RE: Selling the Jeep (ouch)
I'm in the same predicament, or sort of anyway. Why pay for paint if it's going to get screwed up anyway? I think it's really just a matter of how scratched it would really get and how pretty you want the jeep to look (i've seen terrible rhino lining jobs and OK jobs). The body on my jeep is not really worth painting, so i'm just using black primer to touch up the scratches for now. To help you decide, which do you think will be happier with two years from now: your jeep with two year old paint with x amount of scratches and rust, or your jeep with rhino lining and no scratches and no rust. One concern is the rhino lining might never come off if you decide to paint it later on. I just don't like how rhino liner can be bumpy, but it won't be any bumpier than muddy paint. Soooo, it's a judgement call. If you end up going with the rhino lining, let us know how it turns out.

RE: anything else?
i like line x if your gonna do something of that nature to the outside of your vehicle, rhino lining seems kind of thick and gloppy, at least the job that a buddy of mine had to done to his interior was like. line x has a smaller texture and seems to be tougher

Re: RE: ICE AND SNOW FOR A TJ?
a good spray tech can do any texture you want. anywhere from real fine to real rough and anywhere in between. at least with line-x you can. It's a little tougher with rhino and speedliner. line-x is high pressure and high temperature. it comes out of the gun at 1,500 psi and 160 degrees. and dries to the touch in 3 seconds. After you get it muddy pressure washing would wash it right off.

There's also a guy in Wichita that has rino'd his whole Jeep in black. Looks pretty good, I think. Who washes the mud off their Jeep? If I spend three hours getting muddy, by golly, I'm not spending another three hours washing it off! That's what rain is for, right?
Ok, ok....I confess, I have washed my Jeep after mudding before....only because I had packed so much redjaw clay under it that the tires started rubbing. Somewhere around 750 pounds of mud, if I remember right. I weighed my Jeep before and after mudding to get that figure.

I saw a rhino lined cherokee in red. It looked good, the bumpy texture really stands out, it gives it a different look. It also had removable doors which is very cool.
