisture trapped between the sheets and the body. |

I also have a black Rubi and I used these for a couple years and was happy with them. I had them through trails that were so overgrown the 1/2" thick branches forced my mirrors closed, knocked fenders loose and prevented us from opening the doors. After a couple runs on badly over grown trails WITHOUT my Trailskinz, I gave up on the paint. As mentioned, you need to apply these to clean paint, and remove them to adjust, do not slide them. I sometimes left mine on for days at a time, a few times for almost 2 weeks. But keep in mind the longer you leave them on, the more dirt, dust and moisture can become trapped between the skins and the paint. This could lead to paint damage or compromise the magnetic bond, which is why it is best practise to remove them after each outing. You should also consider their limb risers and windshield pillar guards.

Anyone interested in paint protection should check out Rig Rubbers.
I guess for a fraction of the price you can buy the 3M clear coat spray on stuff. |

For that price I would rather have the magnets. They don't look reusable.

Do you have any pictures showing them installed? Where did you store them?

How about a group buy on the Trailskinz? Not sure what the $ conversion is from Can$ to US$ or what freight would be.
I have a quote from Pat from 12/3/2013: "$289 for the four door JKU which would cost $36 to ship because they are quite heavy!" |
look atthe shape...any decent sign shop can replicate the trailskinz....very simple.
trailskinz seem to be wht the newbs here in bc get....6 months later they ditch them for either no protection or for rig rubbers. if your going to do it...do it right the first time and get rig rubbers. |
