I'm not sure what my rear tire being off has to do with the tires in this thread anyway...
You getting that corner damage and taillight repaired or are going just going keep it as Trail wear?
That really must of hit hard to push that much of your armor in.

I could be wrong but I don't think he has any damage. The lights fit more flush than stock with the armor. Hard to see both sides with the angle of the pic.
Meh, slight damage that I'm pretty sure he's getting fixed.
After a bit of investigation (standing around bs'ing), I concluded I would not buy that armor system for a trail Jeep. The metal is very thin, and as someone else pointed out, the side and rear on a corner are separate pieces, so energy is not distributed across a very large area on a hit like he took at waterfall. I think they tried to tie the side and rear together with a third piece, but it looks like it would only work if you hit directly on that corner piece.
I'm not slamming his choice, and I don't know if 1/4" plate would have saved him, but in a situation where you're fitting a huge vehicle into a tight space, that system has some weaknesses IMO. It is great looking.
Of course, you could just drive better!
