Default surely an ignorant question...

Are those green magnets on your doors and hood? My guess is they are for paint protection. Am i correct?

Where did you get them?

Also, have you had any trouble with the magnets catching dirt and debris and scratching the paint? I've heard folks say that can happen but I haven't heard a first person account.

Thanks.

Awesome vids! I've been down some pretty overgrown trails around Squamish and Britannia, but you take it to a whole new level!

Question about the stubby front bumper: have the police ever given you a hard time over that? I (perhaps mistakenly) thought that a stubby bumper wouldn't be legal in BC.

Cheers!

Never had an issue with the front bumper. Technically your bumper is supposed to cover the full width of your vehicle in BC.

A trip up 8,000 feet on Molybdenite Ridge near Lillooet, BC. Insane adventure!

Geeze, some of those trails are a bit on the narrow side! Beautiful area though. Love the color of that lake at the end.

Wow you really do live in God's country. Small tip from one photog to another...mount the gopro on the outside of your windshield. Will stop the reflections in the windshield that spoil some of the "flawlessness" of your videos.
