Its this stuff that normally coats the bottom of doors,fenders and bed sides, this is what i used.

The paint shop had some Raptor liner which @Randyzzz mentioned somewhere, but they wanted £200 a litre for it with the colour tint, i will let you convert it to US figures but that seemed stupidly expensive to me so i passed, will buy paint instaed to put on top of the graveltex.
 
Photo of the textured finish, should be good for wear and can be touched up easily, wont be as hard wearing as proper bedliner but this stuff you can paint on top of.
Its cold in the workshop so ts going to take a bit to dry fully so i think it may sag/sink a bit more yet.

They made 400 of them back in 2016 and would of been about £27,000 GBP when new, whats that about $32,000.
Genuine ones of the 400 made are now on sale for £70,000 to £80,000 GBP so around $90,000 USD, crazy prices but a good investment if you have one that is for sure.!

FWIW Lunar Rock is darker than that in person. I see a 4Runner TRD driving around my area every couple of days. Nice color.
 
Rare time off so been busy getting a temporary spray booth setup and then sealing and spraying, decided after much deliberation to be boring and paint the 8 a simple gloss light grey.
Wont be grey underneath for long, once the paint has dried then its getting under-sealed to death so hopefully the next photo will be a nice waxy brown/black under that tub ready for the UK roads and weather.

Have you thought about bed lining the underside? Mate of mine did that in Colorado years ago on his Land Cruiser and it hasn't given an inch to road salt in the 7 or 8 years since he did it. He daily drives it too.

Yeah but after i got that price for the Raptor i would need to remortgage to afford to do it!!,
I reckon with 2 coats of etch primer and 3 coats of paint even with no underseal its already way better protected than factory ever did....

I did get some Dinitrol ML stuff that is very thin and runs in to all the crevices, cracks and seams, i have used it before and its great in all the box sections as well, just very,very messy!.
I have some thicker Dinitrol stuff that goes on top of that as the finished product, which helps seal it all in as well.
Reading the data sheets i need it to be a bit warmer in the workshop before i use it though, might have to get a temporary space heater in my spray booth or just risk it and see what it does....
 
Stripped the emergency brake mechanism which is seat mounted on the RHD and i have a question for the Jeep owners without the seat mounted parking brake.
Does the switch and the clevis look to be the same as a foot mounted emergency brake?? just for future reference for spares thats all!!!

I checked a copy of the parts manual and found the LHD CJ parking brake doesn't show the parts :shrug:, however the RHD shows the switch (it looks like the other piece may be a part of the complete assembly)

The part number is common for several other models and years.
