Not for me, but it looks good. Congrats on going with your vision for your Bronco. With the added weight of the line-x and the 37’s, any idea what your mpg is now?
Many of us think that life is too short to worry about MPG. Maybe that's my attitude because I put in 300+ hours boating each summer at about 9 gallons per hour. o_O

wow, not bad, I thought it would have added way more than that. Looks durable as hell and will never scratch.
I worked in sales for 3M in the Automotive refinish market for over 20 years and it was an educated guess that was on the high side. Here's from a quote from a Line X dealer that indicates it's only about 90 lbs for a full exterior. I love the cooler analogy, lol.

Lastly here are some myths or incorrect statements I have come across with the corrections next to them.

"LINE-X will add like 500 lbs" - False, We spray exteriors around 65mils on average. At that thickness you achieve the tough coating you want and don't add a significant amount of weight. Less than 90 lbs on average for a full size vehicle completely sprayed. About as much weight as your cooler stocked with "sodas" and ice.

thanks for the info. I believed him when he said 100lbs…I just thought it would be heavier but based upon no real experience.

I just tried to explain this to my wife. She first said, isn't Line-x a software language? So I explained that it is what you would spray as a bedliner in a pickup. She said, oh, that seems weird.

That's how I know this is awesome!! Somebody please share some ballpark pricing.

I guess I can unsubscribe to the mudflap thread now.

The body shops I had as customers in CA charged about $4k to Line X an entire truck.

I gotta admit. I'm surprised that the Bronco looks so good completely naked. Kind of very post apocalyptic mad max.

I won't lie, I had low expectations for this project but this doesn't look bad
