How do you protect your paint when off-roading?

Maybe it's just me, but $5000+ seems like a lot of money to spend on vinyl wrap. I understand it takes a fair bit of skill and effort to install, but you could get a whole new paint job for that much money.

Does anyone with a wrap do any offroading? How does the wrap hold up to trees? I'd be concerned that branches would tear through the wrap itself, but maybe I just don't understand the technology fully.

So last weekend I hit some pretty wild trails and had a great time, but the trails got very narrow in places and I ended up with a bunch of scratches on my clear coat. I was able to get them all out with some Scratch-X and a lot of work, but it got me thinking about protection.



There are a bunch of different solutions out there for more common off road vehicles (jeeps) but not a lot that I can find for trucks in general. In fact, it seems like a clear bra might be the only option, based upon my limited research. So, I figured I'd ask here and see what you guys actually use in practice.
