I like the texture of the herculiner better its not as thick so it dont add= weight.=A0 As far as performance i beat the living crap outta mine and it = holds up just fine.=A0 The problem I have found with the rhino lineing is t= hat its about 1/4 of an inch thick and adds about 50 to 100lbs to your jeep= and these days weight equals poor gas mileage.=A0 As far as the rhino line= ing being like a padding its not its very hard so is the herculiner but its= thinner and just as durable and more versatile as to where you can put it.= =A0 I didnt just put it on the floor i wrapped it around the entry and made= my own entry guard and put it on the roll bars and on the lip where the re= ar window channel is so to prevent the paint from comming off from people c= limbing in and out of the back seat.=A0 Some of my friends like to climb in= the back by putting their foot on the top of the tire then steppin in beca= use they find gettin in around the seats to be a bit of a pain. As far as the cost difference its a big diference the local dealer around here wante= d $600 to spray just the floors in my jeep it was gonna cost around 1200 fo= r them to do what i wanted to be done and they wanted me to take out all bu= t the drivers seat.=A0 The herculiner only costs 89.00 for the kit and prob= ally around 10 bucks for tape to mask off the areas you dont want it on and= probally around 10 to 20 bucks for the thinner you need if it thickens or = you get it somewhere you dont want it and it takes about a weekend to do th= e floor and the roll cage and plenty left over for whatever elese you can t= hink to put it on the possibilites where you can put it are endless.=A0I am= on a limited budget and I do all the work myself and maybe enlist a few of= my friends every now and then.=A0 I do have one question for all you jeep = addicts out there is it possible to put an after market shifter in a jeep T=

Replying to: gungfu524 (Jul 01, 2008 12:26 pm) Aftermarket shifter? As in knob? or entire lever? Rhino should not be 1/4" thick. If they applied it that way, they did it WRONG. PERIOD. If I do mine, I'll likely Line-X it, but I'd remove consoles, seats, etc to minimize what the place would have to do. They would basically have to prep and spray. If you herculine it yourself, I sure hope you prepped the metal right and then used xylene to clean it all off. If not, you will be reapplying it VERY soon. -Paul |

| I just joined this great site. I have a problem with my heater/air.cond. When the air is on and hot outside there seems to be quite a bit of hot air that blows thru the lower vent. Any feedback would be appreciated..... | |

| I have looked and asked everyone and everywere( not the jeep dealers yet) and can't find what im looking for!! I need new weatherstripping for the bottom of my back window!! It just goes along the bottom of the window so when you close the little back door the top window goes down so the rain doesn't get in.. I have a 2004 jeep wrangler tJ.. does anyone know were i can get this strip for my back window? It's not the the round rubber that goes in the window .. It's the thick piece that goes on the bottom of the window.. if you have any idea were i can purchase this it would be great!! Thanks. | |

I have a 1995 wrangler and drivers side directional and emergency flasher stopped working. Night running lights still work. I replaced the 2 way bulb, same problem. Passenger side works fine...any thoughts?

Replying to: pparcellin (Nov 08, 2008 7:31 am)  As for your issue, it is probably just a relay that went out. Flasher relays are located on the steering column in a TJ, not sure about the YJ. -Paul |

Replying to: CapnDucky (Dec 16, 2008 5:53 pm) I'd personally go with a cage/rack that mounts OVER the hard or soft top, being supported by the windshield pillars and legs running to the rear tub. Something like this:  or  Pictures from http://www.aztrucks.com/product.asp?pr=Jeep_Congo_Cage_Racks but you can find these in quite a few shops. -Paul |
