 Rhino Jeep... the toughest paint job around!« »

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.





Driving is easy... it's amazing how many people are so bad at it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes Martha, you can get your new 2010 Toyota 4Runner with a 4-cylinder. As long as it's 2WD. And as long as it's with an old 4-speed automatic.
