Good job man. I recently used monstaliner on my jeep xj. Great stuff.

Here's a couple pics of the finished product:





Pics make it look glossy, but it's not. Just a really bright/sunny day and glare, plus a crappy phone camera...

I got pics from you before I did this project - I'm bringing my next one to you and letting you do the work next time!

Looks good!

That looks pretty cool. Do you have any pics of the texture up close. I've been thinking about doing this to a toyota but wasn't sold on it yet. I did a cj7 in a durabak coating a few years ago. It looked cool but it was rough as heck. Almost like a 20 grit sand paper. I had heard the monstaliner stuff didn't have the rubber chunks In it and you could change the texture with higher or lower air pressure. Here's the cj I did.

the monstaliner turns out looking like orange peel, smooth to the touch

Sorry guys, I haven't updated this in a while. It's back at the ranch since early September when we went dove hunting. I wanted to take some pics of it after we got it back out there, but we woke up to rain. Our dirt at the ranch turns to grease when it rains & by the time I remembered to take pics, it was covered in that greasy mud.

I didn't get 100% of what I set out to do done, but its done enough for now. Obviously, the Bedliner is done. Before going back to the ranch, the new duck seats had to be done as did the rear bumper. I took the original rear bumper off & tossed it when I did the Bedliner. I figured getting the back pipe bumper would be quick & easy. WRONG! Those Ranch Hands are expensive for a reason. It took a lot more time than I expected to get the rear bumper done, so I opted out of the front pipe bumper build for now since time was running short.

The new duck seats came out pretty good. I scored a rear 3rd row seat out of a 99 Suburban off Craig's List for cheap and got to work. I built a frame that's supported on the floor of the bed and the bed rails, built a mount for the seat and standing/walking platform (the seat itself is removable so it doesn't sit out in the elements while we aren't there), built an elevated cooler basket/extra storage behind the seat, then made some custom beverage holders that won't break and added a 50" LED light bar to the top above the cab. The best part of the seat is the middle passenger seat belt is still useable - perfect place for my little helper to ride safely. BTW - he made a trip for some dove killing last weekend and loved the ride from above. I couldn't hardly pry him off the seat, even when it was parked. Made all the hard work, sweat and effort worthwhile.

We will be headed back out to the ranch in a couple more weeks for some bow hunting hopefully, and I'll take some finished-for-now pics to show it all off.
