Well being a bit reluctant about "new things" when I bought my truck 2 years ago, I was reluctant to try Rhino Linings. Instead I bought the so typical POS bed liner. with in 2 years its slip resistant cover was slicker than all heck. And I took a good spill off the tailgate liner on wednesday


Saturday I dropped my truck off for Rhino Lining install.......Never even gonna consider a bed liner again. Today was the test, 3 panic stops cause people insist on trying to have themselves T boned by me. Nothing in the bed moved an inch, It looks great, never ever have to worry bout what sand/dirt/salt made its way underneath the bedliner again.


Take my advice F*&K these POS bedliners.


Bill

ditto what he said...


If not Rhino, something sprayed in.

I never liked the plastic liners in any of my trucks for all the above reasons and plenty of my own. I always wondered about the spray on liners, (you cant take it off, it's there forever) but it has to be better than the plastic.

I guess your preference will depend on your use. I think the spray in liners look nice but I need a lot of impact resistence. Heavy blocks, bricks, and tools are constantly being thrown at it. I couldn't imagine what the spray in would look like after a forklift pushed in a cube of 12" blocks. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Shocked.gif In this case grip would be a bad thing. After mine gets destroyed I will toss it and throw in a new one.

good point for the heavy duty users. speaking for myself ( i am a ***** when it comes to hauling) i dont need that.

... (you cant take it off, it's there forever) but it has to be better than the plastic.


Question: Why would you ever want it off?


When I got mine done, one of the guys that I work with asked me that very question. My response was, "If I wanted it off, I wouldn't have put it in there."


Regarding the heavy use thing. That's really a good point about spray ins. THINGS DON'T SLIDE AROUND, OR IN FOR THAT MATTER. In some ways that's a good thing, and in other's it's not. Just depends on what you want...

If you really beat the bed to death, like dropping broken bricks from a backhoe into it, The toughest thing is a drop in on top of a Rhino. I like the Rhino because while it's not the prettiest it seems to be the best to keep things from sliding around. If you don't want a liner then the rubber mats like they sell at Wally world seem to work OK for light use.

Yup, I'm a Rhino fan too.

Hey all


I'm going to get Rhino'ed this weekend. I'm going with the gray as my '04 is dark metallic gray. My first diesel and my first Rhino, love the truck can't wait for the lining.


Hey jim, where in Jersey are you? I'm in central, Whiting, Ocean County.


Thanks all this site is so informative! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clown.gif

hog1340, Got my Rhino installed in Tuckerton about 3 months ago. Real happy with it. I know you won't be disappointed.

Its has a resistance of 1700 psi, before it I guess would crumble/ break so unless your dropping cinder blocks/bricks off the top of the chimney in your house into the bed of the truck, you should be fine.


You can do it right the first time or try again later.....I learned now


Free bedliner available

Those POS plastic bedliners make great covers for your kids sand box :)

Nice William..........


LINER-X is what I got, ya saw it..........Good Luck with it..


See Ya Saturday....

Love the Line-X. Wears like iron. Wouldn't ever go back to a drop in liner.

Hey jim, where in Jersey are you? I'm in central, Whiting, Ocean County.
Western edge of Warren county, just over the Delaware river form Easton PA.

I have to agree with both sides here. I have a Line-X spray on, but have had Rhino and drop in. The Line-X is great, but if I go get a load of gravel, I sometimes regret not being able to slide the gravel out with shovels towards the end. But, I don't regret it long when I consider the other times when I love having a spray in liner. Just my 2 cents

Try "LINE-X"


A great liner !!

Have to agree....

hog1340hd,


It's a little off the beaten path in a small industrial park near the parkway. I think they do a real nice job. It's a father and son business.


Rich

I have a drop in with a rubber mat on top of it for skid resistance. The spray on liners look nice but offer little impact resistance to supplement the paper thin sheet metal on todays pickups. Also the spray on liners peel quite easily if you have to slide something heavy on them. Just yesterday I peeled a big strip in the back of a guys pickup while I was helping him load some shafting.


Personally I think that if you are going to haul things that are hard and heavy you are better off going a different route. --SS

I'm sure that's the one I'm going to. They call it West Creek, But it's right off the Parkway. I can't wait.

From Whiting, I would just take 539 almost to the parkway in Tuckerton. The street that they are on in West Creek is just before the parkway on the left hand side. You go probably 2 or so miles, go under the parkway, and they are on the LHS.

Just came back from picking up my truck with the new Rhino in it. It came out great, I went to the one in Tuckerton. They did the over the edge, and didn't charge extra for it. I told them i got there name from here, and would put in a good word when I saw the finished product, Awesome!!!

Good luck with the new Rhino.

Isn't Rhino - softer on the knees???
I've heard that Line-X will take the hide off your knees?
Any truth to it???
Paulhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif

As I sit here typing, I have a chunk of knuckle missing from taking my 5th wheel hitch out of my Line-X lined bed. It is tough stuff, and yes your knees, knuckles, elbows will give out long before you can so much as scuff the finish. On the positive side, I slid that 200+ lb hitch out of the bed, and just unloaded a bunch of lumber, and there isn't a mark to be found.


Mike

I considered a spray in when I got my truck and after some dialogue with a salesman that no longer sprays them, was alerted that it may not be the best for me since I routinely am loading heavy pallets into the bed and pushing one up with another. For me, slick is good so I got another under the rail cheapy then had a piece of 3/16" alluminum treadplate cut to fit on my tailgate. Depends on what you use your truck bed for I guess.

Just because they call it a bed doesn't mean you need to use it like one http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif Just be lucky you don't have a carpet liner. Nothing worse then carpet burn on your knees http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif

I have both, I have a spray in liner, bed and tailgate, then I have a drop in in bed. The spray in is to prevent anything from getting underneath and eating away at my bed, and the liner is my impact barrier, on the passenger side I took some sand mixture and scattered ontop of a lite application of clear coat. This gives me good traction on one side and nice slick surface on the other.
