why not buy a gallon of bed liner and paint that on yourself? significantly cheaper, and would be able to do as much or as little as you want, when using a "grit" paint like that its hard to mess up.... I am very "do-it yourself" kind of guy though so that's just me.

granted if money is no problem then go for it. but if not doing the top because of money, grab a gallon or two and get it all covered.

I used raptor liner on my inner tub and sprayed it on myself, while I'm very happy with the results, the lifetime warranty from linex is what's pushing me that direction I have a family owned body shop so spraying it isn't the issue it's the peace of mind

What are your plans for hiding the wires? I had my carpets out to clean after a weekend rolling in sand and I wouldn't mind leaving them out if the wires were hidden and secure.

I used 1/2" wire loom and am happy with the results, some have added 7' to the wires and run them up the b pillar and back the roll cage but I'm not much on splicing factory wiring harnesses! I'll try to post pics

So today I got some really cool stuff in the mail today, crawler concepts inner fenders, corbeu harnesses, and my badge of honor from windrock! Still waiting on some more parts to trickle in then it's time to start reassembly

have you noticed any noise increase after you removed the carpet and sprayed the interior? Looking at doing similar....
