Been piling up parts for the WJ knuckle swap and I'm at around $700 so far and I still need ball joints and brake hoses. I'm going with Kore3 Ind. for the brake hoses, they'll build me a set of 5 SS hoses for $160. I need the 2 additional for the 8.8 discs that are going on the D44. The axle builds are gonna be the death of me, my indecisiveness is on par with Aaron's when it comes to how I want (more like can afford) to lock the diffs. I've had 4.56's sitting in the box for months. I want it to be a one and done build.

Normally I would agree with you. Like for doing the interior, etc. But when doing:
a) a small project that does not require $130 kit
b) a part that is going to take abuse and will need touched up.
In the case of just a bumper...Rustoleum in a can is the way to go. Cheap, works well, and infinitely repairable.
I myself have a Raptor liner kit waiting for use...so I am not at all against it. But I will not line my bumpers and sliders with it.
