Replacing Carpet with LINE-X
With mud, water, and everything else in-between, the thought of replacing the carpet upholstry with LINE-X has come to mind. Local LINE-X dealer says they would do the job for around $500 if I were able to do some of the prior things like removing seats and carpet...good idea?

There are lots of threads dedicated to this subject, I would do some research here. I did this to my JK and my buddy's TJ over teh course of 2 and half days. Cost us roughly $300 to do both. The longest time is the prep and take that into account. Good prep = a good finish.
There are roll on styles, rattle can styles and spray on kits that require a compressor. We use the Upol Raptor liner and it is awesome. I beat the crap out of it and it has done me well. That kit is a spray on style.
I learned A LOT about my jeep by ripping it apart and putting it back together. I am glad I did it for that reason as well.

Did the Herculiner roll on in my TJ and was very happy with the results. As stated before prep is the key. Must scuff all the metal well to get good adhesion, that was the most time consuming aspect of the job. The stuff smells bad though, the stink seemed to have lingered for a long, long time after though. Very easy diy project. I purchased the Herculiner from Auto-zone.

Do any of the spray ons, roll ons, etc explain how to remove everything (seats and carpet I suppose) and how to not screw up any of the hosing and/or wiring before applying the lining solution?

No theyre all more of a general purpose type thing not specifically for Jeeps. I helped a budy Herculine a YJ and it was really easy. Anything you dont want to get the material on just put a plastic bag around it and blue tape the edges. Thick butchers paper will help covering areas too. I would recomend wraping up everything, its a lot easier to take that stuff off then a "whoops wast really paying attention and now its somewhere I dont want it" removal.
