OOOPS... My bad!

That DARK BLUE looked like black on my monitor, until you pointed it out to me.
That is STILL a bad-*** looking rig!
BTW, one of my all-time favorite color schemes for an XJ is Liberty Blue, either with Grizzlies or black steelies.

I'm leaning towards the herculiner route when I get the time and money and right weather. I'm not sure what to do in the door jambs though. Any thoughts?

Here's mine... I have since sprayed the rockers. I'm considering doing the doors as well... almost want to do the whole thing...


It's that Wal-Mart liner brand. Holds up great.

I would paint them the same color as the hurculiner. It takes more time to paint the jambs but is worth it, and to me if I see a rig and its not done then I know its a hurried job.

remember the bedliner is all pockmarked, so it is next to impossible to get perfectly clean after a year or so. it WILL end up absorbing most of the dirt etc. and just holding it in.

I would definetly countinue on and do the doors. How do you like you BB? I've been looking around for a 2" lift but not sure whick route to go. I'm thinking about just getting the heavy duty leafs from quadratec and some spacers from upfront. I carry a decent amount of weight in the back and sometimes tow. How do you like the bedliner as paint?

Wrecked - I like my Tera-Flex BB. Nice greaseable shackles that should last a while. I also got some RC nitro monotubes recently as well. Ride is suitable to my needs. The bedliner was definitely worth the work.

Not a big fan of the rhino liner on the exterior, but to each his own...

I like the olive drab idea, or a sand color similar to the military hummers.

I've always wanted a forest service green cherokee (with the door emblems of course) lifted with some meats. I think folks would look twice at that,

Dang 99XJdad I didn't even recognize your rig, I think the last time I saw a pic was before the BB or the tires. It's looking really nice man, great work. But I second wrecked's opinion on continuing onto the doors. I have my lower quarters done with bedliner now, but I plan on continuing up to that bodyline when i trim for new tires. Keep up the good work on that rig!
