    I've searched but can't find what I'm looking for. I've seen this body armor for jeeps that you just put on the doors, quarter panel, etc. Basically just prevenue scratches. Took my '16 offroad for 1st time. Couple of scratches:annoyed:8

    Might save scratches, but armor? Not at all.

    Any sign shop can supply magnetic vinyl, they make magnetic signs for fleet and courier vehicles on a regular basis.

    3M makes some clear film (somewhat permanent install) that helps with scratches a lot. Buddy of mine built an F150 and had the hood done in it, it worked well for many years at combating nicks and scratches.

    I've seen them before. Sounds like all they are is magnetic sheets that are cut to fit the jeep aesthetically. Sounds like you could make a little business doing it to the Taco.

    The list is long but distinguished
    I use the Goat Truck Armor and they work very well. I only put them on when I go out and 'install' time is about 20 minutes. I store them flat and its easier to get them on if they are a bit warm.There are a few area that are not protected but that has not been a problem yet. The plastic fender flares are about the only thing that will take a beating.

    If you look closely you can see the pinstripes in the fender flares. The rest of the truck is pretty stripe free.
