Designed for the 2007 through early 2018 Jeep Wrangler JKU (4 door - JK Unlimited model)
Jeep Wrangler JKU Armor is made of high energy magnet and designed to protect your Jeep Wrangler JKU's paint from scrapes and scratches when off-roading in brushy and overgrown trails.

TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION
Install ONLY when vehicle + panel surface is 65°F–85°F
Do NOT install below 55°F
Cold gel-back becomes rigid and can contract faster than the resin layer, which may cause internal separation if installed too cold.
KEEP NANO-HOLD TECHNOLOGY PANELS DRY FOR THE FIRST 24–48 HOURS
Water exposure during the first day or two can allow moisture to migrate into the panel edge or under the gel-back if the panel is not yet fully bonded. This moisture can prevent the panel from finishing its bonding process. If panels get wet before properly bonding, you must remove the panels, dry both the vehicle and panels completely, and reinstall with the required bonding time of 24–48 hours before allowing water exposure. The cleaning feature of the nano-hold technology material is that the gel-back will turn into a smooth plastic when wet, allowing debris to rinse off easily. Once the material is fully bonded with sealed edges, you can drive through an automatic car wash without issue — but the bonding time is critical for installation success.
COLD WEATHER BEHAVIOR
The Armor will stay bonded down to 15°F provided it is initially installed and set above 55°F. Panels are not rated for freezing rain, melting snow, or wet slush. Armor can be used in winter months as long as the panels remain dry.
HOW TO PREVENT COLD WEATHER DAMAGE
Install in proper temperatures (above 55°F)
Ensure panels stay dry during the first 24–48 hours
Use during winter only when panels remain dry
Avoid freezing rain, melting snow, or wet slush
If storing, keep panels flat (or rolled in carry bag) and indoors

Haven’t installed it yet. Love the look. Will add photos when installed.
This is my second order from Mek Magnets and I've really been happy with both purchases, definitely has saved my Jeep on many trails and many more to come!
Great quality and fit, totally transforms the look of my Jeep. Hopefully you may get more orders from the UK when other Jeepers over here see it. Thany you for the quick service🇺🇸🇬🇧👍
Love the product and will post pictures! However after I installed it and drove it the next day the triangle section between the front passenger and rear passenger door must have fell off. Can I get a replacement? I don’t think I can attach a photo on this survey.
Wow, what a transformation, these look absolutely amazing on my Jeep. Very easy to install and line up. These look so much better in person than they do in pictures.
Bought these to protect the Jeep from the pinstripes on the trails. I have been extremely happy with the durability of them. It’s amazing how they can stay on in the different conditions as you can see from the pics. As far the company goes, Monica and her crew will go outta their way with customer service. You won’t anyone to work with. That’s hard to find nowadays.
I absolutely am in love with mine. I'm a mail lady and put them on my RHD Jeep Wrangler! It make it look so tough and I get SO MANY compliments! She hangs on in all weather when I have had them on so far. Even over night in -30 here in these freezing Minnesota winters. Absolutely will purchase again. GOLD STAR! 😊😊😊😊😊
Great product!!! Fast shipping. I love my MEK Magnets. This is my second set. I loved my first set so much I had to buy a second. They provide great protection on the trails and look amazing as well. So many people ask me about them. When they find out they are removable magnets they are amazed and immediately ask where I got them. 🇺🇸
I just received my Black Flag Mek Magnet and I installed them this morning and then took a drive from SC to Panama City Beach, FL for Beach Jeep Jam 2022, was a little nervous about hitting the highway but the magnets are strong and I did 75mph all the way for 7hr and 40min with no issues. Now I'm ready for some trails!!!
Love these Magnets!! I get stopped multiple times a day with people asking me about it and looking at it and giving me compliments because of these magnets, they really complete my build.
As you can see in the picture, my 2016 JKU Rubicon has lots of aftermarket accessories. This Jeep gets used more than the average jeep with over 4000 miles a year off-roading/overlanding and being on display at Jeep events nationwide for the last few years. People take notice of my Jeep immediately due to its look and are drawn to the design of my magnetic panels. Honestly at shows I probably answer more questions about my magnetic panels than most of the rest of my equipment.
MEK magnetic panels will give you the most bang for your buck by protecting it from what we in AZ call Arizona Pin-striping and while it's not recommended, I've gone down I-17 at 75mph and they still held on tight. Try that with the bargain brand that is a plain old black and unappealing.
My MEK Magnets have protected my rig and kept the sides scratch free making it easier to sell and for more money.
You can bet my new Stingray Gladiator will be sporting the same patriotic design with MEKs new generation protection for JLs and JTs!
Absolutely Awesome! Great quality and easy installation. I've received tons of comments from people who love the look it gives my jeep. I was driving into the woods to retrieve a buck I shot and as I heard the branches scraping the side of the jeep I knew the panels would protect my paint. Not a scratch on the paint and not a blemish on the camo panels. My biggest frustration is figuring out what pattern I want to purchase next for the summer.
Love the look and protection my Jeep gets when I apply my MEK MAGNETS! So many different elements when out on the trails. To know the Jeep is protected and looks great is a win win. Pretty darn cool 👍🏼
I love my Black Flag MEK Armor! I knew they were cool when I ordered them, but was so impressed as to how beautiful they were when I got them installed on my Jeep. I cannot wait to get out on the trails & put them to work (and show them off as well)! 😉
"The Patriot" PPV looks great on my Jeep. The only gripe I have is that the hole is in the wrong place for the trail righted badge and throws that section off. If I had noticed that beforehand I would've have removed my badge.
