I used Monstaliner on my last Jeep. Was very happy with it. Pretty easy to apply and turned out great. Comes in cool colors too. The orange color would look badass on a white or black Jeep I think. Here's a pic of mine.

Awesome! Can't wait to do mine. Looks like a newer XJ like mine. Any issues with extra heat / noise? Did you put the carpet back in?

I bought a pistol, bead-locks, a winch, had 2 acres of land surveyed and cleared, and paid off 7k worth of bills and I have a little bit more left over to put towards the down payment on a house.

This was actually my 2000 TJ. I did not put the carpet back in. I liked being able to get it dirty and then just hose everything down afterwards to clean it out.

The transmission hump does get pretty hot but that doesn't really matter. Didn't notice any noise difference, but in a TJ with a soft top it's so loud anyway it would have been hard to tell.

Oh and if you order Monstaliner, I highly recommend their Chassis Saver too. It's this really thick paint/epoxy that you can paint on your undercarriage, suspension parts, whatever. Stops and prevents rust and makes everything look nice and new.

Why did you overpay your taxes that much?
