    Two friends of mine have a "Line-X" spray-in bedliner and like them very much.

    Rhino and Line-X are a 50/50 split. I have friends that have both and all are pleased.

    I have a truck I use for work and wouldn't have a "rino" liner because you can't slide heavy cargo on and off with any ease. The plastic one allows a person to load and unload with ease. It depends on what you will need and how you will use it. A freind of mine has the rino liner and cusses everytime he needs to load/unload anything after he has used mine.

    I don't haul much heavy cargo. I know what you mean about the "sliding" bit. I have a rubber bed-mat in my pickup right now. That's a pain in the *!

    I went with a brand "X" type that was called "Speedliner" and it sucks because it was cheaply applied and too thin.(It is a spay on). That was four years ago and "Speedliner" may be history for all I know.Be sure the spray on is what you want because it's like a tattoo.[This message has been edited by booger (edited 12-30-2001).]

    I'd vote for the drop in liner. If you should happen to get a bit of moisture trapped under a "spray on", sooner or later you're gonna' have a rust spot in the bed. Mudge the alchemist

    Mudge--That's exactly the opposite of what I've been told by everyone that should know better. Hmmm...

    Dangit 13fister, where have you been? There's gotta be a new woman in your life because I can NEVER get ahold of you! I'm leaning towards a Rhino. The only spray-on bedliner service in the area does Rhino-linings so I think I'll go with that.

    Got a "Tuff Coat" at about 1/2 of Rhino's cost. It's been in a year, and no problems.

    I put on my own using the bed liner material that I got at Walmart. It works great and looks good. It won't take as much punishment as the others but you can touch it up if needed. Best part it was under 50 bucks in materials.The Beast

    If the next buyer of a truck with a spray-in liner does not want it, how do you remove it? If I were looking at a used pickup with a spray-in coating in the bed area, I would probably pass. Go with a drop-in liner that can be removed. The drop-in liners actually protect the bed from dents, which is the major purpose of a liner in the first place. While the drop-in liners may wear off some paint where they contact the bed, that is minor compared with a coating of glorified tar over the entire bed. If slickness is a problem for your dog with a liner, you already have the bed mat that will solve that problem when needed.

    In the back of my pick-up, which I should add is covered with a cap, I have a piece of outdoor carpeting which I got at Lowes for a couple of bucks and cut to fit around the wheel wells.I normally keep a piece of cardboard on top of that, just slid between the wheel wells--and the cardboard was FREE!It may not be a "pretty" set-up, but it works great for me.

    One of my buddies with the Line-X lining had it sprayed over the rails, had his rear step-bumper sprayed and also his cab steps.I don't think I'd get one of these. Don't like the idea of glorified undercoating being sprayed on my paint.

    The next guy may not want it but it does add to the overall value of the vehicle when you trade it in. Most view it as an upgrade.

    Get you a $150.00 drop in and you want be sorry. It is easy to wash out, protects the bed and can be removed easily. The spray in jobs are a lot more expensive, real hard to scoot things on(the might be a plus for hauling some things) and next to impossible to remove.

    I don't haul anything that I can't toss in the back with my two hands. Too much grip isn't an issue. Oh well. I've pretty much got the spray-in type fixed in my mind. I should be able to get it done and get close to buying the rifle I'm thinking about with my tax return this year.

    I had to be different, I guess.I have a "BEDRUG" in my truck. It is custom molded carpeting that fits in with Velcro and zippers. It can be hosed and will not rot. The bottom part has matching ribs made into it that fit into the ribs on the truck bed so the finished floor is flat. For cleaning, you just vacuum or hose.Rain won't affect it, but sun will fade it, so it is recommended for use on covered truck beds. I have a topper on mine. Inside of topper is covered in fabric that matches the Bedrug. Looks sharp.It is also fairly comfortable to sleep on.
