I Got Some Bad Trail Wounds

You're lucky. In Massachusetts, any off road use is not covered.

whats the verdict fellas, yay or ney? Its plastidip so i can peel it off. Just wanted to try and see the result.

personally would just get a soft top

Thats what im thinking too. With a soft top i dont have to worry about breaking a glass window again.

I like it - it's different, striking, but still tasteful.

i think the trick is to pull the tape when its still wet, haha deff make sure to find out with the monstaliner! i think its the same if it dries w the tape on it the tape will be like concrete and not come off easy

Please be careful on internet forums getting insurance advice regarding what is or isn’t covered and why. Simply get a copy of your policy and read it. I don’t say this to say anyone is right or wrong, but most people really don’t know and each scenario is different. The simple truth is some policies cover this and others don’t. It likely has nothing to do with the type of personal passenger auto, a trail rated badge, if you were camping nearby, or the state your in. However, it has everything to do with what your policy says. Some of what has been stated in this thread is accurate, some is partially accurate, and some is flat out wrong but sounds good. If you need a copy of your policy jacket PM me, I can help you obtain it and point you exactly where to look in it.
Also, sorry about the damage, but props for taking that trail on!

If you could clean up the top edge it would look good.

A few of you seemed to like it, so i went ahead and did the driver side as well.

I used purell on a paper towel to get any over spray that dried, came right off

@Chaosmtb was totally right! Took the tape off while it was still wet and got way cleaner lines on the driver side. Thanks for that heads up!!

That looks nice.

Im going to let it dry tonight and git it up with cleaner lines tomorrow following the tip i got from @Chaosmtb to take the tape off while its still wet.

Thanks man, I appreciate you all. I feel like we’re all learning a few things through my incident. Love this community!

fill roller prime. and use monstaliner. its a roll on epoxy coating that can handle serious events without scratching. when my billet silver jeep gets to many pinstripes ill probably hit the doors below the handles to the rocker keep as much factory paint as possible

This comment is really what got me thinking. The plastidip is a trial run just to see how it looks and live with it for a while. Im intersted in the liner because it will provide much more protection from rocks and debri.

I'm curious how you applied it that evenly. It came out better the second time, but the first time wasn't horrible.

I'm really curious how it's going to hold up on the trail. I like the idea of a peel-off coating. Bedliner would stand up to a lot more abuse, but I have never been able to bring myself to get a bed lined, because the first step is to brutally scuff up the paint.

I'm not sure if I would do this to my Jeep or not, but I don't hate the idea. It's pretty interesting. You get points for style anyway.

ill keep you posted on how it holds up. It took 2 cans, with a bit extra to spare for touchup when i see it in the sunlight tomorrow. Im hitting up 2 badge of honors in oregon after i go through the Redwood forest. im military and being stationed up Washington for now.

after those badge of honors ill be at 3 total, just need to order them.

i appreciate your honest opinion. I am also really interested in the bed-liner, seems like it would do wonders on a trail.

now im thinking about doing these for the window so i dont have to deal with glass
