Nice rig. I've been kicking around the bed liner two tone but I just can't pull the trigger. Maybe I'll keep an eye on yours and see how it looks after some time in the sun.

Thanks for joining.

Ya I doubted the two tone but linex backs their warranties pretty well and it was going to cost me 3800 to do a descent paint job. Why not linex then?

I had Line-X in a truck years ago and I think it held up pretty well if I remember right. It was in the bed though so I didn't pay that close of attention to it. How much did that run you if you don't mind me asking?

I'll probably use the Duplicolor that I've been using on my bumpers and sliders so it will match. I screwed up the paint a little taking off the trim and pin stripes but the worst was when I found where they repaired some rear end damage all the way on to the back door without pulling the moldings. When I took them off the clear started flaking. I started to wet sand it to feather it out and of course it went through the paint on the "I just need a little more" last stroke.

Ouch!! Well my body was in rough shape and the paint was gone so it was either a new paint job or linex! The total cost was 3500
And they did the inside floor pans. It's a little cheaper if you opt out of color but I wanted some contrast plus black gets hot! I think the linex will hold up well out on the trails but only time will tell!

Cool. I didn't catch that the whole thing was line-x top and bottom. Nice job.
