Just think. You will never have to worry about scratching up your rigon the trail. Especially here in WA where we call scratches, NorthWest pin striping.
This FJ was completely Rhino lined in yellow.
The close up shows the rhino lining better.
Just think Corey, you will never have to clay, polish, or wax your rig again.
Great idea. Now whos first to do it on there rig. he he

 

That is one wild looking screamin' mellow yellow rig.

You have seen my yellow rig before right?

Also in orange.

Ahhh....orange. What a great color to have for your school!!!

 

That is pretty cool, does that stuff chip at all? How hard is it to clean?

 

i know a guy that has a 93 yota truck hes had yellow line-x i think painted on it for years now. atleast 4-5 years. heh.

 

I wonder what my dad would think if i just came home one day with black rhino liner all over my truck. I wonder if that would make the truck any stronger agains dents and dings.. I'd imagine it would.

 

Hey Corey,
I like the first one. I have yet to see a 2nd or 3rd gen 4Runner. That would look sweet.

Moomba and one other person has there 1st gen painted yellow. Looks damn kick ass.

 

Mike, that would be Tony's 1st gen.

I saw a yellow 1st gen while leaving Boeing to go home from work one day, but to see a yellow 2nd gen would be cool.
Maybe his was a 2nd gen, I forget

As you know, Jeff's wife's Taco has the front & rear bumpers Rhinolined, and the sliders as well.

I guess you basicaly wash them with a broom to get into the textures.
Be pretty easy to wash your rig that way with one of those power brushes that has water going through the nozzle of the brush.

Speakin' of washes, my rig is due for a bath tomorrow.
It still has all the dirt from our last run on it.

My nephew had his truck bed rhino lined.
We had to haul away some bowling ball size jagged stones and concrete blocks from my moms house with his truck. Needless to say we werent being very careful.
We washed out his bed real good. You couldn't tell that we dumped that crap on his bed. No mares or scratches. Very impressive.

Yes. My rig hasn't been washed since then either. Im going to Tahuya tomorrow so theres no since in washing today.

 

cool stuff! here is some stuff i saw on www.off-road.com called durabak, a do it yourself bed liner. it seems pretty cool.

here

and here


rhino liner, and line-x are tuff stuff. my friend that worked at Star Custom in houston, tx... a custom truck shop, installed linex. he said the govt was investing in Line-x. they did tests where they coated bricks with line-x then made a brick room out of it, and then coated the whole room and walls with line-x. put a bomb of some sort/explosives in it and set it off. the linex protected the structure pretty well... so now the govt is lookin into lining govt buildings with linex. cool huh! imagine our homes lined in line-x in a color of ur choice! expensive though!

 

Yeah my dad has that stuff (Line-x) in the bed of his dodge ram. The stuff has impressed me enough that this is on my list of mods for the beginning of next year.

 

A lot of the folks with dedicated trail rigs go that route. It makes sense.

I intend to have my rocker panels sprayed with Line-X this winter to help cut down on the chipping from gravel kicked up by my tires. I figure a band between six and eight inches will do nicely

 

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but are you talking about the place like the diamondplate is on the FJ40 in this thread... Cause that sounds like a really good idea.

 

Yep, more or less. On the trucks, there is a crease that delineates the rocker panel from the door panel. My plan is to go up to there with Line-X. The area encompasses the area under the door, the door up to that crease and the same area in front and to the rear of the door.

They make some clear, stick on stuff that does the same thing, sort of a condom for your truck. But, the Line-X is more durable and permanent and since I am going with a black and red color scheme, it won't look out of place

 

Yeah that is gonna be the color scheme I am going to try to go with also. I thought about changing the color of my truck but figured that was going to be alot of money wasted on something that would probably get damaged off road. But using line-x for that is a really good idea... post some pics if you get it done I would like to see it.

 

I've sometimes wondered if a protective strip of black Line-Ex on the front of the hood would look good or strange. You know..instead of a hood protector?

I will! It's on the list of things to get done this winter while the high country is snowed in.
