    Anyone rhino or line-xed the lower part of the rockers? I was thinking about doing from the body line down. Positive/negatives?

    ive thought about it, if you dont have any connections then you should probably do it yourself. the guy at the bed liner place told me it would be close to a grand to do because of the time it would take and the materials.

    yeah my buddy is the Rhino lining guy in town... so I could get a good price there, but you really thing there would be that much time involved? Tape line down the truck, cover everything else, maybe pull the rear bumper...

    the way the guy talked to me about it, to make it adhere really good it would have to be sanded and everything. Now if it is true or not i dono.

    so do you like it? Would you do it again if you had the choice? Also does the color still look black? I'm worried that the first coat of mud I get on it, they'll never be shiney black again... idk screw it haha.

    and yeah you do have to sand it and do prep work but you have to do that with a bed also... there's a whole lot less surface area under the body lines than in the bed though...

    Looks good on the silver taco's... Mine's black so it'll be a little more incogneato :)
    I would do it right below the lower break in the body line and angle in the rear to match the bottom of the tails...

    i love the line-x and i would do it again. when i get the money im thinkin of doing the top half color matched line-x. its easy to clean all i do is wash it then when it drys i spray tire shine on it. look like new then.
