Even tho the bumps came out a little bigger than I like Herculiner will more than likely protect the top for years to come.

Yea, i'm still old school..but back then we used to paint the axle and all like orange or yellow so I guess i'm trying
Very nice. The PO Line-X'ed my top. It looks very similar.

Does the Line-X on your Top stay clean looking over time? I've considered Line-X along body below molding line and top...just not sure how it would look after a couple of years.
With all the bumps and depressions I'd be concerned that the depressions would fill with dirt, grime, and wax making it difficult to keep clean over time.
Any feedback?

I had roll on bed liner in a truck that I used every day with no cover. Mud, ect. washed right out I used a soft long bristle brush that I used on my painted parts and did the bed last. I'm thinking it looked good for 4 or 5 years thats why I put it on my top. So lower body side should work fine as long as the pannels are preped right before application.
I suppose it must be 2-3 years old now. It might have faded a little, but still looks great. I don't do anything other than hose it off.

Thanks, actually the front is all thats that far!
I don't have to trim the rear openings so as soon as I buff out the rear wheels, put em on and add the trim the sides will be done. Then I can start putting the interior together...I figure about another month and I can go for a ride.

Ok, i'll tell ya. I don't know if im more cheap or broke but I had the 5 lug 17's lying around with the 37" claws on em already so I used wheel converters from 6 lug to 5 lug. It came out just fine.

I wanna run a 17 or larger wheel eventually. Id like to get 13" inch discs to stop these heavy rigs. I thought that was the reason for the larger tires
