If you’re an off-road enthusiast, you know your Jeep can take a beating out on the trail. Adding the right body armor is an effective way to protect your rig from damage. Find out what you need to consider when buying body armor for your Jeep.
Placement
The first thing you’ll want to consider is what you need to protect your vehicle from. Knowing the hazards that might damage your vehicle will influence the kind of armor in which you should invest. For example, if you want to protect the front end of your Jeep, bumper body armor is a great choice. An enhanced bumper will protect the grille, lights, and hood of your Jeep.
If you’re more concerned about the debris your vehicle kicks up, or if you need to cover large wheels, fender flares are a better body armor product. Fender flares resist abrasion and extend the fenders, protecting the sides of your car from scratches and dings caused by kicked-up debris.
Material
Another key consideration when buying body armor for your Jeep is the material of the equipment. If the body armor isn’t made from something durable, you can’t expect it to protect your vehicle.
AM Off-Road’s selection of cowl body armor is made from high-quality ABS plastic. This material won’t rust, corrode, or peel, and it will protect the cowl of your Jeep from dings and scratches. This body armor also features a raised diamond or striped pattern that adds texture and visual interest to your rig.
Weight
One more consideration to keep in mind before applying body armor to your Jeep is how much weight each piece adds. Adding weight will affect your vehicle’s fuel performance, and it might affect other features, too. One of the easiest ways to limit the weight you add to your vehicle is to choose body armor made with aluminum when able. That way, you can balance the material’s durability and strength with the benefit of a lightweight vehicle.
