I put the roll on bedliner in mine. It was the plasticoat or duplicolor whatever it is, I got it at walmart. Gallon Jug was about $39 - $49 if memory serves. In my opinion, Jeeps don't need no stinkin carpet anyways, It's nice to just be able to pull the drain plugs and wash out the inside.

I've seen Wranglers Rhino lined in and out. the Exterior is color matched to the factory color. it kind'a looks ok, but not that great. i would imagine it would be hard to clean when you go mudding.
T-rav, thanks for the comment.

They spray pretty much everything with a polymer based rubber like Rhino lining or Line-X and it doesn't look too bad.
I wouldn't do it personally, but just depends on what you plan to do with your jeep.

I have seen inside and out.Most that I have seen on the outside only did the bottom 6" to a foot of the body.Helps stop scratches from flying rocks.I have also seen a few bumpers done that way.Doesnt look the nicest on the outside but if you hardcore offroad may be the best choice.

Iv heard doing the outside is a bad idea its hard to clean.
thats looks great how is the heat transfer i am going to to get a quote tomorow on the roof and the lowers kick panels i will let every one know the price but thats looks great good thinking. Would be nice to have the hole car done. I had a 88 toyota 4x4 p/u that my friend sprayed the hole truck with the QWIKLINER it was great off road never could scratch it only chiped one time when i slid in to a tree on the side of the bed it really didnt chip just cracked. But after that he sold the gun to spray it.
I recently spray bombed my 89 cherokee with undercoating. I did the whole body with it and it came out pretty good. It has that rough texture and dull finish to it. And the realy nice thing is that it goes on perfectly....you don't get any of that streaking from regular spray paint.....and it couldn't be easier to touch up if it gets scratch.
I think Qwikliner is best in Spray on Bedliner. Thanks.:???:

I'm down here in S. FL( no not Miami) We have a meet and greet every other week at a car show. Anyways, This father and son bought a 10 yr. old XJ for a project, they took all the trim off and Hurculined the entire body. It looks like a red chreokee until you get closer. To each his own. To clean it after mudding would not be fun.

last year i had this jeep. it was a 97 and had been lined for 6 years when i got it and still looked pretty good. it was done by a local company named superior lining. its sprayed on like rhino but just not the big name. he two toned it and even gave it a bra :lol:. The entire jeep was sprayed; inside outside inner fenders, under carriage. i dont remember it being real hard to clean and i got a lot of attention on it.

Personally, I would love to line the underside, frame ad tub of the Jeep, but that is as fr as I would take it. Also, consider that if you do the hood, the liner will also work as an insulator, making the underhood temps rise, creating problems like cracking vacuum lines, etc. Also, it would be interesting to know (1) if the color fades, (2) how much weight will it add to the Jeep, and (3) I understand some of these coating can catch fire (another reason not to paint the hood!).
Anyway, I saw this at the Line-X dealer where I did my front bumper last week...
I think it is TOO much liner, but to each his own...

I don't know if you want to go this route but this is what I'm planning to do for my rig.
For the most part my rig still looks pretty good and I'm all about things looking clean when they need to, so here's what I decided to do. I'm gonna spend a couple hundred bucks and order a one-piece formed carpet to replace the old carpet, which is still in decent shape but definitely worn. While I'm waiting for that to ship, I'm gonna Rhino-line the entire floorpan (leaving holes for the drain plugs, of course.) Then the carpet will go over top of it, giving me the best of both worlds. I can just take the carpet out for those URE weekends or those planned all-day mud runs. After the weekend (or day) is over and the Jeep is clean, I can just pop the formed carpet back in for those times when I actually want women to think I drive a NICE Jeep :lol:
Just something to think about.
It's actually really easy to swap the carpet in and out after you've done it a few times. You take out the seats and it just goes right in or comes right out. It takes about 30 minutes if you've done it before and you know what needs to come out.

I would not mind doing the tub and even the underside and frame; but the body is just too much for me.
Sine, I was thinking about the same approach as you are, and have not yet ruled it out... But for now it is too expensive, and I may be running out of time to do it because I am moving to Central America in a couple of months.

Damn... well see, I was running the costs the other day. The carpet will cost $150-$225 depending on who I get it from. I'm definitely going for the single-piece molded carpet kit because right now I have the multi-piece velcro system and it's a *****. As for the liner... that's the tough decision. I can get a professional Rhinoliner coat for around $250 I estimate. Or, I can just buy a sprayer and some drums and do it myself for under $100. I'd rather go with the professional coat but I also like saving money because I'm a cheap bastid
Either way, the entire project should not cost more than $500. I'm about to spend $600 on a Jeeputer setup w/ a touchscreen (self-built, self-installed) so I guess it's not a huge deal right now.
