Sounds good. Just gonna put my input about something if you don't mind. Monstaliner would not be great thing to put on the bottom of your doors. I have monstaliner. It's okay. Still on the hood and fenders but not the bottom of the doors or rockers. I'd advise getting it PROFESSIONALY done. This is if you wheel it. If it stays on the street then it'll be fine man. Ill take pics if mine later. Horrible lol. All these DIY brands are not as tough as they seem. They work but compared to real Bedliner it's junk. I have speed liner on my bumper. Instead of chipping like monstaliner it stays together. Also monstaliner scratches which defeats the whole purpose of Bedliner but whatever. I've had to redo monstaliner twice now and if I would have done it right and got it done i would have actually saved money. If you sand it all down and tape it off, you can take it to a dealership and get it done for a decent price and you'll never worry. Not hating but want you to think it through. (Also yes I did prep everything right) lol I did my bumper and that turned out great.

Rear bumper, Rear coil conversion, Inside/ouside roll cage, Bigger engine/bigger front axle so i can run bigger tires, Atlas transfer case
Also I need to put the 35's back on before hitting any trails.. the 33's tread wrights are awesome on the icy/snowy roads but I miss the ground clearance/ think it looks dumb with a 6.5" and 33's lol
(not sure why it looks pink in this one lol)
Currently I have some frame stiffeners and a putco wiring harness I need to throw in... I just replaced the ball joints and am lacking motivation for now haha. I cant decide if I want to cut the stiffeners for the rock sliders and the IRO subframe and weld them to it or put it on and then atttach them to it.

The hood and fenders hold up well. But rust went through it on my rockers and then I nailed it on a rock lol and the rest just chipped off. There are a lot of weak points around these areas which would be best is to get that professionally done. I honestly don't think it'd cost a lot to get your rockers and bottom of the doors rhino lined. And you'd never have to worry. I have scraped my speed liner off. But with force. I've run into rocks, and a trailer ( loading the jeep up and didn't stop soon enough so I hit the gooseneck) and it didn't chip off it stays bonded together. Well worth the money.
