HAS ANYONE TRIED TO MAKE PROTECTIVE SHEETS TO COVER THE SHEET METAL FOR GOING OFF ROAD MADE OUT OF A MAGNETIC VINYL
I HAVE SEEN IT FOR JEEPS AND HUMMERS N SUCH. COULD NOT FIND ANY PRE CUT FOR THE LR3 SO I AM GOING TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE MY OWN SO WHEN I GO OUT IN THE BUSH I DOT GET THE VEHICLE ALL SCRATCHED UP.
IS THEIR ANY INTEREST FOR A PRODUCT LIKE THIS FOR OTHER LR3 OWNERS IF SO LET ME KNOW. AND I WILL POST PICS OR A LINK TO PICS. IF IT IS NOT TO BAD I WOULD MAKE SOME FOR OTHERS AS WELL.
I AM GOING TO USE .030 THICKNESS AND IS 2' X 50' ROLL LOOKS LIKE I WILL HAVE AROUND 200-250 INTO IT AT THE MOST.

THE CRAP IS SUPPOSED TO BE HEAVY
ANY SUGGESTIONS??

wow almost done with the body armor only the qarter pannels are left for the big pieces
the tuff molds awsome just put a hair drier on it or do it durring a warm sunny day
the fender was the hardest so far.

I too would be interested in seeing the final result. Sounds very intriguing.
Are you still attaching magnetically?
