Big Sur trails in the EarthRoamer for a quick LineX body armor scratch test

  • We have been without our EarthRoamer for several months going through various gyrations to get the LineX body armor done in these crazy COVID times. We have been in serious camping withdrawals, so we took the first opportunity we had to do a short weekender to the Big Sur coast and explore some trails in the mountains of the Los Padres NF above it. Our goal with the LineX body armor was to protect the vehicle, so we can enjoy stress free backcountry travel on tighter trails without trimming (except for the big branches) and worrying about body damage. Mission accomplished I think...this XS350 is incredibly tough stuff. I'm not crazy about the abrasive texture of the coating...it's like covering your vehicle in 50 grit sand paper. We raked against plenty of tough Manzanita branches and Ceonothus on the 22 miles of trails and the only marks on the vehicle was the bark we sanded off the brush on the sides of the trails. I'm sure we will get used to the 50 grit and it was sooo great to just enjoy the trail and not trim!

    I knew I noticed this driveway I used to always deliver to you guys for fedex ground and I would always look at your earthroamer and ask if your dogs bites!!! Lol

    I was lucky to live in big Sur in the late '60's, way more crowded now! Hwy. 1 is not a drive for nervous types.

    Been up both those ridges in my Sprinter but avoided branches. Once I almost got stuck up there after a little rain came through.

    Didn't have a walk-around after the test drive, but I assume no damage? That stuff looks great!

    Did you install the frame reinforcement around the rear shock?
    Our caravan chums broke their ER frame in Baja.
    ER shipped a whole rear frame panel to weld into place over the original frame.

      sorry for the late response...I have been mostly on IG these days but starting to post on YT again. I bolted the frame reinforcement kit from Kelderman onto the frame near the rear shocks
