Herculiner, Duraback, etc...
Anyone have experience with any of these products? I was thinking of doing the inside of my tub with one of these and was looking to do it myself rather than pay someone. It's more about having fun doing it than the money so I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest product.
I read somewhere that Duraback uses shredded tires in it's product which results in small strands of metal which could potentially rust. Since I picked up the jeep I haven't really had anything but a bikini top on it so I don't think that's the best option but that's only what I've read and I don't know anyone who actually used it.
So, what have you (or someone you know) used and how did it work out? Did the product you used stand up to the use?

I have my tub herculined, did it myself in a weekend. Its been over a year and it has held up great.
Its all about the prep. If you follow instructions closely whlie doing that, you should be all set. For under $100, and a little work, I think its a great idea.

Well, I've seen rockdale's interior (picked my words carefully) and I'm going to do the same thing. When the weather starts to get warmer in 6 months or so, I'm going to herculine the bed and put on my lift.....in theory.
Anyway, if you are going to do it, you should do it yourself. Buying a jeep and having other people do things to it just isn't as fun as messing it up yourself.
Now, if you need help, I'm sure there are plenty of people around here willing to give a hand, but don't pay someone to do something to your jeep. You should be the only hands that rub that biach to make her happy!

I plan on doing most work to the jeep myself but didn't want someone to say "take it to a shop and have them spray in rhino lining."
The only thing I know for sure I can't do is weld. I don't mind picking up a welder and learning but when I get new axles I think I'd be better off finding someone else to weld things up for me.
Good thing you're watching those words since I do owe you one now...

Good thing you're watching those words since I do owe you one now... Josh Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not affriad of you. JeepGod gets me good all the time, so I have to watch my words so he stays off my back. But that's ok, I've got a few good shots on him too. |

Not afraid of me? But I'm a big mean guy!
Just kidding, I' m pretty laid back and can take quite a razzing. At work we do this same type of stuff to each other all day long. It makes the day go by faster.
BTW, has anyone used a liner other than black? I'll likely go with the black but was wondering how the white looks after some use.

I would stay away from the lighter colors. You'll show age much faster because it gets dirty really fast and eventually you will grind in the dirt and won't be able to get it out.
But if you must do colors, all they do is add a dye to the mix. It's the same chemicals and the same lining, but it's a different color.

herculine my tub... never... I sat down and did some math.. It works out to be cheaper for me (and the body on my jeep is well over ten years old) to buy Aluminum body when the factory steal body rusts out. won't require paint and by that time the price should come down by at least $100

rockdales got it on the money por15 the frame. hurc is cool for not worrying about water inside but from carrying all my tools around on the trail it has worn out. but id do it again if i had to. just dont be surprised if you poke through in high wear spots every now and then.

You can paint over rust.P=paint O=over R=rust you need tp make sure its degreased, and sprayed with their metal ready spray, then just paint it. check out www.porstore.com or something like that. |
