    I'm thinking plasti-dipping the sides. It's not permanent so it's not a huge commitment and doesn't matter if it gets scuffed up. Anyone tried this?

    Don't wheel? Vinyl would probably look better.

    Some lift, some armor, some scratches..
    x2 on a clear vinyl wrap.

    Plastidip can scratch off and will only look good on a black truck imo, prolly look weird too unless you dip the whole truck
