Fresh Line-X in the M1009

[readyman]

For the purists who want that 383CARC 'look' in their M1009 interior. The Line-X guy did a great job of color matching with their upgraded KEVLAR formula. I did all the prep work myself and drove 20 miles to the Line-X dealer with only a seat and a speedo. Because dealer disassembly was $.
Looking forward to revising the inside door stencil - Hose down interior only.
I welded up/Line-X'd a mount for the 40mm ammo can center console, that's the thing sitting on the hump.
I found out both Upol and Sem Bedliner has a tintable 'Do It Yourself' package for a fraction of the cost, only after I had Line-X do it.
Next thing to do is set off a 383CARC bomb in the interior without messin' up the Line-X job.

I like it!!! It looks great! I did the DIY bedliner. It came out OK, of course, not as good as a professional job but works for me. I like that yours is color matched

 

[lavarok]

Looks like they did a nice job and it looks great.

Line-X has a lifetime warranty and is much tougher than any DIY kit.

 

[CPAPPY]

Nice job, what do they charge to do that if you don't mine me asking . It looks like it a somewhat smooth finish?.

 

[Cleptomaniac]

That looks great!!

WOW that looks NICE!!! Don't know what the purist think about the shade of green, but I think it's a great match! I'm curious too, what the tinted liner set you back??

That gives me an idea for my next MV. I like the LINE-X, thought it only came in black. Looks great!

I think it looks great! I am interested in finding out how much it cost, and whether the liner quiets down the interior at all. Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Looks great. What did the guy charge you. I looked at a place in vegas they wanted 600

 

[readyman]

I still have some parts there to be sprayed so I don't have a final $ yet. The color match was a $400 upcharge tho.

I saw a Jeep Cherokee the other day that was painted (outside) completely in Line X. It looked bad azz!

 

[T. Highway]

I was looking to have the same thing done in the bed of my M37. I like the way it turned out in on your truck.

 

[readyman]

Yeah, driving it home with the huge empty interior was a noticeable quieter ride than the ride there.

I also did the polypropylene plastic air vent panels, so they can do more than metal coating.

Excellent! Love the new interior look.

 

[DieselBob]

That looks very good. Don't forget that bed liner will also help keep explosions under the vehicle from penetrating the floor.

 

[readyman]

That's right DieselBob, in order to get the color match I had to upgrade to the Line-X XTRA coating with Kevlar!?!
I made sure they went far up the firewall in case my 6.2 crank cracks in half(at speed) again, like in my HMMWV.
I picked up a load of Line-X'd parts for another project but the CUCV parts still weren't done yet so I still don't have a price yet.

Dare I ask what happened "At Speed" when your crank shaft parted ways?

Hello Readyman,

The line X job looks great, I would liked to get my interior professionally lined too, when I can afford it, so it can get done right, and it will be tougher,
than doing it myself. But I will consider doing it myself anyway, we shall see..

But what do you mean by a 383 CARC bomb?

 

[Keith_J]

Looks great but quite expensive. I'm looking at Lizardskin thermal on the outside and sound on the inside bottom with thermal on the headliner. Then custom fit rubber mat on the floor. This will help on the heat and noise.

I was joking around, the busting crank wasn't all that exciting. We were going 60mph with all systems and gauges normal. Then POW. 0 oil pressure and the 6.2 continued to run as I drove to the shoulder. Scratched my head for a while until I saw the crank pulley idling with an inch of end play. It started and idled rough even after that. It had 4500 miles and was an arsenal rebuild.
