Off boats, but I am looking for bed liner advice...

I know most here have trucks. Kinda required given our hobby!

Taking delivery of a new one today, and we are going to give it a spray in bed liner.

Speedliner or Line-x.

Any opinions?

No, no Rhino Liner. Been there, didn't like it. Dealer sucks.

Thanks in advance!!!!!

Sorry Dug, I've only had Rhino Liner in my trucks, 6 in all. Got a '71 FJ40 that I did the inside in and its been fantastic. I love it but the dealer I use is great. I had Line X in a duck hunting boat and it tore so often the dealer finally refused to to do warranty work on it.

Dug, we get a ton of used trucks in here at Toyota with faded black oxidized spray-ins, but the Line-X seems to last the longest. We usually put in an over the rail bedliner for resale/astetic reasons. I'm just sayin!

I have Line-X and love it. In my last pickup I did not have anything, and realized I was going to ding the hell out of the bottom of the box (when I was building our house I hauled a bunch of rock, bricks, etc, etc), so I went to Home Depot and bought enough of the perforated rubberized interlocking floor mats to cover the bed.. no scratches at all. When I sold the old truck and bought the present one I just transferred the mats after the Line-X had cured. The mats work great, and the Line-X looks like new.

I have heard the drop-in plastic liners trap moisture and cause the bed to rust, but I never have used one so I can't vouch for this.

A genuine fact. Been there, done that, it did that. Spray in is the only way to go... Good idea on the floor mats as additional protection.

I've had a drop in liner in my 95 Ford Ranger since its new. No signs of rust yet, but I do have a cover on the bed perhaps that is the difference.

The cover makes a hell of a differance with the fuel economy.

Here is the kicker...

Speedliner $400.

Line-x $865.

I am always the first to understand that you get what you pay for, but...that is a big difference.

I would shop around in case you haven't already. My Line-X liner cost about half that much 18 months ago.

You better get a liner sprayed on soon or your whole bed will disintegrate!
