Raptor Lining, one year later. How has it held up?

[@melanieabarra5670]

On tire carrier, should have a small rubber bumper on each corner square.

[@joshualuk]

I think it has held up for you. Good job

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

Zero regrets with this decision... but u know the internet... had people tryin to argue with me about it lol

[@Winch_Offroad]

Mo Dale, use a fifth wheel slide ring behind the tire.

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

Thanks buddy, Ill look into getting one! Thanks for watching.

[@Venom-kq5xz]

That quote for powder coat is cheap compared to out here. One of the guys was quoted $1200+ for all four flares. Been thinking about inners(new ones) matte black diy, and powder coat myself from Napa paint. Really making me think about investing into raptor lining some parts. Awesome video!

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

Dude, no way I could ever spend tht kind of money into powder coat of something I’m going to destroy... my soul would be screaming in rage every time I hit it... knowing I could have used tht extra $1k into something more useful... Glad to hear u enjoyed! If u go aluminum u don’t have to coat it either 😊

[@Venom-kq5xz]

@@JLLIFEOFFROAD ya that’s why I’m glad about the front inners I’ll be getting. As for the flares I’m leaning towards Metalcloak or nemesis ind, but I was thinking steel for strength but that’s more weight. I have been on my flares before and can understand why steel would be the better choice with some raptor lining.

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

Definitely over aluminum....

[@Venom-kq5xz]

@@JLLIFEOFFROAD so are you saying if bromance and Heathen ever get flares they’re going to be steel or aluminum?

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

I’m happy with my plastics right now... so Iv never given much thought.... minimal steel would help keep the body safe ... aluminum.... lighter and rust free....

My entire jeep has been Raptor Lined inside and out the last four years. Like paint, prep is key. Other than that it is holding up really well.

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

My buddy’s rig is all raptor lined... and holds up well.... which was why I didn’t even stress doing it... despite a handful telling me it was dumb.... lol I found it dumb to sink all tht extra money into something that would be abused on rocks anyway 😂😂

[@Jeep.Generation]

Nice review. I've never used Raptor lining before. Good to see how it held up.

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

Thanks for watching! When u plan on beating the part... it’s perfect in my opinion

[@nomadbicycletours38]

A good bed liner in can dose a great job on the bottom and lower sides of jeep work great if use in mud ps do not cover hub's ect so you can find crack's ect but rest safe

I raptor lined my whole m416 jeep trailer and i'm pretty impressed with how it's held up too. seems to be a pretty rock solid product when applied correctly.

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

Agreed... and it looks good... different!

[@gilligan80]

Still own it... I've been interested cuz its an epoxy... not a "bedliner"...

[@gilligan80]

[@rxs3016]

I rustoleum almost everything. It’s cheap, protects and looks new when ever I have to retouch. Plastic dip is also pretty awesome and durable. I’d like to rino my interior floor in the future.

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

I probably should have primed her stuff. But I was being lazy. But anything better then nothing 🙌 Plastic dip would least be easy to strip! 😂😂

[@denvermatt]

Check out spraymax 2k spray paint. It's a 2 part clear coat that has hardener in it like professional painters use. They have primer and basecoat but I've just used rustoleum then spraymaxx clear coat. I did my Savvy front bumper with the stuff and it looks professional. It's great stuff for spray paint areas, makes the spray paint last longer and comes out with a hardened finish. I also taught myself how to powder coat and did my wheels, innere fenders, recoated my RK control arms and springs but it's not easy to get it right. My neighbor built an oven out of a an orange metal jobsite box and random oven parts, you can put everything in it. fully agree with you, spray paint or raptor liner the parts that you are going to scratch up. Thanks for making the videos man. If you're ever in the denver area reach out. I'm @Jeepjeep303

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

LOL, im hearing you say all these parts u powder coated thinking how the hell he fit the in his oven,,, but u answered it LOL. I do need to figure something out for some corner armor that Im planning on.... I want to paint match it to the Jeep.... we will keep that in mind. Thanks for taking your time to watch! I always appreciate it when anyone does!

[@FMJeeping]

This is a very well done video Mo. I love that you come out of the gate and say it's not the best option but for the price and what it offers, it's a good option. I think for somebody who doesn't wheel their Jeep. Powder coat is probably a really good option. But stripping powder coat when it starts to really get chipped and worn away. It is definitely a mofo to strip. I have powder coat , raptor liner ,bed liner and spray paint on my vehicle. I have to agree that the raptor liner and the bed liner are my go-to's for the price point and for the protection.

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

thanks for watching brother. Agreed stripping powder coating is a messy hell. So will stripping RL in the event I decide to do it, BUT the task will go faster. And I completely forgot to mention in this video, raptor liner is great because it is flexible... ugh, amateur mistakes hahaha. Thanks for watching Mark, appreciate you!

Friggin LOVED this vid. Thanks for the update on the durability. Powder coat is GREAT if you're a pavement princess, but to spend that much money to knock the hell out of it on rocks is just plain stupid. If you have money to burn, good for you. I'd raptor line all day. Awesome vid, bro!!

So, being the cheap ass that I am, Rust-oleum Hammered black is much cheaper than the Raptor line. Do you have a compare of the two? I've never used the Raptor. I rattle canned my rockers and just touch up the same way- cardboard.
