Thoughts on raptor lining interior floor

Cons are once done it is a bitch to remove if you change your mind

Tends to trap dirt and looks dirty all the time

If not prepped properly can peel off in sheets

that is true. Not as much here either, but I've come across a few that were transplanted down here from the great lakes area and New England that were pretty rough.

I think generally you can spot it from underneath a lot of the time because it often starts at the torque box. But there are people that let carpeted Jeeps get rained on with the top down and I can't rule out that paint rubbed off by carpet combined with trapped water would start rot from the inside out...and then be covered in bedliner rather than fixing it correctly.

I cant comment on raptor linner directly. But i did do monstaliner in my tj.

Whether it is easy to clean or not really depends on who you go with.

Some easy cons:
Lower resale
Some bedliners are rough enough to cause abrasions
Issues color matching depending on the color of jeep and brand of bedliner.
Turn off to a lot of buyers
Pain in the ass to remove if you choose to.

Some pros that ive found on what i used are:
Easy to clean
Cheap to do and repair
Washes off really nicely.
Dont give a damn about the paint.

In all honesty what you will find is a lot of different opinions, you just have to ask does this fit my build or what i want in my rig. It definitely wont look showroom or like nice paint.

We applied Monstaliner to the LJ back in November and it turned out great and have no foreseeable issues. I was afraid of the floor boards heating up due to the exhaust running underneath them without that carpet and padding but that seems to be a non issue so far. It looks great, is easy to clean and at least with the Monstaliner brand, it isn’t abrasive. I would recommend doing it but check out all the brands possible so you know what the end result will be.
