Line-X CJ Tub & underside engine hood
I just got my Jeep back from the local Line-X shop. I decided on Line-X
rather than Rhino or other linings based on recommendations from friends and this group. I had been running without carpet for about a year and the inside paint was looking rather worn. I am really pleased with the results. The shop charged me $600 for the tub and $100 for the underside of the hood. I took everything out of the tub and flat towed it to their shop. It took them about a day to finish. If I wanted any other color but black they charge an additional $200. I took out all the floor plugs and they masked most of the bolt holes. A few of them I had to cut with a razor or sand down with a Dremel tool. While I had the hood off and taking the hinges and other parts off I decided to have them powder coated. It's like breathing new life into the grumpy 'ol girl. Jim -- '86 CJ-7 D30 D44 D300 4:1 T-5 SOA ARB 4.56 Mopar MPI Fresno, CA USA http://home.comcast.net/~cj.7/ |

What was the purpose of doing the underside of the hood?
