The point is I dont want to 3M my whole rig. Just trying to prevent my doors and side of rig beat up. I like the idea of magnets to take on and off. To say I am a noob cause I want these is kinda dumb. All I want is to try and save the paint some on my new rig. Some people have no problems tearing the paint off of there 35000$ rig but for me a couple hundred bucks for some insurance dont seem like a bad idea

I guess the "Big Rubbers" don't scratch:thinking: 'cause if the Big Rubbers get scratched your Jeep will look like crap until you spend another $400 for new ones. I too would rather spend the money on the magnetic and take them off when not wheeling so my Jeep looks nice. :doh:

for what it's worth. i have tried both magnets and rig rubbers. magnets suck, they protected the paint from pin stripes, but, they reeked havoc on the paint underneath. i know, clean the panels...etc.. sometimes i just don't have time to detail my rig and want to go wheel'n. after more scratches than the bush i throw out the magnets and went with rigrubbers. i went with the clear version as i like the color of my ride... almost 2-years later the rig rubbers are still in almost perfect condition. the installation was super easy (just had to detail the jeep once). once installed they are near invisible, so invisible that a lot of my co-workers had to be shown exactly what i bought. were they pricey? maybe to some but cheap insurance to me. they really were only pricey because i blew cash on the magnets, which i tossed in the garbage once they trashed my ride.

one bonus that was un-expected was after my rig got broken into (driver side pass window smashed), the guys at the repair shop said that they actually protected my paint when the sh!tbag crawled in the window to open the door, they said that usually the paint gets all messed up.... not in this case...(kind of neat to hear this from someone else)...

if you want to see for yourself, check out the vid below, or, hit me up i will take you through some of the narrowest areas (dirt bikers paradise)...

save your money on magnets, protect your ride 24-7 for at least 2-years (like i said, 2-years and still going strong)

i have to disagree... they don't scratch.. not sure where you heard/got this one from. if you scratch these then whatever scratched them will likely shift the magnet, resulting in paint damage... rather scratch the rig rubber than the jeep.. just my opinion of course..

Xpel film on the doors for $1400 is always an option too!

Great to know about Rig Rubbers, thanks!

I use them. I have probably the worst paint scheme for offroading, a black sahara with painted flares. I use the skinz along with plastidipping my sahara flares for paint protection. Works great!

No problem with them scratching your paint. Do you use them on the highway.

If you drag them when removing or installing they will scratch. Otherwise no scratching. I've used them on the highway but only from my hotel to the trail or short distances like that.
