    I can't remember if this has been discussed before (and I'm too lazy to check right now), but has anyone ever thought of Plastidipping the cladding? https://www.dipyourcar.com/home.php?...FcY7MgodhFYARA
    Might have the same adhesion issues as the Line-X, but the Plastidip looks fairly inexpensive (if you get it in a rattle can) so you could just re-coat any pieces that may get scratched. You could also change colors on a whim.

    I've had an idea for a paint job on the stock 18's for a while so I may try it out in Plastidip first since it seems so easy to apply and peal off if you don't like it.

    Plastidip is cool stuff but if you paint over it the removal is not that easy - without a topcoat it peels off easily - at least within a certain amount of time. I bought some for my RC VX cladding.

    Cool, never heard of that stuff. I would say something needs to be done with the insert though, it just isn't right with the rest of the truck?
    I am still happy with the LineX. No problems, snow, mud, wheeling, haven't noticed any issues.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    I'm REALLY happy with my Line-X too..

    But at $800 for the whole thing...this stuff looks like a GREAT DEAL.

    I would seriously look at this as an alternative if I do another vehicle..
    ....because I wont get the super discount I got on the ORW Line-X again

    If the whole thing is $800...those looking for cladding only would
    get excellent value IMO.
