If you wanted to protect it from scrapes then you could just attach some box section with silkoflex, anything stronger and as said the doors aren't strong enough to withstand the pressure.  I'd thought about doing the rear quarters on the RRC, mounting from the rear door catch area and using the end of the bumper, but TBH it's mostly been tree stumps on the sliders that cause problems.
