I kinda feel like a nerd posting pics of my old XJ since I had to sell it to start my business but I put my heart and soul into building this 2 door and think it should be remembered as it was before it got destroyed.

That's a very cool idea of putting rhino liner and get rid of paint problems...
And it adds toughness to your jeep...
