rhino lining my interior!
im removing all my carpet and rhino lining my interior....today i started kinda late but i got the cargo areas carpet removed....was fairly easy to remove and to my surprise no rust at all...not even surface rust not bad for 20 years old....tomorrow im gonna remove the rest of the carpet and start laying down the liner...my plan is to leave the carpet out and put down 3 coats of liner and just throw down some heavy duty mats...i mean lets face it mud is BAD for carpet....pics to follow

Just remember that the liner, when dry, can be scratchy worse than sandpaper. I have helped RL a couple of Jeep interiors, still looks brand new after 3-4 years..

Should look good when your done. I helped my buddy do that with his samurai. We used Line-X for his. We also drilled some drain plugs in the floor. That way when the inside gets coated in mud all he has to do is spray her down with the hose.

I just finished that very same project about 3 weeks ago.
About 1/2 way down
You are lucky you did not have that damn adhesive tar crap under your carpets...
Use something electric (wire brush on grinder, rust remover disk on drill, etc) to speed the prep work up. The more you prep the better it goes. Also you should steer clear of the Rhino liner unless you are in love with it, sponsored by them, or have a buddy cutting you a sweet deal. It is not flexable or as easy to repair as the Line-X style liner. Hell I used Herculiner. $75 got me a gallon, a handle, 2 rollers, a scratchy pad, and a 2" paint brush. Everything a growing boy needs to do 3 coats and you'll have a bit left over.
Also while it is tempting to pour it on think, wait until your last coat to go heavy. If you put too much on and it pools up, it will crack and trap moisture defeating the whole point.
I will try to get some finished pics up since those are post 1st coat shots.

Walmart for $77 OR go to o'reilly's/checker/schucks and they price match $75 at Walmart. Don't think about the math, just go and price match...
Also if you just use Acetone 9and let it evaporate) you can blow off the nearly impossible to find Xylene they suggest for post-prep, pre-paint wipe down.
You will also need a drill mounted mixing wand since you can't just shake up bedliner. Holy crap and some dishwashing gloves! That stuff is murder to get off skin! Acetone straight just made my whole hand grey
One more thing, if you can leave your windows down and hatch up all night (over ride dome light). The smell of the herc (or any bedliner) curing is a little rough, but not chemically. More like bad candy... you will see. Also if you park in the sun, crack your windows for the first week or so
