GOAT truck armor

[mteolus]

Got mine in last weekend. Will be installing probably Saturday. Same as the one pictured though.

I’d be interested in an army green that will blend with OEM. I always wanted rhino hide because of the significant coverage they provide. I’m also skeptical about covering the entire truck with vinyl.

For gaps not covered by panels, how odd would it be to have vinyl covering those areas? You guys think it would it look weird having vinyl strips along door seams without these panels on?

You mean the gaps where the door edges are? I think these cover enough to not have to put vinyl on the gaps, but I would say yes it would look weird with small strips of vinyl on without these magnets on.

Only thing I need to research now is what I can put over the plastic fenders. I saw a thread about two different brands of this clear stuff that goes over paint to protect it so I'll have to find it.

My apologies for not having a more robust website. I do it myself, and I have much to learn. I'm working with my patterns designer on upgrading the website this summer to include the functionality of selecting the Make/Model, the OEM color, and then the armor overlay so you can better visualize what it would look like.

Each pattern and color scheme for that pattern were designed with particular OEM colors in mind. The Black OG, the Digi Black, and the Arachnid black all have tones that complement the magnetic gray.

The Colorado Gradient was designed specifically for the Quicksand. The Swedish Urban Gray looks awesome on the Cement and Silver.

The best way to follow and see some patterns on trucks is [MENTION=390059]GOATtruckarmor[/MENTION] on Instagram or Facebook.

Anyone is always free to email me directly at [email protected] - it's always me answering, and I enjoy talking to customers and non-customers alike. I've become friends with a lot of my customers and even as I grow, I hope that doesn't change too much.

[MENTION=390059]GOATtruckarmor[/MENTION], I too have a magnetic grey and I do appreciate your suggestions. I am eyeing the Black Digicam and did look on Instagram for the Taco equivalent. You need more pics!
Also, I notice you post up discounts on your Instagram but I don't do Instagram so a group buy here would be outstanding!

Lord knows I need more pics! Surprisingly, I don't get quite as few from customers as you might think, not everyone is big on Instagram or Facebook. There are also so many patterns and truck color combos, it'll take some time to fill in the blanks!

The black digicam looks awesome on the black, and it has three different shades of gray so I feel it's a good fit for the magnetic gray as well.

Any plans on making sections to cover A pillars and/or hoods?

Do you have any pictures of Nautical Blue Metallic wearing your armor?

The hood would be sketchy, especislly on a highway. Though unlikely, i wouldn't chan e a bit of air getting under the front and then quickly pealing the hood armor back like a can of sardines... right into the windshield

BEFORE and AFTER

And just a note, the section that goes between the back window and the rear side window (can't remember what that's called) that has the SR5, or TRD Off-Road, or the TRD PRO, you will have to cut the piece in two and remove a section so that the magnet doesn't go over it. I found out the hard way. Had to shag it off a highway.

I'm also checking to see if there is anything that can be done to protect the plastic fenders such as Clear Bra or something like that. I'll let you know. I may just put a piece of tape on each of the door handles to protect them if I get into some heavy brush. Clear Bra may work for the fenders but not sure if anyone would install just them and not sure about the cost either.

Eah, i'll just de-badge it

Yea, I'm thinking the same thing.

Sweet rig! Let us know how the armor holds up and how well it protects on the trails. Also, did you have any rubbing with your Ray10-KO2s? I have a similar setup with a 2.5” lift about to be installed. Want to make sure no BMC is required.

I had to take the mud flaps off and do a fender liner mod which was easy but no BMC. One day I'll go to 34's and have to do a BMC. 4.56 will be necessary at that point. Not enough crawl ratio as it is with 33's. I had my tire pressure at 36 and that ended up too much as my inner tires were wearing faster. Dropped it down to 31. Got some cupping on the tires as well which is causing some noise. Not sure if that was overpressure or alignment.

On top of 11,939 ft. Cerro Vista Mountain (highest public road, I figure there is a road to the top of the ski lift at Sante Fe Ski (12,000) so probably the second highest public or private road) in New Mexico. View of Wheeler Peak (13,161 ft.) group in the background. Lower quality photo after I made it smaller with Paint so hard to see but to the right of Wheeler on the right edge of the photo is the Culebra (14er) group in Colorado.

Got a lot of compliments on the armor. "Nice wrap" I kept hearing people tell me. Didn't run into too much brush but it was nice knowing my paint was protected and didn't feel the need to clip any branches.

Fenders....The easiest way to do the aftermarket fender flares is to loosen them up, slip the armor under them, hold them back in place and run a Sharpie down the flair edge. Remove the armor, cut, and repeat 3x more. I've done this and it's very easy.

What about aftermarket front fenders (not fender flares), specially the McQueen Prototype Design for the 5th gen 4R? They are a slightly different shape, maybe 2" wider, to fit bigger tires. Would the GOAT armor work there/is it pliable enough to get it to fit a slightly different shape?

If not, do you ever do custom work?

i will say that i bought a roll of the magnetic material, .060 i think, decent heavy stuff. made the same set up for like 90 dollars for the roll. at first i thought it was great but after using it,,, i gotta say, i would not recommend the magnetic stuff for a number of reasons. it does blow off occassionally if you have to get out on a highway for a bit or even a high speed graded road. when it blows off, it will tear usually.

also, it is a real pain to take on and off. plus it is a pain to store somewhere when not using. also, it doesn't protect everything, you will get scratches in between panels.

plenty of other disadvantages as well, just my own experience.

all in all, i am glad i experimented first with my own set, i will be going with the rhino or 3m heat plastic stuff.

Just went on a 2000 mile trip, no problems with wind blowing them off. It took me 20 minutes to take them all off an put them in the container that they came with.

Are all slots filled? If not, why the **** not??? If you're in the north east rust belt with narrow trails, these are an obviouse buy.
