Hello fellow Bronco fam, I am awaiting delivery of my new FE Area 51 Bronco and after having purchased a brand new off-roader back in 2007 (TRD FJ Cruiser) I was impressed with the limited body damage that I sustained as I wheeled it off-road regularly at a nearby creekbed and then at popular known locations such as Moab, FJ Summit in 2008 (Ouray Colorado), Bald Moutain, etc. I managed to keep the body panels pretty straight, in fact, the only dent I had was from parking the vehicle at a parking lot and someone hit my door with their door. The vehicle is black so the trail brush stood out when in close proximity, but from far away the Black still shined really well.
I said all of that to bring you to why I am bringing up PPF for an off-roader. 95% of the time the vehicle will be a daily driver, but the 5% I use it to go off-roading there will be tight trails with brush/branches happily ready to leave their marks on my new vehicle. I really like the look and feel of a badass 4x4, yes I also like the look of a beaten well-used 4x4 but that can be later as the vehicle ages. I got priced quoted for a full PPF wrap from several Detail Shops and was quoted from $7-8K. I checked XPEL website and found that the material alone would only be at $1,500. So now I am planning on doing the Full PPF install myself. I am very good at achieving good results on first-time long and complicated projects, just wanted to know if anyone else can relate and did a Full PPF themselves. I am interested in knowing some of the insight you gained and would recommend if you were to do it all over again.
