I still got 3/4 of a gallon with only two coats on it. 45 bucks is for a gallon I can't imagine using the whole thing. I plan on running a rasor blade between the tape and rhino before I peel it off.

Does that bed liner have the ground up rubber bits in it, or is like thick black paint?

How do you like the Hi-country D-ring mounts? are they beefy? I just orderd a set this week and im waiting for them to show up.

THe D-rings look pretty Beafy. Easy to install also.

THe stuff i used on the jeep had lil plastic pellets in and black paint. Basically all there seams to be to it. I like it though. I have it in the back of my jeep too and it is pretty rugged.

The trick to eliminating that little problem is to remove the tape as soon as you are done painting it. Don't let it dry or the paint becomes coated over the tape.

I vote to paint 'em black, believe it or not! When I herc'd my XJ I peeled off the tape before it dried and I had no issues. It came off nice and clean. I just recently painted the faded herc with some Krylon Fusion Satin Black and it came out real nice.

I just can't see my self painting my wheels BLACK. But we will see. Hmm I left the tape on all night. I will definitely need a rasor to get it all back off. I got one more coat to put on this morning so we will see how it goes. I am gonna need true blue to hit me up with some more photoshopping before i Make a final answer on this.

Still havn't took this Jeep wheeling Dude are you in a position yet to be able to go on a small trip one day. I am ready to wheel it man.

Well, I'm thinking of doing a little more work to the XJ so I can do some mild wheeling. I won't be buying any parts or anything until Oct., so maybe the end of Oct. or Nov. we can hit up HNH.

My rockers are also almost completely rusted through. How much do you think it would cost to have someone make some for me?

Or should I just buy pre-made ones?
