Default Wrapped it up

Finally got around to putting a wrap on my JK. It took me 5 days and worked by myself. Took longer than expected because I took off the fenders, all black plastic, tire carrier etc. plus i am healing from a broken rib. The material is made by 3M and ink is also 3M. Material cost was $450 for the Mossy Oak, plus another few bucks for new fender clips and fasteners(EBAY). There are a number of sellers, just google camo wraps. Oh yeah, it took 120 sq. feet, came in a 4' x 30' roll and I had leftover.

Nice job. Hope you don't lose it in the woods though.

Whoa that's really cool! Does it damage the paint when you're ready to take it off?

Not at all, 3M designed this to be a paint protector. I have had it on my truck for about 6-7 years and is still fine. I regularly drive through manzanita and other rough brush and it does not even scratch. Now I can do the same with the JK. But why take it off????

Need to find something like that but in plain black. My JK got some serious pinstripes on Saturday from coral canyon.

Not to bad at all, I removed the grill and was able to do it on the bench. Required using a hair dryer to fit the curves
