    I spotted this gem at a used car dealership and had to share. I figure there are a number of advantages...

    1. Hides dings and scratches.
    2. No money wasted on wax.
    3. Crumbles sponges after one washing.
    4. Touch ups can be done with tar, asphalt, or even oil sludge.
    5. Lights a match on the first pass.
    6. Distracts potential buyers from the cracked windshield.

    That texture can't be any good for aerodynamics

    Sprayed it right over the badges. Quality job.
    Take that, lollipop man!

    It's all fun and games until some water gets trapped between the lining and the metal.

    I've seen suzuki samurais done over with this treatment and the only thing holding them together was the rhino lining.

    I hear that stuff is sprayed on army vehicles as a sort of primary blast shield.

    Is that ever a concern in a Cherokee?

    The funny thing is this is not that uncommon up here in Washington.
    I have a buddy that did that to his Samurai on the Inside and Outside so he could just spray the whole thing off.
    There was also a Baja that used to go to the local shows sprayed like that too.

    I hear in a pinch that the 4.0L will actually run on ground up rhino lining as fuel.

    That's what I was thinking. It's gotta be pretty damn top heavy now.

    Sometimes it helps to mix it with whatever industrial solvent's handy, so it'll flow better.

    Once upon a time I got a quote to Line-X the Porkchop. Fenders, quarters, rockers, and tailgate were $600 if I taped it myself.

    That being said, I likey a lot. Durable as all hell, and who cares about a scratch? It may be the only thing nearly as durable as the almighty 4.0.

    Actually taking into account the high resistance to air factor of the "normally painted" Jeep and accounting for the turbulance created by the new "rhino" surface the loss of aeordynamics calculates to about a loss of .35 mpg at highway speeds of 70 mph. Well, according to the "math" that is.

    how about fixing the cracked windshield with it! Gosh it looks like it was left under mount ST Helens.....horror!

  22. 05-01-2008 07:45 PM #22
    i hope this doesn't catch on as the next "murdered out" trend!

  23. 05-01-2008 07:47 PM #23
    I know I have seen this before, on a full size pick-up. I think it was a dodge, or maybe a GM 3500... it was a dually 4x4 with stacks comming up from the bed.

    It was crazy-awesome.

    Ugly as sin, but a I like it nonetheless. Put some armor across those windows and a cow catcher in front and you've got yourself a fully functional anti-zombie vehicle.

    This is as great as the Tiburon that used to run around here in salt lake that had a Full Clear Bra. i mean every exterior square inch

    army stuff is CARC paint (Chemical Agent Resistant Coating)

    it's anti chemical and biological weapons paint

    it's rough stuff, but not like rhino liner

    That's awesome. I've heard of people doing that before. I think the overspray and the fact he sprayed over the badges makes it even better! If its painted like that your taking it out on the trails to get bashed up, who cares what it looks like

    Where's that Subaru WRX painted with bedliner?

    Or "Rhino'd Out"?
    My brother bought a streetbike that the PO did Rhino Liner all over. Talk about a waste... The Jeep looks good though!

    Love it! Professionally done, Jeep could charge me extra for it and I'd happily pay up!

    That would be cool on a rock crawler, not a stock jeep.
