I am thinking about trying to wrap my jeep, however I'm curious if it's worth it to do. Anyone have any advice?

I’ve thought about it too. Seems like a good way to protect from trail rash, and pinstripes, but at this point I’ve already got em ?‍♂

I could make a good argument to picking a color you like and going in early to protect factory paint. Still curious to hear from anyone who’s done it

I've read any previous imperfection will show and unless garage kept will only really last a year.
In the extreme heat the wrap will bond with your paint. And it scratches easily.......

Think if I was considering a wrap, I'd probably just Plastidip the whole thing instead. It's likely a comparable expense (~$700 if you DIY), but should be less stressful to apply, easier to touch up when damaged and just as easy to remove back to factory paint.

If you do it, make sure to get high quality film and it will last for years

Thanks for video I might try and do it DIY if I can find a color that would look good.
