Great job on the bumper. Also a nice idea to get it rhino lined. I have my fender flares rhino lined and it gives it more rugged look. I suggest if your going to get the bumper done throw some extra pennies and get the flares done as well, I can't wait to see it completed. Keep up the good work.

Just 2c I've borrowed from others...
When I had my Toyota Tacoma bed lined, I did a lot of research on bedliners, Rhino was last (too soft, unless they've changed their process). LineX and Smith's Ultimate Lining were comparable. Went with LineX. It is tough, has lasted a couple of years with no fading, and no nicks or failures.
