    Thank you!

    Grizzly grip. Ordered it out of Florida. I thought the light color would be cooler in the summer time. Holding up pretty well so far.

    Herculiner looks great the day you finish it..and ever there after holds every bit of dust dirt and sand that comes along. Hard on feet and fingers too.

    I'd go with simple gloss paint, probably not black though.

    rustolium will where off really fast. +1 on bed liner. my uncle used hurculiner on a couple truck beds and it held up well and i plan on using it on my cj. im not into driving bearfoot so i dont care if its rough but i think you can use a paint brush instead of the roller for a smoother finish.

    When I had the spray in liner installed in my 2005 Dakota in 2006, the guy offered to do the inside of my JEEP tube too.
    Probably should have done that.

    Durabac, use their smooth coating. It has no grit / rubber in it. Nice and slick and protects well, but can be slippery when wet, a better alternative IMHO to most ruck bed liner products for inside cabs / tubs. Used it on my J10.

    x4 on the bedliner. I used superliner brand bedliner. It is made to be tinted with paint; most use black, but I mixed it with the actual paint the jeep was painted. If you have a big compressor that puts out a constant 90psi, you can do it yourself. I used a Harbor Freight popcorn texture gun with the small diameter tip and this is how it turned out. I did the inside floor and underneath including the fender wells with 2 gallons. This brand is more rubberized with no grit and it's pretty smooth and doesn't hold dirt at all

    Here's a closeup of the texture with that small tip

    Here's what it looks like color matched. It's not exact but then I have a light color and the bedliner is already an amber color before you put in the tint. It's just a shade darker

    Wow! That looks awesome. If i ever find a tub worth a darn, that's what I'm going to use. I think the spray-on approach makes a big difference.
