Default Herculiner

Hey does anyone have any pics of there rigs done up with Hurculiner exteriors and does anyone know how much weight something like that would add and if Anyones had any problems as far as weight and things of that nature. It's something I've been thinking of doing for quite some time but it's my daily driver and I've been told it kills your gas milage and she already sucks it down as is. I know that the interior will be done I just ripped up my carpet and was not surprised to find major rust problems so to keep that from happening I'm gonna line the inside so if it does at a substantial amount of weight and could potentially cause problems it would be great to know now before I have a heck of a time trying to take it off

If you buy a gallon of Hurculiner and use it all just expect that weight added to your rig.

I did the windows down on my old grand cherokee and it worked great i had no problems and it held up well.

Sweet thanks for the input. Have any of you or anyone else tried by chance painting over it? I like my red jeep and would prefer to keep her red but will have to deal with it being black for the liner if I have to. I know there's a red liner but its more expensive and harder to find up here in AK.

the LineX folks have colored spray if your jeep is the plain red LineX might match up, some of the DYI stuff comes in colors but not red that I've seen

I used truck bed coating from spray cans and it looks good on my comanche! Still need to finish a few spots.

As far as colors, I've heard of guys just putting on the bedliner then spraying some normal auto paint of any color over it thus keeping the texture
