I wouldn't do it. I bedlined the bed of the '03 Ram I had before I bought my Jeep and after 3 years it was gray instead of black and getting dirt stains out required simple green, a power washer, and a huge scrub brush.

The dealer is called Lonestar conversions in Denton.. It's different man but I think it would lose the look of the shiny clean bedline after playing in the mud

And imo I think sahara tan bedline or mabey gray would look awesome most other colors I imagine would fade and look like holy hell. But I would like to see some pics as well if anyone has some.

I'd say do it up to about 5 -8" from the bottom to above the doors. Like rock guards to see how it handles mud and cleaning first and then bed line the whole thing if it lasts. I would hate to do it and it just fade in 6 months or a year or be spotted with bits of mud.

If you get it done, just be sure to get the kind that wont fade. I think it would look mean as hel but the only thing is if you ever wanted go back.... I dont think that would be an option. Resale might have a more narrow crowd

To the OP...... I read on another thread with line-x you can get a coating/mix where it won't fade as many have mentioned(fading in time).
And invest in a good power washer to keep the mud and dirt from sinking in. I say go for it!!
Good luck.

If you use your Jeep as a DD, I would reconsider. All the Jeeps I've ridden in that were linexed or similar are very loud from removing all the carpeting and sound insulation. But if that doesn't bother you, go for it! I would not skimp on price here. Go with the highest quality stuff possible to prevent wear, fading, and peeling.
