Just get a TJM-15 and hack off the outer hoops, it's quite an easy job. Just use a 4 1/2" grinder with sanding disc to clean up the welds and you won't be able to tell it ever had them. Just rattle can it with satin black paint afterwards, it blends nicely with the powdercoat finish.

The only thing getting lined on my truck will be the floor on the interior. Everything else will be rattle canned, it is so much easier to maintain and looks nice enough IMO. Think about it, you bed-line sliders or a bumper, you rip out a chunk on the rocks, now you have to go back, remove any excess lining, cut it back until there are no loose peices, clean and sand the area, get more liner (which I don't think lasts that long sitting in a can in your garage) and patch that spot a couple times until it is built up to the same level as the surrounding area, or, if you had it professionally done, you now have to pay someone to repair something that you will do again in a month or less. If it is rattle canned, just sand it, prime it, spray it. Done! Hell, if you are lazy, wipe it off and spray a coat over it and it will look pretty enough, haha.
Flooksy, shouldn't you be out sanding off the rust that your ONLY mod has created? That bug-deflector could be rhino-lined I bet!

on the topic of lining, while I was in uptstae new york a few years ago, somebody had the entire back portion of an old f150 done with the rhino liner, the bed, and the whole fenders in the back. On the topic of bumpers, I like Mr. Goats the best, looks awsome, I never knew those brush guards were stock, always wondered though.
