I like the look and protection that lower rocker shields look. I drive on the beach and do not want any screw on stuff, just more places to rust. Thinking of Bedliner, decal, double sided plastic or metal shielding. Just no drilling. Pics are a plus. Thanks in advance

Are you just looking for protection from scratches? If so a bed liner will work. If you want protection from rocks you need sliders. If you put on rocker skins and do them right and use silicon the body won't rust.

Rocker skins sounds good, I'm not a rock climber, just need sand and scratch protection from road debris. I will google "skins"

Not true. My wheels have been plasti dipped for 7 months now and even through rocks, they have held up well.

One thick coat and no scuffing. You don't need to with plasti dip. I didn't even clean the dirt off the wheels.

^^ he should continue spraying the top half of the doors so it lines up from the hood to the hardtop

You must have bought that amazing brand! I cleaned my stock jk wheels with soap and water...then with Windex...then put on 4 layers of plastidip. Loved how there was no maintenance and no cleaning of the wheels after that. It was great, UNTIL i took it into the desert. It just sanded the edges clean off!
