looks great guys!. I would suggest keeping up on cleaning the bedliner, If you dont you'll never get all the mud back out.

I've had my TJ done for a couple years, and its mostly brown colored from Mud.

Yup! That's why I did it!

1) Can use Jeep with no carpet without scratching it up
2) Can hose the crap out of the Jeep afterwards

1) Put your tranny in 2nd
2) Pull hard on the shifter knob, it will eventually pop off
3) Put on Pineapple with provided adapter
4) Put one drop of Loctite on each of the 3 tiny grains
5) Tighten told grains
6) Laugh about the faces of people riding with you

I plan on doing this in the spring, but going with the grey. I used this stuff in 1999. I saw an article in Peterson 4wheel just after I had bought a new Ranger. So I tried it. It works great. Two things you need to be mindful of, I found out by experience are:

1. If you missed a spot in the sanding process, it will peel and flake off of that one area. Sanding is a MUST. I went over the bed rails, and that first scuff to the paint of a new truck is tough to do.

2. I can't say for the colors, but the black will dull to a flat color, unless you top coat is with the UV protection stuff. When I did it, that wasn't out on the market.

Since I have the silver paint on my Wrangler X, I thought I would do the sills as well as the rocker panels, to help with the deep scratches. Any suggestions on whether its a good idea or not?

I did this to the 84 CJ that I had before my JK and on a 2000 Tacoma that I had. It works great, you just have top make sure to get enough coats on it, which becomes harder and harder after the first one. I like having it done, but I hate doing the job.
