Line X is the way to go. We have built many Early Ford Broncos at our shop and have sent rigs out to be sprayed. After a year of dealing with Rhino linner and seeing what they looked like a year later we switched to Line X and our customers are really happy. We have never had a complaint with line X.
By the way we tried some of the doi it your self products on some of our own off road broncos. It is a waste of time and effort.

I have a Fusion and I just bought a P2, it's sitting here in a box. Breakdown requires a 9/32 wrench which is NOT easily found. I had to order one off the internet. As soon as it gets here, I'm hooking up the P2.
We recently finished this project. BTW, it's got a LT1 Vette engine. Look at the back window: "HUM THIS", Funny!
Before:
After with silver LINE-X Xtra; black Xtra on the grill guards, steps, and wheel wells.

I know a few guys with Extreme in their truck and it's held up great, still looks great. Also know 1 guy with a LINE-X, they look about the same after just under 2 years.
This is real life testing with ATVS in the bed and being rough on 'em with heavy loads. Same guy sprayed my Extreme that sprayed their's. It's largely in who sprays this stuff on your truck and the preparation.
My opinion may not be factual to you, or anyone else for that matter. But from what I've seen first hand, they both hold up about the same. I'm sure you could find cases from every company where they have chipped, or had issues.

OK, I think we are thinking on two different levels. Your level is, "Hey, looks just as good and it holds up well".
My level is, who makes the Extreme chemicals (Extreme probably does not, so where do they buy it from?) How well was the resin synthesized and how well does the isocyanate crosslink with the resin? What are the technical specifications of Extreme using ASTM test methods, such as tear strength, temperature tolerance, and taber abrasion? Those types of attributes lead to the aspects of your level and those types of attributes lead to the decision of which product is actually "better". So, that's what I was referring to in my previous post.
