Its holding up good, now keep in mind its nowhere as thick as most "bed Liners" but thats what I like about it, i didnt want the real heavy stuff, but the great thing is if i scuff it i just touch it up with a quick spray from the can. Its more of a brush protector....

Some more pics (threads are no fun without pics), got the fender flares on today, they are from Rusty's Offroad 4" flare.
One is of my son, he insisted that I put it up, he has helped his dad alot, and hes all about killing zombies., so he says the jeep has to be big enough to run over zombies while we get mom to safety...

I absolutely love your rig! I just might have to steal your tire/rim combo -- it looks sick!
How was cutting into the fenders? I'm scared to death of doing that to mine...

Also, nice touch on the decal in the back.

Thanx man,

So far I love the tires, with the fenders on the rear there are small spot welds and I just trimmed to them. On the front I think I just marked around 2 1/2 inches all the way around, I played it safe. Looked at it for a long time before I started cutting, just measure twice and take your time, wish I had done it sooner.

A good way to get around those pesky spot welds is to do a cut and fold.. you will need the clearance.. Its easier then trimming your front flares in my opinion and it looks really clean if you take your time.
Here is what i ended up with

No problem, the rear quarter panel cut and fold was kind of a pain but well worth the clearance. In my opinion, it would be well worth the effort to add that to the list as well

Well went out on my father in-laws property and decided to do some trail blazin down 4 wheeler trails, tested out the bed liner on the jeep. It held up really well, you can se all the bark but nothing made it through the liner.

Couldn't resist, had to park next to a stock XJ at the Lowes parking lot.
