While there are companies that are making diamond plate body trim that will cover up your doors, I would hardly call it 'armor' and IMHO, it looks kind of cheap. Have you considered running your trails with no doors or maybe with tube doors?

I like the AEV guards, but I wish they offered something with a little more coverage like some of the other companies out there.

Poison Spyder Customs makes a nice body armor plate for the rockers that fits with Rubicon rock rails and other rocker bars/steps. It protecte the body under the doors and extends up to between the doors for the Unlimiteds. They are not shipping quite yet, but can be ordered. I hope to have mine next week

yah I saw those ones .. nice looking. There just so expensive. I was looking at diamond plating .. but I think it won't do crap for my jeep.

Mine is hitting trees on my doors ... so yah either taking em off ... or running tube doors. I want to get em for the summer anyways. Right now if I am taking my kids on the trails. I dunno if I can take my doors off ...

I may just have to get rocker guards ... boey.

Ill keep searching I think.
