You can use velcro, or rare earth magnets. No photos, but if you do a Google custom search at the top of the page I'm sure you can find some.

I have used standard plastic body mounts ground them flat found the smallest button head screw i can find i think from a axial jk body kit. I drill through the body post and body the size of the screw threads so all u see is the buttonhead.and if u paint the scrwehed the same as the body it all most diappears

Anyone ever tried 3M Dual Lock? Its like a heavy duty velcro, but I'm afraid it would pull the paint off the body when removing it instead of it separating from the other side of the dual lock on the chassis.

I have but I don't think I used enough, or I suck at driving. I used two 2"x1" strips at the bottom of the doors on a wroncho build with a proline F250. "Bouncing" through rocks at reasonable speed would cause it to get loose, and I never expected it to stay on in a roll over. Aside from my gorilla runs it was more than adequate for some trail/g6 stuff.
