I think the key will be sturdy side protection, rather than replacing/completely covering the bulbous rear fender areas.

This is the way most wrap around protection is done, the wings, bars, tubes, plates (Whatever) come around/extend to protect the side corners.

The point is not to protect the fugly plastic parts...its to provide a place for the truck to rest on its side, holding the windows and so forth further from what ever its leaning on....and to give the rear corners (There's a hatch back there for example...) some back up angle protection.

The fact that no one has done this well yet, does not mean that someone else couldn't.



Its like the senate budget member in the 1800's stating that government funding for research was pointless, as it was obvious that everything that was ever going to be invented had already been invented.
