Put on my Trailmaster 4.5" lift a little over a week ago. Installation was without a hitch and the kit functions and rides great. Again another great product from Trailamster/OrFab.

I don't mean to hi-jack the thread but how do you like it? How thick is it? I want to do mine and I'd like to Linex it but can't afford it right now. I found someone who will Speedline it for $500 but I can't swing that right now either. I'm trying to figure out which DIY brand is best.

This Week
I agonized over what to buy and put on the 07 JKU Rubi I purchased last winter ... took all this time to look and decide ... really wanted to keep everything I purchased made in USA if at all possible, but found that harder than it sounds!
Even the US made bumpers are built with foreign steel ...
Warn Winches are made in China:
My All American Classic Jeep has parts made in Mexico
I guess we really do live in a global economy.
I could go on and on ... but is what I decided on and installed this week:
ARB front and back bumpers (really exceptionally well built and designed)
Attached High Lift Jack to front bumper
1.5" TeraFlex lift, (I wish I would have gone with the 2.5") ...
Smitty 8 winch with synthetic rope
Rugged Ridge front window light bar, ( I am making my own aluminium roof rack and will use this for the front attatchment point)
Aluminium locking gas cap
(OKOLE Heated Seat Covers, still waiting on)

to be honest. go with the raptor spray. you need an air compressor (i dont have it, which is why i used herculiner)
here a good thread

yes, it is $80 for a gallon, which is an awesome price. But its quite shiny, i put it on a bumper a month or so ago, and its lost its gloss a lot, which i like it better not shiny anyways.
BUT, its hard. and rigid. and somewhat sharp. its tough as nails though.
i would HIGHLY suggest raptor spray in liner, its $100 for 4 bottles (more than enough for a 4 door) and you need an air compressor.
it will give you a nice smooth, tough, matte look.

Thanks a lot! That was really helpful! I think I'm sold on the Raptor Liner... I love the texture and it really looks great!

Yes, there's a Co2 just for the brew, and a compressor on the JK for the tires.
