DIY Bed Lining re: Wrangler?

Anyone have experience with a DIY bed lining job in a Wrangler?
I’d like to line the tub of my JK. I’ve considered a Bedrug or Bedtred but a DIY liner is much more cost effective, $200 for the materials, equipment, and labor (me) vs $500+ for a complete Bedtred system.
Not a stranger to painting or DIY but, wow much of a pain in the arse would I be getting myself into?

go with the hurculiner roll on kit.
its simple and easy to do just have to prep the surface and tape what you dont want it on properly first. brush all edges and corners first by dabbing the brush and lightly stabbing at the surface, then follow up with the roller. ignore the can and let it dry 24 hours before you repeat by dabbing all edges and corners as well as any missed spots showing color, then roll a second coat. when i was done i did a light 3rd coat to use up the last of the gallon can
do 2-3 coats and its just as nice and better protected than a spray on liner with just a single coat.
FYI it drips like thick paint so if its a nice driveway then better to park it in the yard to do it

I used Raptor and it was easy. A high level of prep work is key. clean and sand surface, I also used a product called Bully Dog. It is an adhesive promoter.

I also used raptor liner in the past for a bediner. Prep was 90% of the job

did my older YJ. just got the duplicolor stuff from oreillys and rolled it one. it was like alligator skin afterwards. it's good stuff.

For the love of god don't do hurculiner or duplicolor.
Both will scrape off on accident, but are somehow impossible to remove to redo.
Monstaliner.
The best DIY stuff made. Extremely durable.

This is bad advice. Polyurea coatings have a working window. The reaction that allows proper bonding of the next coat to properly adhere to the previous peaks at about 1 hour after application.
I would also use a good primer that is compatible before putting down the base coat. Like anything else - they key to a good job is the prep work.

You need to remove all the sound deadening junk before you line it. its a bit labor intensive depending on the age(older the better). Other than that its removing everything, which is also not hard but can take some time. Plan on at least a day in prep work.

Dry ice works awesome for removal.
It took over 36 hours to clean and prep my tub for coating.
Sand with 60 grit and then work up to the scotch pads

Does dry ice work on the epoxy stuff keep uses? I know it works on the mat type deadeners. I’ll eventually line my tub but not looking forward to the prep. Luckily after running so long without doors and carpets the deadener is starting to come out on its own.
I really want to line the underside with a heat resistant lining more though. My engine heats the shite out of my tub
Angle grinder with wire brush makes for quicker sanding prep as well

Not if you want it to stick.
As for heating the tub, it will stay cold when it's freezing out and stay scalding hot when it isn't.
My boots froze to my floor at the grand canyon. Heater on full blast
And I'd toss blocks of ice on the floor during the summer to help with heat
