High altitude winter coming. Plastidip lower panels for some protection??

I'm up in the mountains and winter is around the corner. A co-worker with a Jeep Chumpakee did a cut-and-fold on their fenders and then coated the edge and along the bottom sides and the doorsills with Rhinoliner. That part of the job looked intriguing. I'm wondering if I can do like 10 coats of plasti though and then just get rid of it in the spring when the rocks get swept.

Anyone lined their fenders etc. or derped a chunk of their truck aside from wheels?

 

Why wouldn't you just invest in the Rhino Liner instead of the plasti dip? Wouldn't you just have to re-coat everything the following winter if you went the plasti dip route?

 

Fair point. Probably because I could see myself not liking the look enough to make it permanent and wanting it off come spring.

 

If you have the factory mud flaps they do a good job of keeping the rocks down. But, derping would provide that extra bit of protection for the paint. Added bonus is your truck would be unique.

 

One thing I do every year is shoot about a half a can of WD-40 or something of the sort up the weep holes in the pinch seam on the rockers. I just park out on the gravel and hose it up in there with the little red tube.

I've been doing this on my 98 T-100 for years and the rockers and cab corners are still solid.

I HIGHLY recommend it. It'll drip out for a while so don't park on the concrete for a couple of days.
