Default colored liner

I have decided to line the tub of my JKU with monstaliner, I have a 13 in white, and I love the look of the black liner, but have been considering doing white for better surface temp when the top is off, is there going to be that big of a differance or am i overthinking this?

I don't think there would e that much of a difference, it would show up a lot more stuff than black would too probably

I did blue line-x in mine. The color definitely stands out. Not sure if heat would be much better.

I'm not sure how the monstaliner is, but I have read lots of posts saying black stays pretty cool with the raptor liner and most spray-on's. one guy said his kids get in and out barefoot all the time and heat isn't an issue. White would just show dirt so bad!

Maybe try to find somebody near you with their truck bed lined and see how it feels in the sun?

I have black monstaliner and my jeep sees a whole lot of sun so I speak from experience. I can confidently say that you will never notice a temperature difference over the white liner. It would all come down to what you think looks best.

Yeah, what he said. Lol. I'd steer clear of white just because it will look so dirty so easy. I'd go either black or maybe a dark grey/charcoal?

But it's your jeep and do what you think you'd like best! That's all that matters

Where did you find the line x and how much did you use.

Line-x of west fort worth did it for me. To me it was worth it to have it done professionally. They can make just about any color you could imagine and has warranty for fading or chipping

How did you remove the heat shield goo or did you pay them to do it? Was it real expensive?
