Line-X on my JK

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys! I know I wasn't the first to do this mod, but it's probably the best change I've made to my JK.
My shop charged me on the high end of the spectrum, $850. Dr.McNinja's right, you can find shops (like Rhino Lining in my hometown) that will do the work for $400, but make sure you're informed. Sometimes you do get what you pay for.
Example: I had a quote from another Line-X dealer that was about $250 less than Line-X Omaha! So why did I go with them when I could have had it done less expensively elsewhere?
In short, attention to detail.
Cheers,
Sarge

In short, attention to detail.
- Line-X Omaha stripped the JK for me. They don't spray up to consoles for instance, they remove them. They remove brake and gas pedals. They remove wiring looms. They scuff, clean and prep the work surface.
- They used a pneumatic sander and utility knives to excise the myriad layers of irregular caulk and sound deadening material in my JK; while this is mostly an aesthetic matter, spraying over all that caulk doesn't lend it self to as nice a finished product IMO.
- After spraying, they dropped a small amount of a liquid agent into various areas in the floor of the Jeep. It was in these areas they drilled small chamfered holes through the body to allow better drainage; what's nice about this is it's custom to your individual JK dependent on lift, rake, etc. (obviously, no two Jeeps sit exactly the same).
- After sale service. This is a big shop run by a manager who knows what he's doing. Solid customer service. And he drives a lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee, so he's "one of us" in a manner of speaking. The fact I know his shop will be around for warranty work should I need it is comforting when smaller shops peddling less durable, less expensive truck bed liner services are closing.
Cheers,

I like the texture of Line-X better than most other spray in jobs I have seen. Yours is one of the best tub jobs I have seen so far. Well worth the extra coin in my opinion!

Line-X Omaha has had my JK for four days.

I just got it back. The wait has been worth it.
Aside from the aesthetic, toughness, permanence and ease of cleanup, an unexpected byproduct of the modification is much reduced road noise. Gone are the tin can vibrations and loud noises from the drive train.
Here are some photos, hope y'all approve.
