I sprayed my 92 with herculiner, looks good and will hopefully help prevent rust.

All I can say is do the prep work right, sand the top coat of paint off, take it down to bare metal where you have any rust. It took me 3 long days to do the prep work and liner.

Oh, watch your knuckles afterwards, mine is now nicknamed the knuckle bleeder.

I don't really care for the red/black combo but like the bed liner fad even less. Bed liner fades sucks to clean and is a ***** to remove if you ever decide too.

I've seen some top/bottom combo colors I like...Not so much of red/black combo...But the one with the molding removed looks 10x better..

Yeah, the bed liner route sucks!! It looks good for awhile, but then it is a pain to clean, it fades, and is hard to touch up, plus one of the best things going for the Cherokee is it's light weight. Depending on how much bed liner you use the weight increase can hurt mileage and wheeling ability.

Cleaning is easy as hell, mild detergent and pressure washer.

I don't imagine removing it is an option, would take a lot of grinding. Not something I plan to do.

That's what power washers are for.
